“We’re not going to involve politics in this decision,” Brass says.
Let’s be clear: this bill is nothing BUT political posturing. Transgender people are being scapegoated by elected officials to help them score political points at their expense.

Sen. Kim Jackson asks Tillery to clarify that this bill would apply to all ages, since Tillery repeatedly refers only to transgender youth.
The government shouldn’t have the ability to overrule patient’s private medical decisions, regardless of age.

Sen. Blake Tillery is presenting the bill now. When asked if he believes gender dysphoria is real, he says “I doesn’t matter what I believe.”
He’s right. We should be letting medical professionals and experts make these decisions, not politicians.
