Of course this only guarantees a vote. They could always vote against the bill once it gets to the floor.

I don't know if the cold air machine is a standard thing. It was offered to me on my second session because I looked uncomfortable.

My IPL operator has a machine that blows cold air. She lets me hold and point it which makes me feel like I'm in control and keeps my hands busy. It makes a blowing noise too which I like but you might not. We also take short breaks after each section, and we don't continue until I ask to.

You've got unconditional bodily autonomy in your bio so I figured we were fundamentally on the same team. I appreciate your understanding!

Think about it this way: if a cis woman has hair growing on her face, it's diagnosed as hirsutism. It's a physical ailment, and the solution is to change the body. You wouldn't call a woman mentally ill for experiencing dysphoria because of her facial hair.
