I say if a politician wants to vote on legislation affecting trans kids, they should have the decency to walk into a room full of them and listen - not talk, but listen, and it seems that this governor did that. What a shame that others have not.
I predict that one day all of the bans on hormone blockers will be lifted. That is the most important part because it allows trans teenagers to stop puberty that they will reverse. With proper counseling and emotional support, they can begin the hormones if they so choose. Or they can choose not to go on estrogen or testosterone. The hormone blockers at least delay time. The last thing a 14-year-old boy wants is to go through female puberty and vice versa.
Ohio is next door to PA, which is my old home state, so this is not a million miles away - this is a very important issue for all trans voters. Yes we are 1% or less of the country but we shall have the right to our own liberties, especially the liberties of the youngest generations of trans people because they actually have a chance to live much fuller, much happier lives than the older generations.
A minor can't even get a tattoo, but you want them to be able to get on puberty blockers???
