Lots of misinformation about MI Prop 3 being put out there, we can start by breaking this one down and debunking it. 
1. Gender Reassignment is not mentioned anywhere in prop 3. This is a surgery that requires significant paperwork, prior authorization and parental consent. Language like this is used deliberately without any factual base to incite anger at an already marginalized group.
2. What the sign is attempting to attack is Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT, also sometimes called HRT). This is not a surgical procedure and requires less paperwork. However, this is generally not available before the age of 18 even with parental consent.

Trans and non-binary people face discrimination that makes everyday tasks like going to work or going grocery shopping more difficult, if not dangerous. The Trump administration has encouraged opponents of equality, but we won't back down.
No matter where you live, you should be demanding that candidates for Congress pledge to support the Equality Act, a bill that would fill significant gaps in legal protections for LGBTQ people nationwide, as well as update protections for women and people of color.
