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.
3. However, Prop 3 also has no mention of GAHT or HRT. What Prop 3 does do is guarantee the right to make personal health decisions regarding sterilization and infertility. Neither testosterone nor estrogen treatment leads to sterilization.
4. In conclusion, the misrepresentation of GAHT and HRT in propaganda against prop 3 is dangerous and intentionally polarizes our electorate and inspires hate towards the already marginalized trans community.
5. Prop 3 does not create the right to gender affirming hormone treatment or reassignment surgery, nor does it invalidate minor consent laws. The ONLY decisions it affects are those relating to and surrounding pregnancy. Anyway #yeson3
