The target of all these anti-trans bills against youth pleading "let kids be kids" is directed squarely at their parents.
These laws insinuate that parents are taking their cis gendered kids & forcing them to transition, so the state needs to step in & stop these parents.
1/ So let's break this down a little & expose the bad faith bullshit sandwich this truly is.

Parents can't force their kids to be someone they're not, gay or straight, trans or cis.

If that were true, every homophobic/transphobic parent would only have cis/het kids.

Today's edition of "Why are they doing this?"
It's #GOPPlaybook
Part 2 again: Stupid

For normal adults discussing issues
(anything before congress)
in good faith (not another agenda)
with a common goal (fixing problems for the Americans);

The normal exchange follows a formula:

We have X problem. Let's fix it.

We have X information/evidence/data about the problem we can use to fix it.

We have experts & real people come talk to us about the problem.

Together we all find the best solution to the problem.
