The new law that bans gender-affirming care for minors also mandates that adult patients seeking trans health care sign an informed consent form. It also requires a physician to oversee any health care related to transitioning, and for people to see that doctor in person. Those rules have proven particularly onerous because many people received care from nurse practitioners and used telehealth. The law also made it a crime to violate the new requirements.

Another new law that allows doctors and pharmacists to refuse to treat transgender people further limits their options.

    Because most people don’t see us trans people as human and agree with this. The non cynical interpretation is that they just wouldn’t ever lift a finger.

    But I’m a cynic

      I don’t blame you for being a cynic really. We had the last election last year I believe and we had our chance and chose to vote him back in. Now he’s doing all this shit and pretty much ruining the state as we know it.
