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.

    At best you get “Well, that is just your interpretation of scripture. We are an imperfect people and can only do our best to understand God’s love”. Most likely you get “the bible doesn’t say that” or some variation of “The devil will use His word against the faithful” and the like

    Because they aren’t logical and they don’t actually care what the bible says. They care what their preacher says. Whether that is Father Glenn ranting in the newspaper every week (because even his flock avoid church so as to not tempt him with little boy flesh) or Bill on Facebook. And that is it.
