Tennessee curbs trans treatment and drag for children
The governor signs the laws as questions are asked about an old photo apparently of him in women's clothing.

Tennessee is putting in a place a law, Tennessee, right wing, religious, not very friendly towards LGBT.
The law bans "drag performances in front of children and restricting medical treatment for transgender youth."
Does anyone have a problem with this?
Drag performances are SEXUAL. Kids should not be going to strip clubs, they should not have anyone performing sexual or sex based dances. I even think that thinks twirking should be banned from videos that kids can get their hands on. The amount of obscene stuff that is allowed to be open to everyone seems like "free speech gone too far".
As for the treatment for transgender youths, no kid should be allowed to have such a LIFE ALTERING operation at such a young age. Most teenagers are FUCKED UP in the head going through hormone changes, they need time as an adult to make such decisions.
And most importantly they need (which they won't get in Tennessee, will they?) mental healthcare possibilities.
A lot of transgender people are dealing with mental health issues, and I believe many might think their problems will be solved by having this surgery. What is needed, and needed to start as soon as possible is a study on mental health and transgender people so that healthcare professionals can help such people as early as possible, so they don't end up destroying their lives for a mistaken hope.
