those poor kids


Gov. Janet Mills (D) signed LD 535 into law Tuesday, which means minors aged 16 and 17 can receive hormone therapies prescribed to alter their physical sexual characteristics without parental consent and despite parental objections.

The bill uses the phrase “gender-affirming hormone therapy,” which it defines as “nonsurgical, medically necessary health care that respects the gender identity of the patient, as experienced and defined by the patient.”

Under the new law, 16- and 17-year-olds “diagnosed with gender dysphoria by a health care professional” may be provided “gender-affirming hormone therapy” without the consent of a parent if they inform their health care provider that they “discussed” their gender dysphoria with “a parent or guardian” who subsequently “refused to support treatment.
 

Maine Republicans are expressing concern about controversial sex-change procedures for minors following a bombshell testimony from gender clinic whistleblower Jamie Reed.

In a report published by The Free Press, Reed described shocking levels of negligence and harmful behavior by doctors at The Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, the gender clinic where she used to work.

Reed’s testimony, which was supported with documents and records obtained during her employment, comes as states across the country are seeking to prohibit sex-change treatments and sex-change surgeries for minors. Her report has already triggered a criminal investigation in Missouri.

Reed, a 42-year-old St. Louis native and self-described far-left queer woman, is married to a transgender man and generally supports the LGBT community; however, her time at the gender clinic led her to believe that doctors were actually harming, not helping, the kids.

Sometimes described as “gender affirming” procedures, sex-change treatments have become increasingly popular in recent years. The procedures include puberty blocking drugs, cross-sex hormone supplements, and surgeries that can remove sex organs or reconstruct artificial ones. Whether minors can provide informed consent for the procedures, which are often irreversible, has become a controversial topic over the past year.

Through her work at the clinic, Reed had a front row seat to the kinds of procedures several states are now seeking prohibit for minors, and what she saw was disturbing for Missouri officials as well as Maine Republicans.

The procedures Reed describes are available currently to minors in Maine and are covered in some cases by MaineCare.

The same thing they did with abortions for minors. Push the parents out of the way, but make sure they're on the hook to handle the aftermath when an emotionally disturbed teenager is dropped back on their doorstep.
 
Can you imagine if some conservative Governor sneered at Obama and threatened “I’ll see you in court”? He would have flown into a rage, and liberals would be saying “see how they act to black president”?
 
Democrats are fighting for perverted freaks invading woman's spaces as part of their attacks on America.
 
A monumental happening?
Monumental? What I wish the Gov. had the presence to say when trump said "we are federal law" is............"I realize you want to be, that you think you're a king, but you aren't."
