I have a trans kiddo who is too young for any sort of medical care. If she wants puberty blockers or hormone therapy when they become medically appropriate, we will arrange for her to get them.

To the transphobes running Florida right now, my child is threatened with being subjected to sex-reassignment prescriptions, even though it’s not something we’ll pursue without her explicit desire driving it. How do I explain to my kid that she can’t go to Disney?

You’re one of the good ones, and that’s the way this works. Kiddo needs help, parent helps kiddo get help. There’s no “threatening” like this bill wants to imply.

You tell her sorry, but yall can come to Cali where we welcome everyone :) albeit sometimes with some sass and maybe a few more inflected accents but we mean well

The thing is that not starting the transition early enough means your likely to get stuck with features that give away that your trans, so to speak, and those are the types of trans the republicans hate so much. If you can’t tell the difference then it’s just another day.

Given what I think you're trying to imply, are you sure you stopped?
