    Here’s something important for everyone: It’s actually a GOOD thing to be able to change your views when confronted with new evidence. Many of the Nordic countries, Canada and the rest of Europe are putting the brakes on certain gender affirming care up to a certain age and I’m going to guess it’s not just childish discrimination as to the reason they’re doing it.

      Yes, it is, but how is that relevant here? What “new evidence” appeared that caused Newsom’s increasing anti-trans rhetoric?

      What do you think is the reason several countries are putting the brakes on certain gender affirming care under a certain age?

        I’ve read a few things but the primary concern is irreversible treatments.

        I’m not the expert and think it should be up to doctors and their patients based on whatever consensus the medical community reaches.

          I agree with with it being between doctors and patients based on the medical consensus.

          Tho that’s kinda the opposite of your original comment, which seemed to suggest it should be determined by politicians. Or at least implied that politicians are basing their laws on the medical consensus, which isn’t always true especially with topics like trans rights that have been overly politicized and then demonized as a moral failing.
