Anti-trans organizations have said that their position against gender affirming care center on "protecting kids." Now, a Florida judge has allowed them to proceed with their next target: trans adults.

Key takeaway from the article for me was this paragraph:

“The stark reality is now inescapable: legislations targeting the medical care of transgender adults have taken root, despite the claims of anti-trans activists that they are trying to “protect children” with these laws. Florida’s new provisions represent the first significant restrictions on trans adult care to fully materialize.”

      I think their point is that that’s precisely why you can never allow anything just because “think of the kids”. It’s always a misdirection.

      It was never about protecting kids and the title makes it sound like it was. It is about decimating rights and distracting and dividing us further so they can stay in power. It’s not a surprise they would go after adults next.
