Much like book bans in school libraries that have moved to city libraries and all the other bans that started in schools, this will soon move from bans on children getting healthcare, to bans on adults getting healthcare once they use the "save the children" rhetoric to make their followers comfortable with the prejudices in general.
Absolutely. The plan is no more gender affirming care for trans people period.
Yeah, Missouri tried to include adults with autism from getting gender care.
Yeah, that's one reason I'll never get an official Autism diagnosis. The misinformation about autism that politicians work with is gross. I mostly blame the companies like Autism Speaks who present it as a disease to be cured so parents don't feel bad about making their kids mask rather than most forms being simply a sociologically induced disability because people are too lazy to adapt and too many exploitative social practices exist that neurotypicals can adapt to easily, but many neurodivergent people can't and they don't want to give up the exploitation.
