Please, if you can, refrain from the ad hominem attacks. I'm really trying to understand where you're coming from but the "stupid as hell" and "wanted to yell...again" phrases are juvenile.

Is it not correct there were two bills as described above, one about federal money and another about criminalization? If this is so, why would the dems vote against banning federal dollars for such procedures, especially if they are rare as you stated? I would completely agree with voting against a bill making it criminal for the reason stated above and voting for a bill preventing federal funds for any such procedures.

To be sure, if I were in the Tennessee legislature, I would vote to criminalize these type of procedures for anyone under 18.

No, what was described above was about sex transition surgeries. That is not what either bill was about, as I understand it, and certainly not the criminalization one which was the topic of discussion. The bills were about gender affirming care more broadly, which encompasses far, far more than surgery and includes things like treatment for precocious puberty; trying to criminalize those things, punish parents, or yank needed Medicaid funds from any hospital that performs them is needless cruelty

Glad to see HHS make this move to protect children and minors. Taxpayer funded healthcare should only pay for essential services and emergency care. Not elective surgeries and especially not gender transition for minors

From the article:

A group of 19 Democrat-led states and Washington, D.C., filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over a declaration that aims to restrict gender transition treatment for minors.

The lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; its secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.; and its inspector general comes after the declaration issued last week described treatments such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy and gender surgeries as unsafe and ineffective for children experiencing gender dysphoria.

Medicaid programs in just under half of states currently cover gender transition treatment. At least 27 states have adopted laws restricting or banning the treatment, and the Supreme Court’s decision this year upholding Tennessee’s ban likely means other state laws will remain in place.

Hopefully the SCOTUS sides with science and women's rights ...

From the article:

A coalition of female athletes and Republican attorneys general rallied to defend the sanctity of women’s sports in Washington, D.C., on Monday ahead of the U.S. Supreme Court’s consideration of the issue this week.

The moment came ahead of the Supreme Court’s Tuesday oral arguments in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., which center around laws passed by Idaho and West Virginia that prohibit trans-identifying men from competing in women’s sports. The high court will address the question of whether these statutes violate the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause, or, in West Virginia’s case, Title IX.

“We were told — loud and clear — that our rights to safety, our rights to privacy in areas of undressing, our rights to equal opportunity, [that] they didn’t matter. They certainly didn’t matter as much as the boys’ feelings, the man’s feelings, his happiness. We were told that mattered more than our rights,” Gaines said.

More than 20 state attorneys general have signed onto briefs supporting Idaho and West Virginia in their respective cases before SCOTUS.

Things are not looking good for the alphabet gang. After all this time they still have no answer when asked to define sex or define woman. It's the one question that shuts down any argument about trans people in women's sports. I've seen a few mentally ill liberals try to conjure up some definition but it always ends with them being angry or trying to answer anything but the question of what is a woman.

I doubt most Democrats even support men in women's sports but a lot are just too afraid to stand up to the radical far left leaders that have taken over their party.

Unlike the ADF, Idaho and West Virginia attorneys who stood in the courtyard of the Supreme Court and took multiple questions from reporters, and even kept offering questions when the press had nothing left to ask, Block and his ACLU colleagues only answered the singular question about defining sex after offering preprepared statements.

The actual question is a stupid one. I don't follow any women's sports but I still don't think 6'4" Lia Thomas with male genitals should be swimming against girls.

My counter question: has there ever, anywhere, been a biological male compete against biological females in any competition specifically set aside for females? If your answer is yes I don't need to know anything else to stand in opposition.
