  • I understand the point you are trying to make, but this is the compromise that we need to make, at least for now, to make progress.

    If any politician goes full force with “transgender healthcare for minors, regardless of parental consent” they will lose. It sucks, but that’s how it is.

    A lot more trans kids will die if Sayed loses vs. If he wins. I want him to win, not die on an absolutist hill.

    We need to work towards laws about parental medical neglect. Focus on the laws that let parents deny lifesaving healthcare to their children on religious grounds first (a more direct form of child murder imho). Eventually we can move the needle on putting children ahead of their parents’ ideologies, but that isn’t a fight we are going to win today.
