“Transitioning is something that I've been hoping to get and been yearning for,” Aerin said. “I recently managed to convince my family to allow me to start transitioning, and I'm so close to getting there. To take it away from me when I'm so close would be a huge blow to my hope.”
“You hear things like, ‘They’re putting testosterone injections into our 12-year-old South Dakota daughters and cutting off their breasts.’” Dylan said. “Like, first of all, they’re boys, and, second of all, nobody is doing that. The level of misinformation is so upsetting. People often hate things they don’t understand.”
For Rob, a father of a 13-year-old trans girl on puberty blockers in Sioux Falls, this aspect of the legislation feels particularly upsetting. Rob asked to be identified by only his first name. “If you stop the injections, guess what happens? Natural puberty,” he said. But letting his daughter go through puberty without blockers wouldn’t be reversible.“What’s the harm? There’s only one harm, and that's the bill getting pushed through.”
👏🏻👏🏻
Dakota must be a shitty place then
Yes. Let’s allow children to make life altering decisions. Get out of here.
You pump normal, healthy kids full of hormones to into the opposite sex...it cant be undone, and it's usually because there's some nutty adult chirping in your ear. You all need to take a look at your OATH...
I’m ok with a law that tries to keep kids off hormones before every attempt is made to help them live with their sex. Gender affirming care seems to me to be the last step in the process of treatment.
Kids wouldn't have problems with who they are if this crap wasn't pushed on them and raised with the understanding boys are boys and girls are girls thats how families are made, not by tom and jerry
Damn. The gop are literally Nazis
Good. Stop denying science.
Disgraceful.
Trans kids = child abuse. I wouldn't be surprised if God caused another worldwide flood at this point.
Blatant attack on the parents of brainwashing their child. Bout time this bs stops.
MINORS is the key word here ladies and gentleman. A kid should be at least 18..
meth they are on it
under 18 ..no sex change...eliminates the issue from family court...allows the youngster time to mature...the high rate of suicide is not just among vets but those who have sex change surgery but do not love themselves first, .just confused needing therapy.
Shame on my state! Shame!
Why do people care so much about what someone they'll never know, decides what they do with their life?
Good. Child abuse should have consequences.
Why is tolerance not a thing? Why can't people just be who they are and be happy? Shame on South Dakota.
No wonder everyone forgets about that backassward state
This country is so incredibly backward sometimes.
