The state’s ban on gender-affirming pediatric care “cannot be justified” by science, a two-year review concluded.

    But according to the Salt Lake Tribune, legislators behind the ban are already dismissing the findings they asked for.

    Of course they are. They never believed in science. It’s why they have so many anti-vaxxers in their camp. They tried to lean on it (science) because they hoped it would legitimize their hateful beliefs. It’s not difficult to throw it away when it doesn’t come out on their side.

      They’ve been lying about what gender affirming care for kids looks like, why would they tell the truth about anything? There’s a coordinated effort to platform fake detransitioners, to claim that kids are getting handed out surgery and hormones willy nilly, to pretend that adult trans people don’t exist.

      Arguing with these people is like trying to hold sand. They start with “I don’t want trans people to exist” and work backwards.
