To justify laws targeting trans children, GOP legislators have recently looked to a conservative-led country, England, and its failed system of socialized healthcare. They routinely mischaracterize the NHS decision not to give hormone blockers to youth under 16 as a total country-wide ban.
They fail to note that the NHS is a bungling bureaucratic behemoth that takes years, even a decade to begin the process of determining if a person is even eligible to receive hormone blockers. Anyone in the UK who can afford it has long ago gone to the private sector for their Transgender healthcare.
GOP legislators also don't mention that every creditable medical and physiological association in the US and Europe fully supports gender medical transition regardless of age. In fact, the American Psychological Association (APA) just overwhelmingly passed a policy in February 2024 to that effect.
The AP reports that "legislators in at least two U.S. states are citing a recent decision in England to restrict gender transitions for young people as support for their own related proposals."
"They weren’t the first to turn to other countries, notably in Europe, for policy and research ideas. Lawmakers across the U.S., where at least 23 states now have tightened or removed access to transgender health care for minors, have routinely cited non-U.S. research or policies as justification for their legislation."
And that these red states lawmakers are continuing to target trans youth despite leading health organizations in the United States and Europe decisively endorsing gender-affirming care for both transgender youths and adults.
The end game: Total eradication of transgender people, nothing less than gendercide.
Republicans know that if they can keep trans youth from medically transitioning they will be easy targets for their politically motivated discriminatory legislation such as athletic and public accommodation and adult healthcare bans. They often cite the physiological differences that they create by denying youth hormone blockers as the reason for the discriminatory laws that they endorse.
It's all in the plan to eradicate transgender and gender-expansive people as advocated for by The Heritage Foundations Project 2025.
These legislators couldn't care less about transgender children. And their hate isn't justified biblically. It's all in the Bible. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit have called us by name and shown us that we are loved.Related
