Tn. Senator defends ban on gender affirming care, days later pissed himself while being arrested

State Sen. Ken Yager, a co-sponsor of Tennessee SB1, the law now in front of the Supreme Court, defended the ban on gender-affirming care in an opinion piece. Days later Yager pissed himself while failing a sobriety test and was arrested for DWI, hit and run, and running a stop sign, according to WVLT News 8.

Yager's opinion appearing in the Tennessean "TN law bans trans children from gender-affirming care. SCOTUS must uphold that", is filled with imagery of protesters demanding an end to "child mutilation". In the article, he purports that his bill protects children too "immature" to make decisions and that he was virtually inundated with messages from constituents complaining of the harm youth gender-affirming care causes.

An opposing opinion published days later sets the record straight that legislators could not produce a single complaint, and trans people have been here since recorded history began. 

No, Senator Yager, it's immoral people like you who drink and drive and leave the scene of an accident without rendering aid who mutilate and kill.

Gender-affirming medical care saves lives.
