Republican lawmakers introduce bill to put parents who support their trans kids in prison for life

How ugly is the US going to get. Absolutely disgusting! None want to comprehend medical direction and the horrible life the GOP wants to make some kids live until they commit suicide.

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/10/republican-lawmakers-introduces-bill-put-parents-support-trans-kids-prison-life/

A Michigan bill seeks to brand gender-affirming parents and doctors as child abusers and even proposes life in prison as a possible consequence for facilitating gender-affirming care.

H.B. 6454 would amend the penal code to state that child abuse includes when someone “knowingly or intentionally consents to, obtains, or assists with a gender transition procedure for a child.”

The bill includes any hormones or puberty blockers in its definition of “gender-transition procedure.” Puberty blockers are reversible medications that delay the onset of puberty so that trans youth can have more time to explore their gender identities before the permanent effects of puberty occur and they have been shown to decrease lifelong suicide risk for trans people who want them.

Obviously they don’t give a flying fuck. They probably enjoy knowing that those kids suffer the pain.

pain and misery on others. And they always drape their religion over their sociopathic and sadistic goals and activities. They are really sick demented people in so many ways. ... but so many Americans can't or refuse to comprehend what is going on.

They are working to establish a theocracy and they're not going to stop until everyone is forced to adhere to their religious beliefs.
