  1. Leave the kids alone!

  2. Thank goodness we have people that will stand up for LGBTQ kids

  3. God is coming! this is not about mental health!! That was a complete lie about helping their mental health after "mutilation" surgery!! I dare you to take my Daughter from me, this is a complete act of war against parents!!!!!

  4. Leave the kids Alone🖕

  5. Leftist marxism had crept into every facet of our society. Not even judges are safe from the ideology. You’d think I’d be used to it by now but it’s still shocking to me.

  6. A state judge can't over rule a federal judge people need to do a peaceful protest in front of the judges house since the Democrats are allowed to do it

  7. Juveniles do not have constitutional rights until they are of legal adult age.
    under legal aged people are dependants under guardianship of their parents, Or legal guardian(s). The legal guardian is responsable for the minor's choices of actions made. This judge, Is trying to emancipate all under aged minors, thruogh a back door – Via magistrative reenterpitation of who has constitutional rights. a constitutional amedment will need to be writen into the constution giving juviniles constitutional right; Just like women rights, etc… were .

  8. Gender afirming care for trans minors creates more gender dysphoria the opposite of mental health

  9. Sarah ain't sleeping ! We'll see what happens but I doubt this Judges ruling stands !

  10. It is the time Muslim and Christian united to save the WORLD

  11. How sad! So children will continue to mutilate their bodies! Pure evil to allow a person under 18 to use puberty blocking hormones, surgical removal of reproductive parts, etc. So many of the people who decide to be trans later deeply regret their decisions but then it is too late for them to have biological children. The mainstream media lies, many, many "trans" regret their youthful decisions. Pure evil to mutiliate children's bodies.

  12. OH no!! They went too far and banned the mutilation of children? Those monsters!

  13. WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN LIKE . . . TREASON MAYBE! republican values!

  14. It’s so sad how weaponized “leave the kids alone” is….how have we gotten to the point where there is an entire group of the population who is for genetic mutilation of children?

  15. Needs appeal. ACTUAL STUDIES show, along with whistleblowers, have said it DOES NOT help children's mental health, but harms it!

  16. What a bunch of sickos !!!!! I'd fire / vote all of them out of office

  17. Trans is false,the judge needs disbarred.

  18. If a child identifies as a pirate, can a parent mutilate their kids body to accommodate the peg leg and hook hand?

  19. Hurting kids bodies isn’t care

  20. As an atheist everytime I'm inclined to start believing in a one true godly power… Something like this happens…. And I'm sat back in my atheist chair…

  21. Hey NBC if you feel so strongly about this, how about you take your own kids and do this to them.

  22. It is time everyone to go back where he come from, I come from sh+++t hole County and Iam happy to go and save my kids good luck God save people of religion

  23. There is no surgery on minors! It’s just seeing a psychiatrist. These laws do stop surgery on babies born with both types of genitalia. Intersex. Banning puberty blockers forces five year olds to get periods. There’s an epidemic of extremely early puberty in American girls.

  24. It will be appealed again don't worry
