  1. Good for you Texas. Finally some state stood up to this BS. These kids should be allowed to grow up until their 18 years old than they can do whatever they want. This is going to prevent kids from coming back when they are older, asking why they were allow to do this to themselves.

  2. What? so, our taxes must pay for the choices others make? no fckng way

  3. Thank goodness now the poor little confused children will be safe

  4. To all those wondering: this is not about surgery. This is specifically about puberty blockers (which prevent further development until they are stopped) and hormones (which are largely reversible and often sufficient until one is of age)

  5. You can’t get a tattoo until you are 18 because it’s permanent.

  6. Sad day in history for our youth.

  7. what came first, the two people who love each other, or the person who hates them for it? but, for a child to body dysmorphia in a very concerning meme/hate generation.

  8. "gender affirming care" yea I would not call this bs "health care" it abuse and grooming children

  9. Unconstitutional. Sociopath pattern lack of empathy murderous. Utterly contractually married to condemnations of both children and youths, and adults, resulting in deaths. Some would say this law is quite literally a contract with the devil, and endorced and signed by name by texas religious and political leaders. Yes some would see this as a clear public announcement of texas religious and political leaders literally publicly contracting with the devil, and that they literally even signed their names to it.. I can't wait to read up on the conspiracy theories. They might even actually even be right this time? Even if otherwise most often very imaginative fiction. "THEY SIGNED THEIR SOULS OVER TO THE DEVIL"? "They simultaneously Treasoned against and betrayed their oaths to the constitution of the United States of America while also commiting high treason against and betraying the kingdom of God"? "For, they are of, THE MOST FOUL and with the baptism of conspiring in and with THE MOST FOUL, they, have become, THE SEEED, OF THE MOST FOUL!"? "TO BE CONTINUED"? So, what do you think? Did they indeed contract with, "THE MOST FOUL!"? Are, they, the sons, OF THE DEVIL, or did they act as married by law to the condemnations and works of the devil, righteously? What say you, those who see of the conspirings? Or are religious conspiracy theories only can oppose Democrats? I'm a political independent, myself. Sorry if you find such an element confusing/such a twist in the story (Some think you can only be on the democrat side of republican side. Actually it's not half the country is democrat and the other half is Republican. It's more Ike half the country is democrat or Republican and the other half are not party affiliated.). Such is not my intention at in it, to be confusing. Perhaps you just wanted something more predictable?

  10. Go ahead and perform all these trans surgeries so that there is no way they can biologically produce children. They will be the last of their generation to pass the trans confusion gene along.

  11. Unless they're pedophilies, why would democrats and the liberal media object to getting these kids mental help before having their bodies mutiliated?

  12. Oh, yeah….so much for parent rights, patient Dr. confidentiality, and rights of self determination. And yet….. lets abolish child labor protection laws and the state allow 1😂4 y/o to work in slaughter houses, meat packing plants, and other dangerous and terrible jobs…. ehlll lts put them to work in the fields.

  13. Stop this nonsense. Leave children alone. Let them grow into whatever they want. They can decide as an adult if they need to change their gender. Good for Texas.

  14. Needs to be banned for all ages from all places

  15. If a physician or psychotherapist is talking about a nonbinary identity, which is not rooted in biology, one must question his/her ability to be objective.

  16. That statistic about suicide doesnt appear to be supported by any research. What is the evidence?

  17. Glad they followed Putin on this issue.
