Maine bill would allow gender-affirming care for out-of-state children

"Democratic state representatives are proposing a bill to expand gender affirming care access in Maine.

The bill would allow Maine to take temporary emergency jurisdiction over children who haven't been able to get gender-affirming care in other states and provide them with those services.

It also would protect healthcare providers in Maine from out-of-state subpoenas surrounding the care.

This comes after state lawmakers gave preliminary approval to another bill that would allow 16- and 17-year-olds to receive gender-affirming care without parental consent."

Shows just how ass-backwards they are. Children don't need gender-affirming care. Why not just let them be children as the gender they were born as, or would that take too much common sense?

@IM5688 Far to much common sense. Little Johnny can't play any sport because he may get hurt, but at age 7 he can have a sex change operation. Nope! That won't lead to any suicides. In California if you don't support your children in gender reassessment the state will take all of your children from you and deem you an unfit parent.
