Gregory's Server@joelle Hmmm 🤔 Could breast implants be banned under some of these new laws. Some reward people for turning others in? Perhaps this needs to be tested. I'm sure gop men will agree that that is a procedure that involves sexual organs.

 @joelle @travellovewine It pisses me off how few news outlets report this fact. Like, if you only read the reports from major "journalists," you'd think there are specific medical procedures that are "new, dangerous, and untested" that Republicans are banning. But really they are banning old and well-understood treatments ONLY for trans people and explicitly allowing the same treatments for cis people.  @travellovewine many of the laws are written explicitly to make sure it is still legal for 16 year old cis girls to have breast augmentations @joelle |
@travellovewine Unfortunately the ones I’ve seen only apply to trans people. Unnecessary genital surgeries on infants for intersex conditions are fine under these laws, as are cosmetic breast surgeries for non-trans people (including kids — which does happen, as about 5,000 cis people under 18 have breast augmentation a year, and some number [not sure how many] have breast reduction as well). It’s only trans peoples’ medical decisions that are criminalized.
