@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.
@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.
