Surgery is not, and puberty blockers have been shown to be safe and reversible when used correctly. You're also ignoring that they're trying to outlaw any trans-affirming treatment. This literally includes using the child's chosen pronouns, any psychotherapy (which is generally how psychiatrists determine if a child is experiencing gender dysphoria vs "the parents saw their son play with dolls so they're pressuring him to be trans"), and seeks to prosecute anyone who affirms the child's identity as a child abuser.

I dont agree with banning any trans affirming treatment, and Texas goes too far. But I stand by my position that the trans movement is moving too fast in schools and these laws are a backlash to that. Whats wrong with letting parents teach children about controversial issues like gender themselves? Instead teachers are basically encouraging young children to consider whether their gender doesnt match their body.
