UnfairRepresent 08/03/23 4:39:26 AM #1:	One of Louisianas few doctors specializing in pediatric heart conditions is leaving the state after the Legislature passed a variety of bills aimed at restricting rights for LGBTQ people. Dr. Jake Kleinmahon works at Ochsner Hospital for Children in New Orleans as the medical director of the hospitals pediatric heart transplant, heart failure and ventricular assist device programs. He is just one of three doctors in the state with that specialization, he told WDSU, an NBC affiliate in New Orleans. Kleinmahon, who is gay, told WDSU that he and his husband had planned to retire in New Orleans, but he now feels like the anti-LGBTQ legislation passed by the Legislature has made the state a hostile place for families like his. In June, state lawmakers passed three bills targeting LGBTQ people. Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, vetoed all three, but last month the Republican-dominated Legislature overturned his veto of a bill that will ban transition-related medical care, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgery, for minors starting Jan. 1, 2024. I think lawmakers need to understand the ramifications of the bills they put forward, Kleinmahon told WDSU. He added that his hospital is the only pediatric heart transplant center in the state. The fact that me leaving is going to leave somewhat of a hole for medical care has been quite distressing, he told WDSU. If these discriminatory laws continue, the state of Louisiana is going to lose talent, they are going to lose skilled professionals, and frankly, I dont think the state can afford to. Kleinmahon wrote in a post on Instagram that he moved back to Louisiana five years ago with the goal of building one of the best pediatric heart transplant programs in the country. We have been quite successful, he noted. He doesnt want to leave that behind, but he wrote that he and his husband, Tom, have discussed at length the benefits of continuing to live in the South, as well as the toll that it takes on our family. Because of this, we are leaving Louisiana, he said. Our children come first. We cannot continue to raise them in this environment. He said he has accepted a position as director of pediatric heart transplant, heart failure and ventricular assist devices at Cohen Childrens Medical Center in Long Island, New York, and is planning to move by the end of the month. This is a wonderful new opportunity, but it is incredibly sad to leave our home, our friends, colleagues, and patients and their families, he wrote on Instagram. Kleinmahon is among a growing group of health care professionals, parents, teachers and LGBTQ advocates who have decided to leave their home states in response to laws targeting trans youths, drag performances and LGBTQ topics in schools, among other issues. Families in Texas fled after the state began investigating the parents of trans minors; teachers in Florida left their positions due to the states so-called Dont Say Gay law; and in Columbia, Missouri, a school board member announced in May that she planned to resign and move over the states anti-LGBTQ bills Full article: https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/gay-louisiana-doctor-says-s-leaving-state-discriminatory-legislation-rcna97867 https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/6/6/AAZiH8AAEuES.jpg Dying of heart complications to own the libs..... --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! http://i.imgur.com/yPw05Ob.png <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:975223901] in Gay heart ...

I really dont think its so odd that you should allow your brain to mature a bit before you make a decision to make major body modifications.

We dont let teens drink, smoke, get tattoos and they cant even drive until 16. I see your point though and maybe it needs to have parental consent but only if its thattt important. If they are already on puberty blockers what is the harm in waiting? A) We do let 14 years old work and in some states get married. B) So you do believe the AMA, AAP, and other medical groups are wrong? That it is "odd" for them to believe some treatments may be appropriate before 16? <cite>Ruvan22 posted [p:975226111] in Gay heart ...

The thing that worries me is that as smart and non-bigoted people leave states like that they will get more and more red since the only people staying like those laws I think it's by design tbh Like here in my state of Texas, the state actually IS closer to purple and Republican leadership knows it. All of the insane, backwards-ass laws seem like a deliberate attempt to push liberals and leftists out of the state and secure their states as red strongholds. At the same time, I really can't blame anybody for leaving them for the sake of themselves or their family. The right is becoming more and more emboldened and unhinged and living in these places feel downright dangerous, especially if you're part of one or more marginalized communities. --- I have nothing else to say <cite>RchHomieQuanChi posted [p:975227082] in Gay heart ...
