Why do all the politicians who back stuff like this look like a thrice-divorced owner of a Cadillac with steer horns on the hood?
Remember, in most states, the legislature is not a full time job… so probably because that’s their day job
Good to know kidnapping is still against the law. What a waste of time.
The article underlines the uselessness of the law very well:
In its latest attack on transgender youth, lawmakers in Tennessee passed a bill to stop the nonexistent problem of adults kidnapping kids and taking them to other states for gender-affirming care.
Emphasis, mine.
The problem is they’re going to say a minor can’t really consent to such procedures (like how a minor can’t consent to sex with creepy old men) and therefore it’s always kidnapping to get gender affirming care
The bill, S.B. 2782, was passed by the Tennesee House of Representatives on Thursday and is on its way to the governor’s desk. It amends a 2023 gender-affirming care ban, adding civil penalties for any adults who aid an unemancipated minor get out-of-state gender-affirming care without their parents’ consent
Still allowed with parents consent in this law.
They’re just banking on all the parents being transphobic enough that nobody can get help from family friends
For now. That’s what I’m saying they’re gonna get rid of.
Probably by saying something like “we don’t see this as a valid medical treatment, it’s outlawed here. Kids can’t consent.”
It’d be like jumping on a plane to rape kids. Sure, the raping kids is out of their jurisdiction. But they can make it “abduction” to get a kid on a plane for it.
You’ll notice, they care more about outlawing and stopping gender affirming care than they do child rape.

Well yeah, they only participate in one of those.
So far in history, we have not seen a peaceful cure for an infestation of conservatism. But, if we work together, we might have one at hand. Conservatives are bigots and should be openly shunned, outcast and marginalized from daily life.
Conservatism is not a protected class. It is perfectly legal to fire someone for being a conservative. It is immoral to employ or keep relationships with bigots. They should be openly treated as the bigots they are and excluded from polite society. And when they act tough and demand a fight, we should absolutely give it to them.
There is no such thing as a “good conservative”.
Conservatism is not a protected class. It is perfectly legal to fire someone for being a conservative.
In that vein would it be legal and Constitutional to pass laws against conservatism? We can for bigotry but that’s just one of their disgusting traits.
Define “against”. It would not be constitutional to legislate against someone for being a member of a political party, as that would be a violation of freedoms of speech and assembly.
Even if it were legal and constitutional somehow I foresee some slight issues when it comes to enforcement and compliance.
ACAB… Also our country has a built in electoral conservative bias. This makes it so much harder to get anything done that is liberal. If Trump gets reelected this year it will not be because the majority of our country supports him. It will be because the majority of the country wants it.
Seems like this will become a legal bludgeon when one parent supports gender affirming care, but the other does not.
one parent
supports gender affirming careisn’t a hateful and/or ignorant bigot, but the otherdoes notis.Fixed it for you.
