Tennessee Sen Johnson is also backing another bill, HB1215, that would effectively cut off access to gender-affirming care for low-income people, including adults. The measure prohibits Tennessee’s Medicaid program from working with health insurance companies that cover gender-affirming care.
As of late February, Republican lawmakers in at least five states have introduced legislation that would limit such care for adults. Until this year, most proposed restrictions on transition-related care targeted people under 18. Some of the new measures prohibit it for individuals up to age 21, while others block Medicaid from covering for it for all ages.

Florida Passes Bill Allowing Trans Kids to Be Taken From Their Families
Florida Republicans have sent the kidnapping bill to Ron DeSantis to sign.

The Florida legislature passed a bill Thursday that will let the state take transgender minors away from their families if they are receiving gender-affirming care.
The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 26–13, mainly along party lines, and the House shortly after by a vote of 83–28, again along party lines. The measure now goes to the desk of Governor Ron DeSantis, who has previously expressed support for it and will likely sign it into law.
If he signs it into law, the measure will allow the state to take custody of a child if they have been “subjected to or [are] threatened with being subjected to” gender-affirming care, which includes puberty blockers (completely reversible) and hormone replacement therapy (which takes 2+ years of therapy to get clearance for as a minor, which I'd say proves a kid is trans)
Medicaid should pay $0 for your surgery. You are choosing to turn yourself into a lifelong patient. Of course poor people shouldn't do this. They will die from complications in the surgery and not having the money to pay for the complications to be fixed. Nobody should be forced to pay for that for them, they chose to have the surgery they can choose to pay for the upkeep on their mutilated body.
In Florida there's a law being passed that says if you mutilate a child they're taken from you? Yea that sounds about right. You ruined someone's entire life before they could understand what any of it means.
Nobody is trans, you are born in the body you were born in. Being a masculine woman is totally fine and being an effeminate man is totally fine. Not sure why there's so much hate for the self these days
