Republican Rep. Wes Allen of Troy, sponsor of the House version of the bill, argued during debate Thursday morning that transgender youth are not old enough to make decisions about gender-affirming medication.
“You’re saying this is about children. It’s not. What it is about is scoring political points and using those children as collateral damage,” England said. “I want the governor to know that she doesn’t have to sign this, she can veto it,” Jeff Walker, whose 15-year-old daughter, Harleigh, is transgender, said Thursday afternoon. “All you are doing is hurting Alabama families with these bills.”
Senators voted 26-5 to approve legislation mandating that K-12 students can only use multiperson bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond with the gender on their original birth certificate, rather than their current gender identity.
It seems like Alabama are acting like they belong to the human race. Good to know that they at least have the common sense to know that drugs that are shown to damage the brain shouldn’t be given to people who’s brains are literally still physically developing. Good job on that.
DECISIONS ABOUT GENDER IDENTITY, WHEN IT COMES TO TRANS KIDS, SHOULD BE MADE BY THE KID, THEIR PARENTS AND THEIR MEDICAL DOCTOR AND MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. NOT BY POLITICIANS PANDERING TO AN INGNORANT AND OFTEN BIGOTED VOTER BASE.
Isn’t this the same group that cried about losing their freedom over a mask? That it was their right not to wear one?
This may be the first logical thing to ever come from Alabama lawmakers.
Just leave it all too the street, you might get a reality education there without all the BS. Short on facts but not a lot of lies.
Cruelty for things they can’t understand and won’t except. Make others uncomfortable and suffer just to make them comfortable. Pathetic.
There are lawmakers in Alabama?
