Arkansas Republicans just would rather get in these kids' pants, and check their junk, regardless of whether or not the kids claimed to be trans.

It's all biology. We might not yet understand the complex processes, or hormone changes, or natural chemical exposures, but the heterosexual and LGBTQI spectrum is biological, not mental. If you want trans kids to make their own adult choices, fine. Let them have sex hormone blocker drugs until they're 18. Then let them have the puberty of their choice.

Yeah, but the conservative side is actually hurting real people. I have a trans person in my life and I'm terrified for them. People are calling gender affirming care mutilation. It's making everything worse.

I know that my biggest concern with my pre-tween daughter is whether her soccer teammates are "biologically boys". Oops, sorry, ... I'm more worried about carpools that can't safely exist anymore & all of the stinky uniform laundry. I literally don't give a fuck if one of the people on the field with her was born biologically male. Who has the time to give a shit about this in the real world?! Honestly, who has the bandwidth to challenge who is or is not a girl or boy?! Go volunteer at an animal shelter or something. You have too much time on your hands...
