Like Fast & Furious X, yesterday’s decision by the Texas Legislature to approve SB 14—a bill banning hormone and puberty-blocking treatments as well as surgeries for transgender children—is just the latest release from a franchise with a winning box office formula.
Call it Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization 2.0: The Saga Continues.
According to The New York Times, “The bill … positions Texas to become the largest state to ban transition medical care for minors.” It would have been nice if the Times had made some key distinctions that the bill’s creators mushed all together in their haste to misrepresent what’s really at stake here. Like the fact that there’s virtually no such thing as surgery for transgender children. Or irreversible transitioning.
