But not protecting the innocence of intersex children

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) introduced a bill Friday that would make providing gender-affirming medical care to transgender minors a felony, punishable by up to 25 years in prison.

Greene’s “Protect Children’s Innocence Act” outlaws more than a dozen medical interventions and procedures used to treat gender dysphoria in transgender young people, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy and certain kinds of surgeries done “for the purpose of changing the body of such individual to correspond to a sex that differs from their biological sex.”

The measure would also prohibit using federal funds for gender-affirming health care, including in Affordable Healthcare Act plans.

“When it comes to ‘gender-affirming care,’ which is really child abuse, this is actually an assault and it’s child abuse,” Greene said Thursday evening during an appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

And yet, this protection from assault and child abuse has an interesting exception...

" (B) EXCEPTION .—Subparagraph (A)
shall not apply to the following individuals:
‘(i) An individual with both ovarian
and testicular tissue."




So it's OK to assault, it's OK to abuse children merely because they have "both ovarian and testicular tissue"?

Is their innocence not worth as much?

child abuse.

Most intersex children have a perfectly functional body, and third parties (the parents and the doctors) are deciding their gender without any possibilty of consulting them about their wishes, and permanently removing their ability to decide when or if they need non-medically necessary surgery to alter their appearance.

Nazi thugs like Gangreene think they should be the ones to decide everyone's gender for them - whether it's deciding for intersex children by proceeding with surgery, or forcing trans people to remain the gender (wrongly) assigned at birth. This is just more of the "party of freedumbs!" stomping all over ours, and going out of their way to create the maximum amount of cruelty for others.

This bill is child abuse. Emptyhead Greene is child abuse.

If it all.

Still, does she think people will go along with cruelty?

If they cared about any kids - cishet or LGBTQ - the likes of Groper Don The Con and Pedo Gaetz and other creeps of the Groomer Ol' Party would be in prison for the harm they've done to minors over the years. But they don't care, and it never was nor will be about that.

This is just about hurting children - especially ones they don't like. Because Gangreene is a nasty Twitter troll and walking scarecrow who lives for attention and cruelty. She's also a childish little bitch and it's "children" like her she's trying to protect because trans people make her meltdown.

Fuck this bitch and her fucking bigotry.
