Ron thinks, "there is no law allowing children to be prescribed Puberty Blocking Medications without parents being informed. If there is I will go to the school and let them know I am angry and against it."

Shane says, "I will put up $1000 against your $100 there is such laws (Gender Affirming Care)." 

SB 5889, the bill pushed by Washington Democrats, forces insurers to cover gender dysmorphia treatment for minors. It also forces insurers to cover “gender-affirming care” for minors, without parental consent.

According to the law, all communication regarding such “care” and medical procedures must be directly with the patient, thus bypassing parents.

Democrats in Washington state proudly denounced the bill’s detractors as hateful bigots.

The bill’s sponsor, Democratic State Senator Marko Liias, argued that other states that banned minors from getting gender reassignment surgeries are “transphobic.”

He also emphasized his joy at beholding the victory of tolerance over mass trans-hysteria.

“I am proud that our state is sort of standing up to this hysteria sweeping the country of intolerance and hatred of trans people,” Liias said. “We are going the opposite direction saying that, here, people are welcome and we support them.”

Liias also suggested that no child should ever be denied medical care that they wish to receive for any reason.

“There is not a short or simple answer on what care is appropriate for which individuals,” he said. “In short, I support the ability of all trans people to access medically necessary care.”
