    Statistic and sensibility vs politically faux outrage

    Republican-controlled committee rejects Louisiana bill to ban gender-affirming care for minors

    BATON ROUGE, La. -- Bucking the trend of other reliably red states adopting restrictions on young transgender people, a Republican-controlled Louisiana legislative committee voted Wednesday to a kill a bill that would have banned gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors.

    The tie-breaking 5-4 vote to kill the bill Wednesday came down to Republican state Sen. Fred Mills, the chairman of the Senate’s Health and Welfare Committee. After nearly three hours of public testimony and debate, Mills joined Democrats in opposition to the legislation.

    “Always in my heart of hearts have I believed that a decision should be made by a patient and a physician. I believe in the physicians in Louisiana,” Mills, a pharmacist, said. “I believe in the scope of practice. I believe in the standard of care.”

    "My decision was really, really based on the numbers," Mills continued. "All the testimony I heard by the proponents that children are getting mutilated, I didn't see it in the statistics."


    According to a report by the Louisiana Department of Health, just a few dozen minors received gender-affirming care, including hormone therapy and puberty blockers, between 2017 and 2021. This data only factored Medicaid-enrolled youths. Additionally, the report found that there have been zero gender-affirming surgeries performed on Medicaid-enrolled minors during that timeframe.

    Currently, children in Louisiana need parental permission to receive any gender-affirming health care before they turn 18.

    Capitalism at work. People want it, the market provides it. This isn't "targeting kids", it's catering to the sensibilities (however warped they may be) of parents with disposable income.

    Yeah except people actually DON'T want it, these companies think people do because the media sticks this stuff in front of our faces every day. It was yet another miscalculation by a corporation catering to the transgender lunacy and being out of touch with the reality that most folks don't care or don't need this stuff in front of them all the time, and that most folks get particularly put off when children are brought into the fold. There's a reason Target's stock has dropped in the last 5 days.

    I'm guessing this stuff sells quite well in certain liberal markets.

    Rage about culture war and agenda pushing all you want, but Target didn't get as big and successful as it did by putting things on their shelves that don't make them profit.

    The media sticks what in your faces?

    I'm confused. I say in within the average level of modern media consumption. I actually don't remember the last "trans" content I was exposed to.

    Maybe you are actively looking for it?
