A debate about medical interventions is currently going on in my state legislature. The hearing on the bill was truly heartbreaking. Your heart goes out to the families, many of whom are confused and upset--there expectations have been turned upside down. I must say, though, that the advocates do themselves no favors, and their supporters on the committee resorted to personal attacks against one witness who calmly and cogently dismantled the popular notions about suicide rates, etc., with, uh, facts. But, such attacks are all they have, perhaps because deep down they know they could be wrong about all of this. Thanks--keep up with this reporting.
Problem in Nebraska is that the minority can block any bill. Love the crying by the Dems that their bills aren't being heard -- while they continue to support filibuster. Crazy.
A debate is going on in our state legislature also, with leading proponent legislator a bisexual/queer woman with a trans 12-year old son. What a coincidence. (By the way, she stated that the cost of transitioning approaches $7,000 a month and she wants Medicaid (us) to pay for it. Is that a lifetime cost?????)
Yes, and the lifetime risk of cancer, stroke, diabetes etc is also sky high so you can add in the costs for all of the chronic conditions those $7,000/month therapies cause as well. Plus a lifetime of surgeries.
Children who are medically transitioned become permanent medical patients.
"I am leashed to a medical provider. The best I can do is pick who holds the leash. The children who are being transitioned are being put on to a leash. They are typically starting the process with healthy bodies. But then our bodies are deliberately damaged. Why? For aesthetics. I'm unusual in that I'm vocal about my criticism of the system. I have heard from so many trans people that they would like to say something, but they are terrified that the people who hold their leashes will jerk on the reins.
Planned Parenthood is one of the most generous of the leash-holders. "
Why do we need hearings and "expert" testimony to determine that this is patent lunacy? What's next, a legislative inquiry to determine if the sun will rise in the East tomorrow?

And they have filibustering like that nutter senator in Nebraska who is thoroughly indoctrinated. Hopefully, others won't cave.

Yes! Can you imagine admitting to yourself that you have let your child be experimented on and harmed?
There's no money to be made in watchful waiting.

They don't know if it's a lifetime cost because there aren't any studies on that.
But the answer is most likely yes, those people will have enormous medical bills for their entire lives and want other people to pay for it.
We do lack studies.
But, I recommend transsexual author Corinna Cohn :

The side effects of the hormone treatment and the surgeries suggest huge health care cost as the patient ages.

We need to have Theaters of Experts now because politicians, judges, etc today can no longer even answer basic scientific question like "What is a woman?" https://twitter.com/OzraeliAvi/status/1642760563548913664?s=20
A joke, but it shows the unifying goal of the progressive crusades- to force people to deny reality in favor of the rulers' pronouncements.
We can alter the climate
We can change men into women
We can produce full equity among all people
We can reduce or eliminate crime by reducing policing in favor of social projects
We are in Orwell territory here. Progressives want everyone to believe that 2 +2 = 5. Then their power will be absolute.
"We can alter the climate"
Actually we know we can alter the climate.
Haven’t you heard? 2 + 2 = 4 is racist now.
