The new law that bans gender-affirming care for minors also mandates that adult patients seeking trans health care sign an informed consent form. It also requires a physician to oversee any health care related to transitioning, and for people to see that doctor in person. Those rules have proven particularly onerous because many people received care from nurse practitioners and used telehealth. The law also made it a crime to violate the new requirements.

Another new law that allows doctors and pharmacists to refuse to treat transgender people further limits their options.

    The Satanic Temple made pretty good progress fighting state sponsored bullying and indoctorination by using that exact tactic

    Oh you want to distribute bible materials at a public school? Well you also have to distribute our Satanic Temple’s materials too because you have to consider us equally. Oh gosh darn you’ve suddenly decided you don’t need to distribute religious materials anymore, I guess students won’t be receiving religious materials to indoctorinate them in either the Satanic Temple or the Church now

      A lot of their stuff has to do with the separation of church and state, not specifically using the bible to point out republican hypocrisy

      TST has made no progress in any way, but they’re very loud because they want you to give money to them instead of actual trans healthcare organizations.
