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

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.

Proponents of Louisiana’s failed bill, which would have prohibited hormone treatments, gender-affirming surgery or puberty-blocking drugs for any transgender minor, say they fear that the state could draw minors from surrounding states — where there are bans — seeking gender-affirming health care. Those in Louisiana’s LGBTQ+ community say gender-affirming care in the state is not as easily accessible as conservatives make it seem.

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.

Pizzagate is real. It’s now being franchised outside the Beltway.

I am so sick of that euphemism gender affirming. Call it what it is. Mutilation and castration.

“Gender affirming care” = surgical mutilation of primary and secondary sexual characteristics of the two sexes, as well as chemical castration of young males and chemical spaying of young females.

Do NOT let these monsters control the narrative with language. This is Dr. Mengele level horrors.

I guess the phrase "steers and queers" has a new meaning. BTW, I
don't think a steer feels like he has had "gender affirming care".

Once again the MSM is also at fault twisting the meaning of words, like “gender affirming.”

We have “XX” and “XY” for that. It’s not complicated as one cannot change their sex no matter what drugs or body parts chopped off or added.

The Louisiana legislature has a veto proof majority. They will never, ever use it. There is always a fool, of whatever type, popping up.

We're all sick of 'the press' using the left's manipulative euphemisms..

Call it what it is: It's mutilation, castration and and sterilization. These young people are making a decisions that for rest of their lives they will never have children. Josef Mengele would be so proud of the mutilators...

This in a southern state; a red state.

Florida is so fortunate to have a governor that can inspire the Republican legislature to do great things.

In the past the Florida legislature has wandered all over the place, too timid to push back against evil. One strong leader can make a difference.

The media wordgames are truly nauseating. Shouldn’t “affirming” the victim’s original involve keeping it? Orwell exposed this “Lies are Truth” game ages ago; the crooks need to be called out on this every time.

Thank you for referencing that article SeafoodGumbo.

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


Couldn't find definition of a committee in Louisiana constitution, correction welcome. I would have expected all members of a Louisiana House to have participated in a vote that can kill a bill.

So is this committee vote possibly intended to hide RINOs in Louisiana legislature?

“Florida is so fortunate to have a governor that can inspire the Republican legislature to do great things.”

In other words, the Republican legislators have no individual convictions and have to be guided to do the right thing by the DeSantis force of nature, the 8th day creation.

He’s okay with Satanist child mutilation, apparently. Doesn’t get worse than that.
