Legislation vetoed by Gov. Roy Cooper to protect minors from permanent life-altering gender transitions faces a likely override when Republican supermajorities in the General Assembly return next week.
The anticipated approval of House Bill 808 over the Democratic governor’s objections would ban medical professionals in North Carolina from performing gender transition surgeries or prescribing puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones to minors, mirroring legislation adopted in 20 other states.
North Carolina Democrats opposed to the ban have already warned the legislation is expected to face legal challenges, a concern that has went largely unaddressed publicly by Republican bill sponsors and legislative leaders.
Pending legal challenges are in multiple states.
Federal courts in Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana and Florida have blocked similar bans on gender transitions for minors amid ongoing court battles, while Republican Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond agreed to stay enforcement of the same pending a legal challenge from the American Civil Liberties Union.
Federal judges in Kentucky and Tennessee last week also enjoined laws against transitions for minors from taking effect while lawsuits challenging the bans proceed.

Why do you think they are trying to ram this crap through without any actual debate?
Why have liberals decided that transgender surgery is something that they support?
How do liberals decide what the liberal view of any issue is?
For example , in 1996 Congress, overwhelmingly approved the Defense of Marriage Act. To go back and review the vote on that legislation you would be surprised at how many liberal Democrats voted for traditional marriage in that legislation.
But then somewhere along the ways liberals decided they supported homosexual marriage instead of being opposed to it.
Nowadays the liberal view is that we should do life-altering surgeries and what is euphemistically called gender-affirming care.
Years ago ,there were also some pro-life Democrats. I know nowadays it’s an Article of Faith that to be a good Democrat you must favor abortion.
Just wondering Thinking Out Loud, who decides what the liberal view of something is , and why do so many liberals adopt the group think on the issues.
