Terrible idea. We’ve arguing for years that unless there’s some sort of state corruption that necessitates it or an overwhelming national interest or a Constititutional provision that mandates it, it’s best to keep the federal government out of it. Laws like these should be decided state by state. Obviously the entire practice of legalized insanity, normalizing mental illness & the abusive mitilation of minors is repulsive & should never be allowed. But the Constitutionall correct place to pass those sorts of laws is on a state level by each of the 50 legislatures. That means that California, New York & Massachusetts will probably keep it legal- that’s their right. However, it also protects the principle that they don’t have the right to come in to Texas, Tennessee & Florida & tell us what to do! 😉
Maybe, maybe not....all the states have murder statutes so the Feds should not have theirs? A state should have the right to declare murder legal? Not that “cut & dried”.

With respect, I would like to invoke this clause from your "exceptions" list. In light of this recently reported Mayo Clinic study, I think we're there.
There is a whole generation of kids now being told that gender is a matter of choice and that it can be changed on a whim. They are getting the message that your teachers are friends who can protect you from parents -- which you didn't choose -- who can't understand what you're going through and won't approve of your transition.
This madness needs to be stopped and one key part of that would be a means to keep medical professionals from being involved. I'd add a strong parental rights clause, too. It IS in the national interest to do so.
