No doctor or parent has a right to subject a child to a life-altering medical experiment with unknown longterm consequences. Without this ban in place, SD will follow what is already happening in other states:
minors who successfully sue in court to obtain this supposedly "life-saving" medical intervention. And when
they grow up with irreversible regret, who will be liable? The state.
This ban is also important to prevent custody battles. We have several parents who have reached out to the
KC because of a former spouse who is intent on medicalizing their child. Finding an attorney to help is
nearly as difficult as finding a therapist. And even when they do, who knows how a judge will rule? Banning
these procedures will take these serious medical decisions away from misinformed judges.
The claim that this is lifesaving medically necessary intervention is the big unchallenged domino that is
driving both the legal and medical scandal. This is an oft-repeated claim with no support and it must be
confronted directly.

The ACLU have done as much as anyone could to make sure it's impossible to define a class of persons under

these laws.

Mike,
Look at the medical claim in that “legal” ACLU quote; it is false on multiple grounds
“no such thing as a medically diagnosable group of trans anybody; we are talking about minors! blockers,
wrong sex hormones and surgical mutilation are never medically necessary in minors!”

"The ACLU of SD said in a statement that it's unconstitutional to single out one group of people and categorically ban all care, no matter how medically

Legal experts have an opinion on that statement?
