Alliances can be fragile and it’s best that, as this bill goes, we stick to the small scope program in order to establish the greater goal. As an aside, we have already seen Scott several times pigeonhole this bill into trans ideology with glowing Pro trans language, aside from GAT in kids. Again, I think he’s a loose cannon. However , Fred, you know him better than anyone and I trust your judgment in getting this bill passed into law.

I was recruited heavily by the Transsexual Global Alliance and I've largely ignored them.

Even worse, they pitch themselves as the real deal, the true transsexuals that had to transition. People like me they claim have sexual paraphilias and fetishes, while they were born in the wrong body. So I encourage all of you to not buy into this Trojan Horse ploy, because the actions of these folks "identifying" as the opposite sex is contributing immensely to the harm being done to females. It's part of our fight, in fact. Walt Heyer is proof that no matter how far you've gone medically, you can still turn back. So unless they've taken formal steps to reclaim their birth sex and denounce gender ideology, please don't endorse or indulge these persons.

I, we understand that we have a transgender person on our panel. Our opinions don't have anything to do with being against the transgender community. We have dozens of transgender adults supporting us because they understand the severity of medical transitioning. What we are saying is that NO ONE has the right to chose to be locked into the medical system, have less than 100% healthy bodies and decide to put themselves there for life than an adult about their own lives. Here's how this should be addressed. Even if you can somehow justify the "trans" medical treatments for consenting adults, it's medical malpractice to indulge the delusion that the person has a gender identity and "affirm" that false identity in your words and actions. I wrested with: Do I want to say it behind Scott's back or in her face?" Am I correct that Scott is an FTM? And I decided if I wasn't willing to say it in Scott's face, I shouldn't say it at all. Scott can be dropped with a simple explanation that endorsing Scott's gender ideology has negative effects on females, example sports, etc. Again, the ACLU and the AMA are gonna testify that building Scott at a young age is better and healthier, spares the surgeries and produces a better cosmetic product.
