   The problem isn't trans kids transitioning, getting puberty blockers, etc. That's not actually what the republicans are upset about. They don't care about queer kids or what happens to their bodies.

   The problem is that THEIR kids will go to school with them, and might learn to love and respect them. And they can't have that. They have to make sure their kids don't see trans kids, don't see drag queens. Their kids can't get the wild idea that queer people might be people, and even worse, their kids can't get the idea that they might be loved and supported if they themselves are queer.

   It's not about the trans kids, it's about their own kids being disgusted at their parents' bigotry and accepting people for who they are. The only way to fight the fact that the youth don't support them is to keep them as ignorant as possible.

     Guarantee you not a single one of these people have shed a single tear over the thought of trans kids getting affirming care. It doesn't actually made them sad. They don't actually believe any of this. Oh sure, the hate is real, but they don't actually think of it as harm towards children. They're just upset that kids are living their own queer lives.

     The only way any of these liars would shed tears over this is if their OWN kid was trans, because of how upset they'd be that they couldn't do anything about it. They won't cry when trans kids kill themselves, they won't be worried about irreparable harm then. Because it's all faux concern.

     The dems in the background giving each other extremely sad hugs. The republicans would not be doing this if they lost the vote. Because they don't actually care about any of this.
