@thendrix Imagine being led into transitioning at 16 by your insane parents, and by the time you can legally legally sue at 18, the statute of limitations is over, and you're left holding the bags for the rest of your life for the bill of goods your parents were sold.
I feel really bad for trans people. They're actually very oppressed, just from the opposite direction to what the narrative is.
I remember commenting on the bill before it passed, and it’s basically a death nail to the surgery mill for people that want to get rich quick and move to another state after a few years.
In Missouri transgender surgery for minors was essentially ended with a simple change:
Extending the statute of limitations for suing for malpractice for minors undergoing gender-affirming care, from 2 years to
> within fifteen years of the individual injured attaining the age of twenty-one or of the date the treatment of the injury at issue in the action by the defendant has ceased, whichever is later.
(Lindsay got the numbers a bit wrong, but still in the ballpark. I autistically went and found the bill itself to verify (https://www.senate.mo.gov/23info/pdf-bill/tat/SB49.pdf). He incorrectly said 20 years after reaching 20 years old. I think other states doing similar legislation might be like that)
This is an amazing idea. It really calls their bluff about it being real medicine instead of a political zeitgeist designed to abuse trans people by leaving them holding the bags for the decision pushed on them without informed consent.
