Texas bill would ban nearly all gender-affirming care, including for trans adults

As a Texas born Woman I'm on the fence about this one. On one hand I'm glad they are doing something about it all. Doing something is definitely better than nothing! On the other hand this feels a bit like an overreaction... Assuming that CBS Is not lying or exaggerating the situation. 🤔

I feel like adults should be able to transition with certain checks and balances in place of course! The situation with Michelle Zacchigna is living proof that not all adults should be transitioned and need different care.

What do you ask think? Also is CBS a reliable truthful news source? If not is there a better news source that covers this story?

CBS is not reliable or trustworthy as a news source IMO. That article interviews and quotes only advocacy organizations and individuals, and relays their worst. most apocalyptic, fears without question or qualification. Banning mastectomies or hysterectomies for cancer patients? I doubt it. "Lawmakers are playing politics with the very lives of transgender people in our state... The mental health toll and harm that even debating this bill would cause is catastrophic." Sure.

I don't understand what "gender affirming care" means if it isn't experimental drugs and surgery.
