We are up to five states as of this morning that would take trans kids from parents if they get gender affirming care.

Weaponization of child services against trans kids is obscene and would increase suicide dramatically.

Five State Bills Would Take Trans Kids From Parents And Charge With Child Abuse

In the wake of gender affirming healthcare bans that are spreading across red states, an even more inhumane bill has begun to take root - bills that charge parents with child abuse for trans care.

Wyoming would issue 10 year felony prison sentences for gender affirming care as "child abuse." Wyoming has accessory laws where if a parent brings their child to a doctor to get this care, they could be charged as well with the same penalty. See bill# SF0111

Mississippi HB456 would define transgender youth receiving gender affirming care as abused. It specifically singles parents out for "consenting to" it.

Texas, Missouri, and Indiana all have seen similar bills proposed. I expect we will see even more such bills in coming days.

Trans youth on gender affirming care have a 73% lower risk of suicidality according to a JAMA study.

In foster care, they have a 3-5x increased risk.

If these bills are passed, families would be torn apart entirely. They would carry with them a death toll.

We have already seen Texas begin enforcing older child abuse provisions against the families of trans youth.

We must stand up against these bills.

@ErinInTheMorn should remind everyone who still treats liz cheney as some sort of hero; this is exactly the kind of Wyoming that she fought/fights for, too and now has bigger aspirations.

@ErinInTheMorn I suspect we are headed towards 1970 style resistance movements. Because there is only so much people can take from these fascist legislatures and I know what side I will be on

@ErinInTheMorn I just wished this would be recognized as the #democide tactic it truly is and have more states and nations see this as a valid reason to grant asylum.

So far, @[email protected] / @AuswaertigesAmt has been totally silent on that front and I'm not shure if it's ignorance, cowardice or hostility.

@ErinInTheMorn do these bills protect adults? While I understand the most recent under 26 ban was only charging doctors. I am wondering if they ever went after the trans person them selves are they legally protected or would additional legislation have to be passed.
