GOP senator introduces bill to legally erase transgender people - sh.itjust.works

cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/17202407 [https://beehaw.org/post/17202407] > Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced a bill this week to legally erase transgender people, entitled the “Defining Male and Female Act of 2024.” He claimed that the bill will stop what he called the Biden administration’s attempt to “replace biological sex with dangerous radical gender ideology.” > > The bill is a long list of terms and definitions, where words like “father” and “girl” are defined with the words “male” and “female.” Those two words are then defined as “an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for a congenital anomaly or intentional or unintentional disruption, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports and utilizes [sperm or eggs for male or female, respectively] for fertilization.”

That’s a net positive.
Depends on the other side effects
I fit into that range. I couldn’t take the nausea when I laid down to sleep. Didn’t matter if it was a plate of roasted brussel sprouts or fried chicken. Ate early and had some pepto bismol 4 or 5 nights a week for dessert.
The article seems to hint st the fact that patients regain weight because they start eating unhealthy again once they stop taking the drug. I don’t think that’s a surprise to anyone. Calories in - calories out = weight change. The simple, yet not easy, solution is to change your habits while using the drug.

The protocols likely need to be adjusted for longer titration down or maintenance.

Just because you’ve lost the weight doesn’t mean your body is ready to be without it. Depleted fat cells want to be nurished until they are recycled. I think for some the hormones never return to normal.
