Christians can’t just ban people from mutilating the genitals of children.
This isn’t their country.
America is Satan World.
An Alabama law that makes it a felony to provide gender-affirming medical treatment to transgender youth went into effect on Sunday while a federal judge weighs whether to grant a motion to put a temporary hold on it.
The legislation makes it a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison to provide puberty blockers, hormones and medical procedures to transgender youth under 19.
Governor Kay Ivey had signed the bill on April 8. A similar but not as far-reaching law in Arkansas was blocked by the courts last year before it could go into effect.
After a two-day hearing concluded on Friday, U.S. District Judge Liles Burke gave no indication on when he will rule on the motion seeking to temporarily halt enforcement of the ban while a lawsuit is pending, according to local media reports.
The lawsuit, brought by organizations including the Human Rights Campaign and GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders, argues the ban would cause “immediate and irreparable” harm to the plaintiffs and that the measure violates several of their constitutional rights.
The groups filed the lawsuit on behalf of parents of four Alabama transgender youth, two physicians and a minister. The U.S. Department of Justice has joined the case, saying the Alabama law “violated the equal protection clause” of the U.S. Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment.
Mainstream medical and mental health professionals say gender-affirming care saves lives by reducing the already high risk of depression and suicide among trans youth.
That isn’t even an exaggeration, really. It is literally the mainstream view in America that children should have their genitals mutilated if they become convinced they are trapped in the body of the opposite sex.
As we’ve said many a time, there is no explanation for what it means to be trapped in the body of the opposite sex. It is some kind of soul displacement. No one has explained who is responsible for putting these souls into the wrong bodies. It must be some kind of an entity doing this – a kind of trickster creature operating in the ethereal realms.
It seems the logical thing would be to find a way to fight this entity and get it to stop switching these souls around. That seems much cheaper and more practical than mutilating all these kids. But the mainstream medical professionals refuse to even describe the nature of this entity, let alone put together a plan to fight it.
