"We have to take one bite at a time, do it incrementally."

Republican lawmakers from Ohio and Michigan admitted on social media that the "endgame" of their efforts at restricting access to gender-affirming care is to ban such care for adults as well as minors.

Michigan state Rep. Brad Paquette (R) hosted the X Spaces meeting Friday, which brought together several Michigan state senators and representatives and Ohio Rep. Gary Click (R) to discuss policy around gender-affirming care for minors with detransitioner and anti-trans activist Prisha Mosley.

While much of the hour-long conversation focused on transgender young people, towards the end, Michigan state Rep. Josh Schriver (R) pivoted to adults.

"My whole thing is, in terms of endgame, why are we allowing these practices for anyone?" Schriver asked. "Why would we stop this for anyone under 18, but not apply this for anyone over 18? It's harmful across the board, and I think that's something that we need to take into consideration in terms of the endgame."

Contrary to what Schriver said, every major medical organization in the U.S. has recognized that gender-affirming healthcare is evidence-based, safe, effective, and can be medically necessary to treat gender dysphoria.......

I guess listen to the science only applies if you like the science. Once a slippery slope is initiated, it's hard to get out. What ever happened to pursuit of happiness and adults making their own decisions?
