Louisiana House Reds Overrule Edwards' Veto of Bill Banning Hormone Treatment, Puberty Blockers and Gender Reassignment Surgery of Minors

 

Blues and transgender activists are quick to euphemistically call it gender reassignment care
While Reds when applied to minors condemn it as body mutilation that parents need to beware
In Louisiana with the legislature in control of the Reds but the governor a Blue
A bill banning puberty blockers, hormone treatment and gender reassignment surgery for minors sailed through
Edwards vetoed it and the House overrode his veto to send to the Senate the bill
Where Reds need 26 out their 27 members to the veto kill
The Blues did garner a victory in the transgender wars
HB 81 which would require the use of birth pronouns failed to override by 3 votes to go to Senate floor
We should have empathy for males trapped in a female body and the same in reverse
But for minors more time to consider whether the need to reassign gender is a fad not a lifetime curse
But this is a battle that’s ripping the sports world apart
And causing great fear or concern in school bathrooms those sensitive and weak of heart
