evidence: This so-called ``gender-affirming care'' is anything but affirming and caring, and the language matters. This is adults deciding to permanently alter the bodies of children who do not have the capacity to make life-altering decisions on their own. [...] She is right. Banning access to gender-affirming care would violate parents' due process rights, and the Federal Courts agree. They agree that banning gender-affirming care for minors violates Constitutionally protected parental rights, and that politicians should stay out of those decisions. [...] We have also heard conservative lawmakers and activists argue that bans on gender-affirming care are necessary to protect minors with many labeling gender-affirming treatments experimental. As we have seen here today repeatedly deliberately confusing gender-affirming care with gender transition surgery. Can you speak to that issue?
