What people say about it
"Activists are attempting to silence any dissent or questions about these surgeries. And the overwhelming message is that these surgeries in kids are lifesaving care — despite no evidence to support this claim. Now, there is no reasonable expectation of informed consent.
Is it any wonder that more than 20 states have passed laws protecting minors from this procedure?
When even asking a question is an act of defiance, it is the job of the legislature to tell the doctors licensed by virtue of our laws that they have to wait until a patient is 18 to offer this surgery.
To borrow a phrase, it is common sense scalpel control."

“This is not a question of whether or not you're with the trans community. This is a question on whether or not you believe children should be able to get these irreversible surgeries. So, again, despite being a Democrat, despite being a liberal who believes in human rights, I don't think that children should be able to get these irreversible surgeries.
So I'll take all the heat that comes from this. I will be voting for this amendment and for OTPA if it the bill in its original form, I think is too broad. And I won't be voting for OTP, but I will be voting for OTPA if the bill passes and for the amendment if it passes. And I hope all of you on this side of the aisle who definitely believe in human rights, who believe in protecting nondiscrimination, would consider the irreversible surgeries that kids are going to be getting if this bill does not pass."

We need your help to fight and win to protect kids!
The opposition is doubling down with misinformation by saying this is vital care and gaslighting kids, their parents and the public to think these surgeries are safe.
There are no studies on these surgeries. Don't experiment on NH kids!
We must stand together today against what could be the medical atrocity of our time.
