If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

No matter how it's worded, this is absolutely going to be used to prosecute people who provide healthcare to trans minors in good faith.

Trust me, I understand the play here. But Imagine you're just an average cis person and your trans friend sends you that article.

You read it and you're angry. "How can they treat human beings like this??"

So you go read the bill.

Kids can't be taken across state lines for gender affirming medical procedures without the consent of their parents.

"Oh... Erin must not have read it thoroughly. This sounds reasonable to me."

And I know this happens because a political podcaster, who is a very intelligent cis guy who I respect, did exactly this about Don't Say Gay.

We need to tell people -why- these laws are dangerous without falling into our own panic.

We need to point out how they all seem to try to "solve" problems that don't exist, or just scapegoat us.
