How Arkansas Ban On Transition-Related Care Will Affect Minors | NBC News NOW
Agree with Arkansas 💯💯💯 an adult can do with their own body what ever they please but for a kid that just nonsense
Finally, something to like about Arkansas.
Good for them! At least one state is moving in the right direction. Can you imagine the tragedy if a minor transitions or starts to transition then later realizes they made a mistake? Minors don't think and tend to act without thinking, it's a proven fact. This is why minors can't do a lot of things until they're older, permanent disfigurement or taking hormones with permanent effects needs to be one of those things.
YOU CAN NOT BE WHAT YOURE NOT
JUST THE WAY IT IS
BE HAPPY WITH WHO YOU ARE
I think it was justified that he vetoed and that Arkansas overruled that veto.
How many of these children have been deluded into being what they are not by those closest to them? When your 18 and away from home, you must make that decision alone.
I don't believe children or parents should make a decision like this until the child is 18. Children go through a lot of changes and a more mature child may change his/her mind.
Oh talk about discrimination. Sue the state!
This is so wrong!!!
I’m sorry but that is the right thing to do… you must be 18 to make that decision
You mean to say chemical castration for minors is outlawed in Arkansas OMG
