Letter: 'It is not caring and loving to deny care to anyone when you have no expertise whatsoever to do so. And when it’s just none of your business.'

If the Legislature is really concerned about preventing harm from unproven or medically questionable practices, then they should move against the nutriceuticals industry, but they don’t. That industry has nothing to do with gender identity, after all, so it’s no holds barred.

A Legislature singling out a segment of our population for harmful and abusive medical care restrictions cannot be constitutional, either. It’s like outlawing knee surgery, but only for people who ski. Constitutional legislation has to apply equally and without bias. The folks promoting this legislation claim to be caring and loving, but “they have made different conclusions about how to act that way.” I call BS. It is not caring and loving to deny care to anyone when you have no expertise whatsoever to do so. And when it’s just none of your business. This isn’t loving and caring; it’s demeaning, isolating, and hurtful.
