Therefore, it’s crucial for us to be able to shield them, encircle them, and welcomed them. And this ( resolution ) will help stop outside influences from trying to invade our country, attacking our citizens, attacking the medical care we receive, attacking the professionals who provide for our mental health care, and attacking the friends and families who love us.

Beth Bourne, with Grandmas for Liberty, spoke out against the decision.
” My major concern, I would say the first thing is the medicalizing of children”, said Bourne. ” We may be giving children mix- intercourse hormones. We ca n’t sterilize them or give them puberty blockers that will sterilize them. We ca n’t give them surgery that will change their sex. So we need to defend our family’s systems. Every kid is great, just as they are”.
