Looks like they have some adults in charge there - from Associated Press:
Trans youth care ban headed to Tennessee governor’s desk
Transgender youth in Tennessee would be banned from receiving gender-affirming care under legislation currently headed to the desk of Republican Gov. Bill Lee, who has voiced support for the bill.
House lawmakers voted 77-16 on Thursday, with three Democrats joining their Republican colleagues to pass the bill.
“These children do not need these medical procedures to be able to flourish as adults,” said House Majority Leader William Lamberth. “They need mental health treatment. They need love and support, and many of them need to be able to grow up to become the individuals that they were intended to be.”
And of course, the trained monkeys have this to say:
Civil rights groups have vowed an immediate lawsuit if and when the bill becomes law — setting up the potential for a lengthy legal battle over the coming months.
And it looks like Tennesee voters know that 16 members of their State House need to be voted out of office.
