The new law that bans gender-affirming care for minors also mandates that adult patients seeking trans health care sign an informed consent form. It also requires a physician to oversee any health care related to transitioning, and for people to see that doctor in person. Those rules have proven particularly onerous because many people received care from nurse practitioners and used telehealth. The law also made it a crime to violate the new requirements.

Another new law that allows doctors and pharmacists to refuse to treat transgender people further limits their options.

    I sadly don’t have the in depth knowledge to be able to give any sort of meaningful answer without a guiding hand, if you’re really interested in deciphering my takes on the ideal economic model. I agree with the premise that capitalism is unsustainable, I just don’t think “to each according to his needs” is necessarily the right philosophy to have when there is incentive to abuse the system. Human imperfections (namely, greed and lust and envy) have sadly shown the need for something stricter.

    Ask the political compass, and economically I am as far left as can be.
