Good point.. it is a sad day when we deprive LGBTQ people of care.. and inadequate care..Be happy if you do not live in one of those prejudice backward states that are no denying gender affirming care to kids..a close friend has gone through it..and it is tough enough withut this garbage.. thank you for bringing it up..
