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.
Oh no! So restrictive! Whatever can be done with that onerous ban? It must be genocide!
Another new law that allows doctors and pharmacists to refuse to treat transgender people further limits their options.
Trannies are pretty rare. So there aren't that many specialists that actually want to treat them. If they are allowed online visits, they could find the one nutjob in the world. In-person visits establish that they are seeing someone the state government can regulate and prevents some doc shopping.

Again, it can only be genocide!
If only reality was as based as leftist histrionics.
Not mutilating and sterilizing kids is genocide.
...
Wait.
They are retarded.
That's an insult to actual retarded people.
Not even just that. Simply saying "No, I don't think you're transgender" is the same as murdering them.
