Read this section of the bill:
A physician or health care provider who provides a gender
modification procedure or treatment to a patient is:
(1) liable to the patient for a malpractice claim in
the provision of the procedure or treatment; and
(2) strictly liable to the patient for the patient's
medical, mental health, and pharmaceutical costs, including costs
associated with reversing a gender modification procedure or
treatment, incurred for the life of the patient as a result of the
procedure or treatment.
Another thing, this section of the bill is one that you'd like. I think it's logically backwards, because if transgenderism is real, then it must apply to children, and if it is not real, it must not apply to anybody. Anyhow, read this section as well:
Sec. 74B.005. EXCEPTIONS. Sections 74B.003 and 74B.004 do
not apply to the provision by a physician or health care provider,
with the consent of a child's parent or legal guardian, if
applicable, and the coverage by a health benefit plan of
appropriate and medically necessary gender modification procedures
or treatments to a patient who:
(1) is born with a medically verifiable genetic
disorder of sex development, including:
(A) 46,XX chromosomes with virilization;
(B) 46,XY chromosomes with undervirilization; or
(C) both ovarian and testicular tissue; or
(2) does not have the normal sex chromosome structure
for male or female as determined by a physician through genetic
testing.
There's a lot more text in the bill that is likely significant, but I think I've highlighted most of the stuff that laymen like ourselves can understand. It's moreso insurance things from then on.
So, to conclude, the bill does NOT take any basic human rights away from anyone. It simply bans doctors from doing procedures on minors without parental consent that have permanent or potentially permanent effects on said minor.
I'm not going to respond to the rest of the comment, because you're being extremely rude and you're assuming that I think this, or that I think that. If I were to tell you that you supporting abortion meant that you probably supported infanticide, that'd be absolutely crazy. That's despite the fact that I think abortion is infanticide.
