The government won't force you to vaccinate your kids, because we have certain principles about bodily autonomy and parental rights in this country. Even when the results are awful. We still have certain principles about personal choice.

But with trans healthcare, there's a huge and growing movement to take away families' rights to make their own medical decisions about this kind of care.

Even many liberal and centrist publications and commentators will constantly debate the quality of scientific evidence for youth gender medicine--at worst, the argument seems to be "we're not sure if it works, because there just isn't a lot of high-quality evidence." The implicit argument is that if the science is insufficiently compelling, the state would be justified to remove the liberty of families to make these choices for themselves. That state legislatures, or Congress, would be warranted in making these healthcare choices *for* American families--because the science is ambiguous.

But where the science it *totally unambiguous*--on the benefits and safety of vaccination, or the necessity in many emergencies for blood transfusions, we let anti-vaxxers put their children (and other children!) at risk. We let Jehovah's Witnesses deprive their children of lifesaving emergency care.

In other words, we are so committed, as a country, to the freedom of families and individuals to make their own choices about their bodies and their healthcare, that we allow them even to make *objectively very bad choices*.

Except, apparently, when it comes to transgender healthcare. Here, we make an exception. Here, Congress gets to choose for you. In this one area, you are not to be permitted the freedom to make choices for yourself or your child. The government will tell you what you can and cannot do, as a parent.

You're allowed to make medical decisions for your child that result *directly* in their death; but you're not allowed to get them healthcare that you and your child sincerely believe is necessary for their flourishing and health--not if that healthcare challenges people's norms about sex and gender.

@Reagan_Airport I think if you’re going to offer 5+ types of condoms for purchase in terminal 1 there should be at least one location women have access to tampons!! Please take notes!
