The Dems are framing the debate for the mid-terms . I would go on the offensive but I see the Repubs are already struggling with definitions too,
The Dems have labeled Fla's school law as a 'don't say gay" law and corporate enablers like Disney fell in lock step
Alabama passed a bill banning hormone treatment, puberty blockers, and surgery for minors who say they want to change their gender. ""For these reasons, the decision to pursue a course of hormonal and surgical interventions to address a discordance between the individual's sex and sense of identity should not be presented to or determined for minors who are incapable of comprehending the negative implications and life-course difficulties attending to these interventions."
The Slimes immediately went into definition changing headlines ;"Alabama Lawmakers Approve Ban on Medical Care for Transgender Youth."
Medical care ? No minor is to be denied medical care . At best they are being denied elective procedures that mutilate . But you won't here the pols argue it that way.
NPR wrote"Alabama Legislature votes to ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth."
Gender-affirming ? The Repubs will fall into the rhetorical trap. The procedures do not "affirm " gender .They are designed to medically alter the gender .
Peppermint Patty Psaki speaking for Clueless said ;"To be clear, every major medical association agrees that gender-affirming healthcare for transgender kids is a best practice and potentially lifesaving." The Alabama law would target trans youth with tactics that threaten to put pediatricians in prison if they provide medically necessary, lifesaving healthcare."
Medically necessary ? Life saving ?
Clueless celebrated "Transgender Day of Visibility."

"Affirm" or "affirming" was used throughout the WH statement . So this is how the debate will be framed . Life saving ;affirming ,necessary procedure for elective mutilation . These procedures are as necessary as a piercing or a tattoo The compiant press will add emphasis to this turn of phrase .
These laws I believe will make it to SCOTUS somehow where now one of the justices claims to not be able to define a woman.
