TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (FLV) – Some members of the public had strong words for lawmakers in opposition of a bill that will ban minors from receiving sex-reassignment prescriptions and procedures during a committee meeting.
A common theme reiterated by public speakers was that they feel lawmakers are committing “trans genocide” and that “many people will die” if the legislation passes.
“Hi I was once a trans youth, and now i’m a happy 22-year-old trans adult student at New College in Florida,” one speaker said, raising what appeared to be a needle.
“This is my healthcare, don’t tread on it,” the speaker said.
The bill will also prohibit state funds from being used for sex-reassignment prescriptions and procedures for adults.
