Leftist Parents Flee Florida As Gender Treatments For Children Made Illegal

It really is a brilliant strategy on the part of conservative states.
As the political left goes further into ideological extremism they
become more and more intolerant of restrictions on their behavior,
which they view as righteous and sacrosanct.  Zealotry breeds
brittleness, meaning, any enforcement of practical and reasonable
standards, even those protecting children, will drive leftists insane
and make them want to leave.

The more socially normal a state becomes the less leftists want to
live there, and there are a lot of states that would be much happier
without them.  Until recently, many state legislators and governors
have been too afraid or too uninformed to take action against the
invasion of deconstruction philosophies, but this is changing.

Florida has joined seven other states so far in officially outlawing
"gender affirmation treatments" for minors, including hormone blockers
and surgeries that could disrupt the natural biological processes of
those children for the rest of their lives.  Trans activists have
admonished the laws as prejudiced and a violation of their rights,
claiming that the treatments are "safe and reversible."  However,
scientists in the field admit that data on the long term consequences
of hormone replacement and other therapies is far too limited to say
for certain.  In other words, the newest generation of children have
become guinea pigs for a baseless experiment in mass de-gendering.

Red states want nothing to do with it, and leftist parents who gain
considerable virtue signal points for having a trans child are so
incensed that they are ready to leave for more woke shores.  If they
can't exploit their children to climb the victim status ladder, then
they are taking their ball and going somewhere else.

The common argument among tans activist groups is that gender
affirmation treatments "save lives."  As noted, there is no long term
data to support this claim.  Beyond their appeals to emotion,
activists can't offer any scientific evidence supporting gender fluid
theories.  There are many people who would in fact oppose the notion
that "trans children" even exist, with far too many factors at play
including peer pressure, parental manipulation and school
indoctrination.

Politically, the leftist ability to impose hormone therapies and
gender based surgeries on children would ostensibly lock those
children into the woke fold for the rest of their lives.  Take that
ability away and the social justice movement loses a primary tool for
perpetuating their ideology on the next generation.  The effort to
protect kids from gender cultism is indirectly driving further
separation of normal Americans from woke leftists, and maybe that's a
good thing.
