This is about a fraction of a fraction of a percent of children in this country. And Republicans are going insane about them.
- "North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed Wednesday a trio of bills aimed at LGBTQ+ youth that would ban gender-affirming health care for minors, restrict transgender participation in school sports and limit classroom instruction about gender identity and sexuality."
  I believe all transgender people make up about 0.7% of the population. That's about 110,000. If 25% are minors, that's around 27,000 people per year banned from getting the help they need.
  40% end up commiting suicide as it is...
  
  They know the suicide rate for transgender children is high. They're fine with that. They want children to die. So pro-life of them.
  
  I think your numbers are a little off. According to the Williams Institute trans people actually only make up about .5% of US citizens, and 18% of trans people are aged 13-17. The US population is around 338,000,000. Multiply that by .5% and you get 1,690,000 trans people in the US. 18% of 1,690,000 comes to 30,420 trans children between 13-17.

Governor Roy Cooper, the last vestige of hope for North Carolina.
- Josh Stein hopefully will succeed Cooper in the Governor's position. He has the backing of the party and has a really good track record as AG.
  
  Does a Jew have a chance in NC? I just assume that if you're not 'one of the good ol boys' you don't have a chance... A Harvard Educated Lawyer from DC.... is gonna be a real outsider isn't he?
- Then how come the right is busy lowering the age for child marriage, for factory labor, slashing lunches for kids, going in for genital inspections, and rocking a solidly historic record of documented child abuse?
  Why do you alt-reicht pedos always try to get ahead of the charges by projecting onto another group? It’s not even subtle. There’s only one thing to do with nazis and Nazi pedos.
