'SC Democrat under fire for sponsorship of anti-trans bill, false idea of health care for trans youth' & other Fri midday news briefs

 

SC Rep Cezar McKnight has false ideas about health care for trans youth

Democratic Politician Is Architect of South Carolina Anti-Trans Bill - This guy is simply ignorant. He's proposing a bill against trans healthcare and doesn't even know what it entails. Take this passage for example: 

McKnight, whose legislative district is largely rural and two-thirds Black, says that his constituents support the legislation. “Black Democrats tend to be more conservative than white progressives,” McKnight told The Associated Press. “I would not have ever put this bill forward if I didn’t think the people in my district wouldn’t be receptive, and they are. Pastors, young parents, older parents, they all tell me the same thing: if you want to do this, wait until you’re 18.” 

 That's just it. Transgender youth do not go through any type of "surgery."
