    Cooper denounced the bills as “a triple threat of political culture wars” that he said would interfere with the ability of doctors and parents to care for vulnerable children whose lives have been thrust into the political spotlight and upended by legislation in dozens of Republican-led states.

      “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.

          For sure. I just guessed at 25%.

          What do you think it would be for North Carolina?
