I just listened to five hours of testimony on HB377 hearing trans kids, their parents, doctors, social workers, lawyers, therapists, hospital reps, state reps and excellent questions from the committee. More spoke for the bill than against it. Many expressed how they feel the transgender population is being bullied and has become a political target. Some pediatric endocrinologists are leaving our state! I feel our kids are being abandoned. I’m a mother, grandmother, teacher and nurse, and I believe government has no place in health care decisions between a child, their parents and their medical team. Each side had a lot of statistics, research and supportive organizations on their side, but what matters to me is keeping the government out of decisions about children’s medical issues! Children in New Hampshire need to be free to decide with their parents and all their health team professionals.
