Ohio has a much more supportive law. Child growth and development must be important to have a happy, healthy country.

The Columbus City Schools Board of Education (click here) approved a policy that complies with a state law requiring parental notification for transgender students, but added a caveat that the board said will protect them in case of abuse or neglect.
The board vote on June 17 adopted a modified model policy that makes Columbus City Schools compliant with state House Bill 8, which proponents call the "Parents' Bill of Rights" and includes a requirement that the district inform parents about any request by a student to identify as a gender that does not align with the student’s biological sex.
Board President Michael Cole said the board wants "to ensure that children have every bit of advocacy they need on our side, policy-wise and in terms of administrative guidelines to ensure that they're protected."...

Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (click here) will close its Center for Transyouth Health and Development and its transgender surgical program in July, citing federal and state-level funding pressures.
The hospital told families in an email that there was “no viable alternative” to closing the clinic, one of the nation’s largest, citing “the increasingly severe impacts of federal administrative actions and proposed policies,” including an executive order issued by President Donald Trump earlier in the year.
The center’s last day of operation will be July 22, according to the email, which was signed by clinic leaders including Paul Viviano and Kelly Johnson.
Earlier this year several hospitals in the United States suspended their child transgender programs after Trump’s order “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” which moved to halt the “maiming and sterilizing [of] a growing number of impressionable children” due to transgender ideology....
It is terrible when people are this ignorant. There is no national security or international security risk of transgender people. This is political nonsense intended to raise fear and hate. There is supposed to be some political alignment with Trump when the fear sets in. It's an unbalanced way to promote a political campaign that can do real life harm to people.
The fear mongering by the Trump people never stops. Whatever is in the headlines is fair game.

“In leftist states and in blue states, they don’t want to enforce [the law] because they understand that’s their voter base, no different than immigration, so rather than follow the law, they’d rather let them get away with it so they vote for more Democrats again,” Trump said of recent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles and “No Kings” demonstrations.
Hundreds have been arrested at the ICE protests, while smaller contingents were detained at “No Kings” events across the country, which were largely peaceful....
Are humans violent or peaceful by nature? We are both. In this ambitious and wide-ranging book, Agner Fog presents a ground-breaking new argument that explains the existence of differently organised societies using evolutionary theory. It combines natural sciences and social sciences in a way that is rarely seen. According to a concept called regality theory, people show a preference for authoritarianism and strong leadership in times of war or collective danger, but desire egalitarian political systems in times of peace and safety....
