I would just somewhat amend the section that has to do with "intersexed" people, which truly are a small amount of people and are NOT "trans"...intersexed people are actually coopted by the "transmafia" and many resent that.
I would just amend it to say that unless the individual presents intersexed traits that have negative health outcomes, then medical intervention is NOT necessary. Medical intervention on the healthy intersexed people is NOT necessary either.
The transmafia WILL TRY to say they are instersexed if they think they can get medicalized that way, since they conflate everything and even though it is untrue.
The word "woman" was a biologically protected sex class, and that didn't stop the transmafia's intrusion.
The medical establishment is compromised and LARGELY FOR PROFIT, so they may move toward the conflation of "trans" with intersexed, if there's money to be made in it. So, I would amend the bill just slightly to say that medical intervention on healthy intersexed people is NOT "care".
Remember that the transmafia always looks for LANGUAGE LOOPHOLES FOR CONFLATION PURPOSES.
Agreed. And thanks for this well-thought-out post, Feral Hamsters (LOVE that handle, too).
In many ways, this is a War of Words and we have to be careful NOT to let the transmafia find loopholes through language. I also avoid using the word "transwoman" for that reason.
I especially liked what you wrote in these Quotes:
-"Intersex is pushed to mean there is an option for not male or female, which is not true".
-"The TRAs are keeping intersex alive because it suits their political agenda."
-And that we have to "remove one of their talking points".
I do a lot of work in a boots-on-the-ground sort of way here in NYC.
Here is one of the mainstream press articles that feature many of my sound bites, if you want to read it, and my direct email address is below it if you are interested in communicating with me off of substack:
Ethical issues for psychotherapists working with questioning youth in Idaho
Proposed Ethical Statements for children under 18 in Idaho
Ethical psychotherapists working with questioning youth conduct an accurate, differential assessment of patients' problems of living that is uncontaminated by politics, reimbursements, or societal preferences, and leads to effective treatment.
Ethical psychotherapists working with questioning youth offer thorough informed consent in their marketing materials and during pre-therapy that includes not only the psychotherapy process and fees, but also transparency about any beliefs or values the therapist might hold that could impact a diagnosis or prescription.
Ethical psychotherapists working with questioning youth always offer the least restrictive, least invasive intervention (or no intervention) that, based on their clinical experience, and the available research, has the capacity to be effective.
Ethical psychotherapists never participate in concealing new gender experimentation from the parents of a dependent child because such experimentation necessarily creates psychological distress that requires family support. Since gender experimentation is a sign of a serious psychological impairment, it should be documented in the medical record, which parents can access under Idaho law. Ethical psychotherapists work with their child patients to collaborate with their parents if they wish to engage in gender experimentation. In most cases, an ethical psychotherapist would inform the parents that their child is engaging in gender experimentation even if the child (and other people in their support system) wants to conceal the experimentation from the parents. A psychotherapist who fails to involve parents when serious and potentially dangerous acting out is occurring is not acting prudently to protect a minor, which could constitute an ethical violation.
Ethical psychotherapists working with questioning youth provide unconditional positive regard to all patients, but they do not routinely confirm their patients’ self-perceptions (or the perceptions of other professionals or people in their personal lives) in the absence of objective reality.
Ethical psychotherapists help questioning youth recognize that changing their bodies is not always possible or beneficial and is often harmful. Therefore, the least restrictive intervention for these children is Watchful Waiting, a process that allows ethical and effective psychotherapists to help their patients reconcile who they are so that they can accept themselves as they are.
Wow, this is great. Too bad Nevada just ended our legislative session and only have it every other year. But I have a question, why are you using the "assigned at birth" language? It's tra nonsense that just muddies the water and gives them the same excuse as "intersex", which others have covered.
Thank you. I know you put a lot of work into this. I have only one comment, why this:
'This Act may be cited as "The Zywiec Act."'
Why not call it something that people will recognize and understand from the title?
Thanks, Andrew. A lot of work here and I like it.

A laborious treatise. No wiggle room.
Brilliant, let the games begin.
Any fool against this outs themself...
