        “Ted” Cruz? You mean the guy who was born out of the county, who’s had gender-affirming care, and who refuses to use the name his parents gave him when he was born? That “Ted” Cruz?

            I forget the details in Cruz’s case (maybe the person who commented will fill in those), but it’s not anything like you’re thinking. “Gender affirming care” can mean any kind of medical treatment/care that is for the purpose of making you feel more like your gender identity. e.g. a man getting hair plugs to look more manly or taking hormone supplements to grow out his beard, etc.

            Again, I forget what the case is for Cruz, but it was something routine that technically falls under “gender affirming care” that he and his ilk are constantly demonizing. Just a fun little way to call him a hypocrite.

              It probably is.

              “Gender affirming care” can mean any kind of medical treatment/care that is for the purpose of making you feel more like your gender identity. e.g. getting hair plugs to look more manly, taking hormone supplements to grow out your beard, etc

              Yep, and I believe that more gender affirming care procedures are performed on cisgender persons the transgender persons.

              Edit: I managed to leave out a bunch of words the first time.

              And technically true is the best scenario for throwing in their faces! 😆 Especially when it’s applying their stupid laws to them in a “no not like that” way.
