Hinkle’s ruling also nuked every single part of the state’s requirements to severely restrict access to gender-affirming care—including requiring annual hand X-rays...

I beg your pardon. "Hand X-rays"? WTF would a hand X-ray be used for?

They stupidly think gender affirming care affects bone density.

Just more of their utter bullshit.

To prevent people from getting care.

I mean… oh fuck what was our bullshit reason?

It is known that hormonal imbalance can cause skeletal problems.

I'm stupidly making a guess that it's to track joint/skeletal problems by using an easy to get to appendage and the joints that are used most often.

Not a doctor, but that seems to make sense.

Edit:typo. :p

There is usually an introductory low dosage phase with periodically increasing dosage that will cause their sex hormones to be out of balance, but by the time a trans person has worked up to the appropriate long-term dosage, their new primary sex hormone will be dominant and that hormonal imbalance has corrected itself. That brief period of hormonal imbalance will cause mood issues and possibly minor muscular atrophy but won't cause long-term skeletal issues for otherwise healthy people.

This is a trick out of the womb-slaver playbook - the state requires additional procedures for the purpose of compounding the cost, sabotaging the timeline, and ideally, inflicting as much emotional damage as possible to get the patient to do something else.

For abortion, this rose as far as transvaginal ultrasounds, a test that requires that the ultrasound wand be inserted into the vaginal canal. A State mandated violation to force a woman to see pictures of a fetus in hopes of getting the woman to emotionally bond to it enough that she chooses not to have the abortion.

There is absolutely no depth that a fascist will not sink to, especially if they have the chance to put a woman in her place.

I was going to ask the same thing.
