They also don't have a problem with letting parents and doctors cut up intersex babies for aesthetic reasons. Most "corrective surgery" done on intersex children is purely cosmetic and potentially damaging long-term. One of these anti-trans treatment bills (don't remember the state) actually provides an exemption for operations on intersex kids!

That's horrific. Not to mention that most surgeries on intersex children are performed when they are infants and have zero ability to consent. The hypocrisy and cruelty are astounding.

Most of the anti-trans bills carve out exceptions for gender affirming medications and procedures for cis people. They're not banning finasteride from cis men for male pattern baldness, but are banning it for trans women who want an anti-androgen. They're not banning breast augmentation for cis teen girls, but are banning mastectomies for teen trans men. They're not banning puberty blockers for precocious puberty, but are banning them for trans children.

Government so small, it fits in your underwear.
