George and Emily Spurrier are leaving their home of 16 years in central Arkansas due to a new law that will ban the health care that they say their 17-year-old transgender son needs.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a Republican, vetoed the measure earlier this month, calling it “a vast government overreach.” But the Arkansas General Assembly overrode the veto, and the bill will become law this summer.
Emily Spurrier said when her son heard the news, he sat in her car and cried for an hour.
“It was just kind of a wave of emotions, thinking about moving and then him worrying about some friends that he has here in the Little Rock area,” she said. “And then just the thought that this is really the only place he ever remembers living.”

As I've said this before just make the required age the age of consistent in the state. If a teen can consistent to have sex willingly or date willingly of an older age then they are old enough to have a sex change and hormonal surgery.

Honestly that still confuses me. Why can we sign up those same 17 year olds into the military but can ban them scientifically proven medical care? Old enough to train for war but not old enough to get treatment?

SFC (Join to see) id say because at 17 joining the military unless you die you can come back. Once you go through the change its irreversible. The vast my majority of the youth flip flop on a range of issues and day to day events. I only suggest age of constant because by 16 or 17 you're aware of what you want or your aware of the consequences of such life altering decisions.
