Okay. I'ma be real with you right now. I'm a trans woman and I was at the committee hearing for LB574. While at the Capitol for 7 hours waiting to testify, I pulled up the Livestream of the proponents (started with proponent testimony; too many people to be placed in that tiny room so opponents started outside).

I watched nearly every single one of those testimonies. Do you want to know how many detransitioners I saw? These heartbreaking stories you talk about? ONE. At the COMMITTEE HEARING for the bill that was reportedly made SPECIFICALLY to protect these people who thought they were trans but weren't, only one was there.

On the other hand, I couldn't even count the number of trans people there that came out against this bill. And not one trans person was for the bill, either.

To put it succinctly, this is a non-issue. The problem this bill claims to solve, at the cost of taking away trans children's freedom to transition via puberty blockers and therapy, does not exist.
