They demand a vast trove of records on puberty blockers from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

On the other end of this debacle, why have none of the medical professionals filed a lawsuit against the GOP lawyers for making medical decisions for people without having a medical license. Am I correct in assuming you can't practice medicine or make medical judgements without a license, or am I overlooking something?
- I think the overturning of chevron deference actually might make it so that politicians are just as qualified to make medical decisions for their constituents as doctors. It’s not a good era for the Supreme Court
Repubs when asked to wear a 1-ply cloth for public safety vs. Repubs when a none of their business is happening between a child, their parents, and the child's medical team.
How does this article define attack and gender care?
- Republican officials from 21 states have accused the medical group of violating state consumer protection laws by supporting gender-affirming care for trans youth. More ominously, they’re demanding that the AAP turn over extensive records about how it developed its policy.
  
  That's the attack, and the care is "puberty blockers and hormone treatment".
  
  So attack translates to accused of violating consumer protection laws. And care translates to perminantly modification of children's bodies. Why can a child consent to this perminant modification but not a tatoo or sex? Sounds like double standards to me?
