Michigan and Ohio GOP legislators discuss 'endgame' of banning all trans health care [View all]

(Michigan Advance) Several Republican legislators from Michigan and Ohio were recorded in an online forum planning to try to ban trans health care for everyone, regardless of age.

The discussion was hosted by state Rep. Brad Paquette (R-Niles) on the X social media platform and included Reps. Josh Schriver (R-Oxford) and Tom Kunse (R-Clare) as well as state Sens. Lana Theis (R-Brighton) and Jonathan Lindsey (R-Coldwater). Also featured was Ohio state Rep. Gary Click, sponsor of that state’s ban on gender affirming care, and anti-trans activist Prisha Mosley of Michigan.

As first reported by independent journalist Erin Reed, the legislators openly discuss their opposition to the trans community, and more specifically to any kind of transgender care, even for adults.

“In terms of endgame, why are we allowing these practices for anyone?” said Schriver. “Why would we stop this for anyone under 18, but not apply this for anyone over 18? It’s harmful across the board, and I think that’s something that we need to take into consideration in terms of the endgame.” ...............(more)
