While generally the phrase "the cruelty is the point" is a great way to show how Republican ideas hurt society, I don't think it applies here. The law is meant to hurt trans people, or children who are sexually active, not kids who were raped by their parents.

Being bared from healthcare is a god damn human rights violation in any context. If it somehow explicity prohibited specifically the things they think are wrong, sure, it's still shit, but sure. But like this, they are quite literally stating that children don't have the right for healthcare, it's a privilege the parent must grant. It's beyond fucked! The parent can legally kill their child now, as long as nobody bothers to file a proper neglect case.

Comparing republicans to nazis is an insult to nazis; they at least actually had their fucked up family values. Republicans just want everyone to suffer more than them.

Cruelty is still the point. You're just saying that it's primarily targeted at trans kids.

Def meant to put a point on … exactly how would you actually be able to tell where that line of intentionality is? and more to point, .. does it matter, really, a system is what it does and intention is irrelevant. They meant to do something

This is Idaho. I bet dollars to donuts there are a bunch of LDS members that are quite happy with this situation.

Depends on which kids and which parents. OP's post has strong Chinatown energy.
