I'm so torn on the state bans. On one hand, I fear that as long as there are large numbers of informed consent adult clinics, the bans will have the unintended consequence of even more teens rushing to start hormones the moment they turn 18 as a middle finger to the state and a grand statement it wasn't "just a phase" and now they are adults.

This is situation where we need to see the data on what happens in states with and without band when kids turn 18
