'Jeopardy!' champion Amy Schneider testified against an Ohio bill that would restrict gender-affirming medical care for minors, saying that after receiving gender-affirming care, she 'knew peace and quiet for the first time.' - NBCOUT

"And yet, if all those things remained just as they are now, and the only thing that was changed was that I was told that I could no longer access hormone therapy, I don’t know that I could go on living," Schneider said.

"So what I’m asking here today is please don’t take that away from them," she said."Please don’t force them to go back to that constant feeling of wrongness and danger. I’m not asking anyone here to change your personal views on trans people. I’m not here to scold anyone about pronouns.

from providing puberty blockers, hormone therapy and transition-related surgery to minors; barred public funds from being used or distributed to hospitals or any organization “that provides gender transition procedures to any minor"; and banned Medicaid funding for gender-affirming care for minors. Advocates say it also would’ve required school staff to out students questioning their gender identity to their parents.

The substitute also requires physicians who prescribe puberty blockers and hormone therapy to annually report data related to these treatments to the Ohio Department of Health, including the number of patients receiving such care, as well as their ages and sex assigned at birth.

NBCOUT Stop transing our youth you groomer! By the way. That’s a guy.

NBCOUT Not for minors, I doubt she was a minor at the time of her procedure. The brain doesn't stop forming until 25 or 26. That should be an acceptable time.

NBCOUT Poor girl or boy ;

NBCOUT Amy is a dude, so...that's a bit self serving.

NBCOUT Schneider is like a modern day Quiz Show to astroturf trans ideology

NBCOUT Creepy

NBCOUT Why can’t we just leave kids alone and let them be kids….they have the rest of their lives to make adult decisions.

NBCOUT Psychopath.. Keep your hands off children...

NBCOUT Utterly nauseating. Stop giving this person such fawning attention. Gender dysphoria is NOT 'trendy.'
