Observercast

Supreme What Now?

on

Actions speak louder than words. A Republican statehouse supermajority that brays incessantly about “trusting” and “empowering” parents is doing everything it can, as fast as it can, to usurp parents’ rights to make health care decisions for their transgender children. Think only transgender Oklahomans are in the lawmakers’ crosshairs? Don’t bet on it. For this week’s Observercast – Supreme What Now? – Senate Democratic Leader Kay Floyd helps unpack what’s behind the attack on gender affirming care; its implications for Oklahoma families, parental authority and health care professionals; and who might be targeted next by meddling lawmakers.
