PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
..."State Rep. Brandon Woodard, a gay Kansas City-area Democrat, called the measure “a garbage bill.”
“Gender-affirming care is live-saving and this bill is dangerous, hateful and will lead to death by suicide,” he said.
During a Statehouse news conference for introducing GOP leaders' agenda, Masterson decried what he called a “sexualized, woke agenda" in public schools. Later, he told reporters that he wants to pursue a law that would spell out limits on what schools can teach or discuss about sexuality issues by grade level.
Masterson said he's worried about schools focusing on people's “innate characteristics” and “dividing us up into different groups.”
“We've gotten completely away from, basically, fundamental academics,” he said. “And it's not helping our children.”
But state Rep. Susan Ruiz, a lesbian Kansas City-area Democrat, said the “radical right” is creating the problems.
“These are just kids who are trying to understand themselves,” she said. “They are coming after children who are vulnerable.”
