These are not reasonable restrictions. If any of the clauses in section two are found to be true, then the care is considered unlawful. Many of these clauses are extremely broad, for example "Fails to ensure (at least annually) that the patient is not experiencing social
contagion with respect to the patient’s gender identity."
Note that, unlike some of the other clauses, this isn't "with respect to a patient who is a minor," so this can be applied to adults as well. What does this clause even mean? Does a 30 year old trans person who has trans friends count?
As we've seen in the fallout after the overturning of roe v wade, doctors are extremely hesitant to provide care if they can get in legal trouble for it. Call it like it is, this is a chilling effect on all trans care.
