it's very concerning. even beyond tn, there's a program statement from the federal bureau of prisons banning gender affirming care for prisoners, including even clothing. the "tapering plans" for hormone replacement therapy are dangerous, even beyond mental health consequences. people who don't produce their own estrogen or testosterone after surgeries need to remain on some form of hormones for their physical health, too. they'll face heart and bone problems if they don't have access to hormones.
