Critics of the bill are particularly concerned that the new legislation lowers the age of gender transition from 18 to 16 years old.

All I can see when I read this madness is, if gender can be legally recognized as whatever you choose instead of what you actually are when you come down the chute, how long will it be until we all have legally recognize species as well as gender?

If somebody decides that they're actually a giraffe instead of a human being, do we enshrine that in law, too? Where does the insanity end?
