This couldn’t be more anti-New Hampshire if they tried. Block free speech? Check. Block 4th amendment right to privacy? Check. Block being allowed to make your own medical decisions? Check.
Between this and the anti-abortion bullshit the GOP going full authoritarian huh? Well folks you get what you vote for when you put scum buckets into office to fuck the state up with their knuckle dragging life views

They're children. Children don't get to make their own medical decisions.

These decisions, even if made by parents on behalf of the minor, are not snap decisions. There is a process, including therapy and potentially ssri meds, that generally lasts a year or more, before any endocrinologist intervention, and longer before any surgical intervention. No one decides this overnight. I've been involved with this community, and I've never met a parent who actively encouraged transition. Including myself.

Doesn't change the fact that children can't consent.

So children in this state can marry, but children of the same age requesting life saving interventions after lengthy psychological evaluation is, in your opinion, harmful. Ok.

This bill prevents parents from making medical decisions for their children, which is often done in conjunction with their children.
Unless you’re a psychopath and forcing them to take medication.

This isn't a decision that parents should be making, IMO. Wait until the child is old enough to make this decision on their own.

So the state gets to mandate medical decisions that children/parents and doctors have all agreed to? Huh. No thanks communist China.
If I wanted to live in some authoritarian hellscape I’d go love to Mass. At least there I can also get some decent public transportation I guess.
