👍 No Degree, No Problem: States are opening up their talent pools to more qualified applicants and knocking down barriers to opportunity for individuals to advance. Florida and Georgia hop on the bandwagon implementing a smart reform that will unlock tens of thousands of job opportunities for non-college grads.

** Policy Focus: The Risks of Gender-Transition Treatments in Adolescents ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Medical treatments often come with serious risks and side effects. It’s important for people to be aware of these possibilities and how likely they are, to fully weigh the benefits and costs of treatment.

Patients, as well as the parents of minor patients, deserve this information.
