Narrow wins in cases on the periphery, even as the court denies other significant cases on individuals' rights. Also: Florida executions. And: A fourth anti-trans bill is set to become law.
In Mississippi, the age of majority is 21. This is codified under the Mississippi Code title 1, S1-3-27. A 20-year old who can join the military, vote, be convicted as an adult, and engage in sexual relations isn’t old enough to determine their gender identity. Parental consent means nothing, although you can drink at the age of 18 with parental consent and get married at 15 with parental consent.
This is such a timely comment! I was just thinking about that possibility last night, regarding another bill. Definitely something that needs to be more clearly addressed.
