started kicking in,

Taylor's gender dysphoria
got worse.
398

It's a pause button

without the parents' consent?
414

- I was respecting
her personhood.
415
00:17:03,674 --> 00:17:05,546
The medication
has been used for decades

who begin puberty too early.

If, for whatever reason,
she changes her mind,

taking the medication

Yeah, I get it.

You chose politics

- No, that's not fair.

- Oh, you--you begged me
to get on the stand,

to sacrifice my career
in the name of justice,
