Children cannot drink alcohol or smoke, so why should they be allowed to consent to puberty blockers? This disrupts their natural biological development.
"Some children identify with a gender that does not match their sex assigned at birth. ". Children, are naive, add to this parrent indoctrination and voilà. When I was young, I thought I was ninja. Too much Naruto =).
Why do medical professionals and the medical consensus disagree with you then?
Medical professionals In the U.S was performing lobotomy less than 50 years ago and there was general consensus that it is beneficial within the country, but it was criticized outside, e.g in Soviet Union. Right now there is some consensus that minors can consent to sex change within the U.S mostly, but it is mostly unheard of outside. Same pattern in my opinion.
Right now there is some consensus that minors can consent to sex change
That is not what the consensus is.
Great points.
Medical professionals have never been wrong about anything, especially new things with very little data to study.
Trans people are not new, and there is plenty of data. And the conclusion to that data among medical professionals is that gender affirming care is the best way to help people.
Lol, good point.
Ah, so you support big government.
Fine. You get puberty blockers but we get rid of child labor laws. Screw that big government protecting kids.
How do you feel about infant circumcision?
I think it is a barbaric practice which should be outlawed. Let kids be kids, they can change their bodies when they grow up.
-15 downvotes not from regular people but from enablers
downvoting doesn't really do anything though
True. It just looks bad. We are post reddit so yes it probably doesn't look that good. People disagreeing etc.. like my original post has +5 upvotes and -5 downvotes so weird. Glad we can see them
Regular people support the right of a child to get beneficial medical care with parental approval and in consultation with doctors.
Most states will not permit to give meds to teens without a medical professionist receipt.
