huh

Encouraging mental disorders in adults is cruel enough, doing it to children really should be considered abuse.

exactly

i dont think children should be allowed to make such decisions

I agree children shouldn't be encouraged to do it

if you ask a small child, would you like to be the opposite gender, would they say yes or no

Dear God no

Trans sucks

It's not "normal"

But it is real

we dont let kids drive/give them tattoos/let them marry so why should we let them do something as permanent as change their gender

And I knew that when i was 3 years old

plus, a lot of children do random things, like put on womens clothing as jokes, and then their politically correct parents decide how great it would be to abuse their child to push their agenda

I agree that is abuse

I'll reinterate, I personally do not support anyone changing their legal sex or making permanent changes to their body before the ago of medical consent.

I simply believe if a child has been consistent in their determination of their cross-sex gender that they should be permitted to delay things to give more time to sort it all out. Going through the wrong puberty is horrific. I do not want to see kids go through that under duress either from society, their parents, or their gonads.

thats pretty true ive worn a princess dress once when i was like 5 and i am perfectly straight right now

Woot! I'm so glad.

Like I said, speaking for myself only, I'd love to see everyone born happy in their biological body.

i wore a bra once when i was 7 and now im an internet trap

alright, lets magically turn you into a woman with our politically correct imagination and expensive surgery!

i wore a bra whilst being extremely fucking drunk like half a year ago

I don't need the benefit of imagination. Neither does Kim Petras who I linked to above.

I'm sitting in a hospital where only the handful of people I have told of my past know I haven't been anatomically female my whole life. And that's wearing scrubs and no make up.

Hormones are amazing. Well that and $60 grand of electrolysis. Damn body and facial hair... >.<

I have to go to a meeting. I'll see what people have to say in a bit. Have a great day, everyone!

ok

goodbye

a majority of states have, indeed, repealed parental rights for minor children over 12 regarding birth control, STI treatment, and adoption

https://www.guttmacher.org/state-policy/explore/overview-minors-consent-law

but only 2+ DC allow 12 year old girls to get abortions without involving their parents

so far - I have little doubt there is great effort underway to ensure that any 12 year old girl in the US can get an abortion without involving a legal guardian

yeah - I would oppose those laws

there should probably be a special case made for STI treatment, though

@DrYuriMom grow a sense of humour.

I'm not even anti-trans.

Just taking the piss

To me, Transgender people are suffering from a mental illness. They are sick, but they don’t deserve contempt for it. I just think that pushing people into transitioning or taking hormones isn’t the best course of actions

"mental illness" is commie propaganda

I understand it is a form a therapy, but it’s a kind of therapy that takes a lot out of a person with almost no recourse for reversal
