Biden administration endorses transgender youth sex-change operations, 'top surgery,' hormone therap

Life altering decisions like this can not be reasonably made by a child period. If they were that intelligent about choices and harm it may cause their body you may as well allow them to drink their mind away as well

 

Absolutely and they are pushing them and encouraging them in these decisions. Telling white males they are excrement but if they want they can be cool hip and transition to the victim class!

 

Not really. The links below can give a broad overview. Basicially in a nutshell, if there are treatment options, the the thought and attempted suicide rates will drop significantly compared if there are no treatment options. This is not the old adage "suck it up like a man" anymore. Suicide, thought of, attempted, and succeeded among Transgender youth is about as bad as veterans with PTSD and other ailments. Neither is good and both should be treated vigorously by the medical communnity without or little interference from government.

No one is pushing anyone into treatment. No one. That is the lie the right tries to use to justify their decisions on this. This is not the Lynchburg Colony anymore or any other historical reference you can come up with.

 

That's why there are doctor's and parents. Let them make the decision. Is that hard to grasp?

 

Are they confused or are you confused? Because I don’t even think you know what GCS stands for. I ask this question because I genuinely think you don’t know anything about trans people.

Have you ever talked to trans people about their medical transition and what it’s like? Because honestly the way you’re posting I don’t think you have.

i prefer thinking of it more like an action but yes.

Kids… are between 5-10. Tweens are 11-13. Teens are 13-18. We use words to mean things. Use the right words you get the right results.

I already answered the question- sexism. And remeber that cuts both ways assuming you’re right. Cis kids wouldn’t know either so why shouldn’t they be allowed to wait either? Honestly what you’re saying is an argument for universal hormonal blockers.

i mean, I don’t really think they get it. I don’t think any of them have ever talked to trans people about a trans persons medical transition before.

 

If you think that NY and Ca should protect their interests vs the feds then then you should have no problem with Florida, Texas, and others doing it now. The bottom line is that there is no one size fits all mandate to be handed down from the federal government on high that everyone is going to accept. Thus the federalist system we have and the states as the laboratories of democracy. To stay United as a nation we must weaken the power of the federal government to enumerated powers of the constitution as amended including the 9th and 10th and let the states and the people including county and city government do likewise with our powers.

 

Bull

20 years ago this was not even on the minds of these kids. Now it is front and center in their face. Kids cannot even just be gay any longer. A value judgement has been made, trans is cool and hip and better. A Florida teacher bragging how she has 2 "queer" children. Her words. She socialized her kids to be that way it is not biological and it sure in the hell is nothing like a diabetic needing insulin.

 

Remember when ‘today we are all Muslim?’ Then it was all about gays, then it was all about women. Then the left doubled down and it was all about women survivors. Now it’s all about T people. And, of course, it always about blacks.

What group will the left pander to next?

 

Yep that's normal. Raising kids, teaching them to be gay or trans or whatever.

 

Is this a female?

 

I can't tell ya that, but I can tell ya which group they WON'T pander too...lol

 

LMAO!

 

Biological dead ends

 

And how do you describe circumcision?

This is not the Democratic Party's initiative: it is the consensus opinion of the medical community.

The medical research indicates that this path leads to much happier, better adjusted people, with far fewer suicide attempts & mental health issues, and much less substance abuse, and depression.

It is the resource of doctors, precisely, upon which this document is based.


I'm certainly open, however, to looking at the research on this subject, done by any of you, or other thread respondents.

Gender-affirming care is a supportive form of healthcare. It consists of
an array of services that may include medical, surgical, mental health,
and non-medical services for transgender and nonbinary people.
For transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents, early gender-
affirming care is crucial to overall health and well-being as it allows the
child or adolescent to focus on social transitions and can increase their
confidence while navigating the healthcare system.
Research demonstrates that gender-affirming care improves the mental
health and overall well-being of gender diverse children and
adolescents.1 Because gender-affirming care encompasses many facets
of healthcare needs and support, it has been shown to increase positive
outcomes for transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents.
Gender-affirming care is patient-centered and treats individuals
holistically, aligning their outward, physical traits with their gender
identity.
Gender diverse adolescents, in particular, face significant health
disparities compared to their cisgender peers. Transgender and gender
nonbinary adolescents are at increased risk for mental health issues,
substance use, and suicide.2
,
3 The Trevor Project’s 2021 National
Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health found that 52 percent of LGBTQ
youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year.4
A safe and affirming healthcare environment is critical in fostering better
outcomes for transgender, nonbinary, and other gender expansive
children and adolescents. Medical and psychosocial gender affirming
healthcare practices have been demonstrated to yield lower rates of
adverse mental health outcomes, build self-esteem, and improve overall quality of life for transgender and
gender diverse youth.5,6 Familial and peer support is also crucial in fostering similarly positive outcomes for
these populations. Presence of affirming support networks is critical for facilitating and arranging gender
affirming care for children and adolescents. Lack of such support can result in rejection, depression and
suicide, homelessness, and other negative outcomes.7,8,9

Never said it was easy. And I don't care. I will NEVER condone plastic surgery on children. Period. And don't try and tell me that they're not pushing for it. The OP proves that they are.

 

What pings ME off is what harm does it do? Honestly? Bathrooms? Well nearly every disabled toilet here is unisex. So……… are they hesitant to use a unisex toilet??

 

Bull ****. Your sophistry means nothing. "Kids" is a generalized term for anyone under the age of 18 or refers to offspring. My kids will STILL be my kids even when they are legally considered adults. But as far as this thread goes and its topic "kids" refers to anyone 17 and younger. IE: Someone that is not considered an adult. All you're attempting to do with your sophistry is to blur the lines in order to make it "OK" to perform plastic surgery on kids.

 

The OP never proved anything. The OP posted an opinionated piece based inaccurate information and gross, erroneous assuptions.

And I don't care what you think or condone. What I am concerned is making your viewpoint policy and directed to others that are not your children.

 

Really???

This kid was getting bullied for his ears

Compared to this

 

A person in a costume does not make reality

 

Oh! Wow! Release the Kraken! There are kids who are allowed to be what they want to beeeee!!

And this is your problem - why??

 

They are being steered towards biological dead end choices to placate their parent's dead end choices at an early age when they are both impressionable and malleable.

It's pretty much child abuse.

 

No it’s a twit in a ****
