    I do, it's terrible. But it's not something any law would have prevented. They went against the doctor recommendations as well.

    How is it a strawman? It's a legit question. Just because you don't have an answer to go along with your agenda, calling it a strawman is your response.

    Now we’re gonna call following the docs advice, child abuse?
    What’s next? Vaccines are child abuse? Circumcision?

    It is not a legitimate question, it is a strawman.

    F**king disgusting that a 13 YO would be allowed to go through with it. We are a sick society.

    Bullshit. You cannot perform sex changing surgery on children. Full stop. So let it be written, so let it be done.

    Giving a 13 year old girl a double mastectomy is not healthcare.

    If your dr told you to push your child off a cliff, I'd guess you'd do it? Where did anyone's common sense go. Doctors are not the be all end all on life altering decisions. These decisions should be up to a mature adult for themselves and not by anyone else.

    How far are you willing to let the state go?

    So do you think it's healthcare to give a 13 year old girl a double mastectomy?

    Are you going to call this question a strawman too or are you going to answer it?

    Do I think it is healthcare? Did that happen? What were the circumstances?

    As far as to make performing sex altering surgeries on children a crime.

    You can read the OP, but I see what you're doing.

    And the tale told in the OP, from a suspect publication with a long history of both bigotry and nonsense, does not seem true nor accurate.

    They’re suing the doctors they ignored?

    Weren’t the parents who made this decision?

    If they did, that doesn't mean the doctors should go through with the surgery. Both the parents and the doctors should be held responsible. If I bring my child in and say to cut off his hand, that doesn't mean they should do it. It's sick any way you look at it.

    Ok so your conclusion is that the story is a total fake.

    You must think it's sick too then.

    How does a families personal decision hurt you? Isn't liberty about not infringing on another's right to be wrong. Their rights end when it interferes with yours, how is this interfering with your rights in anyway?
    In this instance they didn't follow doctors order, what makes you think they would follow the states orders?

    In this instance, everyone, the family.

    Permanently altering surgery to a minor shouldn't be a "families personal decision". It shouldn't exist. Once that girl is an adult, she can then make her decisions.

    And does something have to personally affect us in order to comment or care? Is that the new lefty standard?
