    I think if anyone wants to go through the process of the drugs and the surgery that it it should be done after years, not days or weeks, of psychological evaluation. And a knife should never touch a kid's body until they're at least 18. This switching sides is not reversible, people need to be absolutely sure of their decision and a 13 year old kid just can't do that which is why we have universally accepted laws that people must be of a certain age before they can do certain things.

    That's what gender clinics do.

    You still haven’t shown any proof a doctor would refuse based on disagreeing.

    You have documented proof of your claim?

    No they don’t but they too can be swayed by prevailing medical beliefs I.e. the “fad” to do gender reassignment on babies born intersex. I see that as a far greater problem and yes, the child SHOULD be allowed to mature to the point where they can make an informed decision.

    The REAL issue is the Marjorie Taylor Greenes of this world who do not understand the science behind intersex or the effect that EDCs leeched from plastic may be having on the population

    This is where the bullying is coming from

    That wasn't your question. It's up to the doctor, period.

    I keep hoping for old Rupert Murdoch to do the decent thing and shuffle off this mortal coil. So much of this traces back to Faux News misinformation

    A reasonable position
    Thank you

    I do struggle a tad with the age limit.
    First, 18 is an arbitrary number, if we are waiting to full cognitive ability that is around 23-25 in most people and some never get there.

    Second, if all other avenues have been exhausted and surgical procedures are the only way to treat then it is the lesser of two evils.

    The only reason I support hormone therapy with all of its negatives is because it has been shown to make surgery unnecessary or able to be prolonged until they are mature.

    The issue is people that are against this want zero alternatives.

    The really weird thing is that if this was 10 years ago the left and right would be arguing about adults doing this. The right has come a long way in modernizing their views but it is never enough for the left. NEVER enough. They bent the knee on the issue but NOT GOOD ENOUGH...now they want to do it to CHILDREN
    Next, it will be in utero sex changes!
    "My unborn son kicks to Taylor Swift but does nothing when I play metallica, quick! get in there and castrate! my fetus has gender dysphoria"
    Laugh at the above all you want but I'm calling it. This is whats next! They will go SO EXTREME that the EXTREME stuff they are doing now won't seem extreme anymore.
    It works too! Take me for example. I used to think 18 was the cut off for this kind of thing and now i've lowered it by 2 years because I've seen now much worse it can be. Shame on me for the conformity! This is how it happens folks!

    I'm not the only justifying mutilating children. You've resorted to some crazy tactics but in the end, that's what this is about.

    I’m not justifying mutilating children either. No one under 18 should be able to have surgery to remove breasts or penis.

    you make it sound like hemaphrodites are a common thing. I see you bring up "intersex" in many of these threads in which you defend child genital mutilation. Do you know how rare that is? Man! This thread is really exposing you guys. You sure you want people knowing this is what the left thinks?

    The sad,sad reality is that it became a huge-huge money making business.
    I believe there are kids,teens and adults who truly are transgender and I don't see them as having a mental illness per say...family and society may put them on the path though.
    It's one big clusterfuck,

    Everyone agrees on age limits for certain things, but depending on the issue a lot of people differ on what the age should be. After being allowed to drink at 18, looking back I’m lucky to be alive, I mean real lucky. I think maybe that age limit should be revisited, but I’m sure a lot of people will disagree with me.

    I wish it was that simple.

    Men like murdoch, trump and desantis are not the cancer, they are but a symptom of it. The only thing that will cure it is education and exposure to other ideals and beliefs — which is why the right is trying to defund schools and replace boards with their own.

    Summed up perfectly:

    Legal age was 21 for me

    I think I drank more prior to 21 than I have in the 15 years after combined.

    No there is not. And this ideology underpins the bullying chasing these children to gender clinics in the first place. 1.7% of the population are born intersex

    And do not even go there with the effects of EDCs and sexuality

    You're not making any sense. A doctor doesn't have to chop off a thirteen year old girl's breasts if they don't want to. You keep going back and forth on this demanding proof then claiming you don't object before objecting again.

    Not every doctor is willing to perform every surgery.

    Between 1.5 and 2% of the population - most commonly quoted stat is 1.7% - more common than true red hair.

    An Intersex/DSD are NOT all hermaphrodites. It includes issues like CAIS CompleteAndrogen Insensitivity Syndrome. Born XY but their body does not respond to testosterone
