So what. That was your child. She could not go and get this stuff done with out you. I dont care what she does and Im not going to call for legislation to prevent you from doing what is best for your child whatever it is.
Yeah, pumping children full of artificial hormones that disrupt their health and weaken their bones, taking a perfectly functioning sex organ and slicing it off is a normal, healthy thing to do. The medical community also told us that protesting George Floyd's death in large groups was completely healthy but going to church was incredibly dangerous and should be met with imprisonment. "Health Experts" can eat a dick with this ideological bullshit
Ah the science is influenced by politics trope. ....... its all a conspiracy lmao
Not really a great analogy since anorexia will kill you. Looking at the rates of suicide for those with gender dysmorphia seems like not allowing surgery would kill more.
Have you ever been in a mental health facility or school or social work? These fields are littered with the far left. Finding a conservative in these fields is like finding a unicorn. The one thing people admit about social work is that people get into the field because of their own issues. We have traumatized mental people all over working in these fields. So sure… they will disagree with common sense.
You clearly dont understand the pychological affects of various medical conditions and how they impact people. Im gald we have trained medical professionals working to improve people's lives . You are describing bulimia andit doesnt present orr have the same pyschological effects ad gender disphoria.
Its all a conspircay. I get it.
Using cacks logic… if someone kills thenselves how does that affect your day. That’s basically his and the lefts argument for everything. If it doesn’t affect you why bother.
You didn’t answer the question so I’ll take it as you have no clue. I was a social worker for 10 years. Couldn’t wait to get out. You have a field with majority far left or left leaning people they will influence decisions. It’s not that hard to understand. I wouldn’t call it a conspiracy… just convenient that they are making the defections and are the “experts”.
Is there any scientific data that proves giving minors hormonal treatment or surgery has any effect on their suicide rate? Because there is well documented evidence of the harmful effects of said treatment on their actual biologic functions, and still a plethora of other biologic functions that could be affected by artificially disrupting their normal hormonal processes that we have no idea what the affects are.
Go ahead and get the child mental health treatment and see where that goes. If they still feel they want to change their sex once they hit the age of consent they will have matured and had enough time to make their own decision.
Didn’t you just say we shouldn’t care about things not associated with our daily lives. Are you the only person allowed to care?
Okay fine, replace my example of church with the youth sports leagues around the country and world that were shut down.
Do you have a family doctor?
Well you need to so you can have someone telling you what to do…
Then we will fundamentally disagree.
I prefer to get the expertise of those who studied for 10+ years to advise me on my health. Self awareness is a great asset....
your personal moral outrage at someone else's personal freedom is hilarious. #Libetarianism. Not sure you understood my post if you think Im in favor of nonconseual adult child interactions. lol. The GOP actually wants that. Not me. Hence the link I posted. SMH
While I agree with this in general, we've seen a few instances in the media where the parents and doctor agree to go forward and later the child regrets it. That's why I'm for mental health treatment until they reach the age of consent.
Everything you listed affects people outside of their own selves. A transitioning person does not. Its not contagious. Its not a crime. It isnt stealing someone else's property or harming anyone in any way. I care about people being able to be who they want aand having help necessary to see they become the people they want to be. Drug addicts harm themselves and their families and they should be able to get quality help when they need it but they are not victimless acts. Sexual predators harm their victims. Yall acting like transitioning is a crime is just pure false equivalency. Gender affirming care done with the guidance of qualified medical professions should be available to those people who want it. Paying for it is obviously another issue. If they have insurance that covers it then great!
InB4:
Where do you come up with some of this stuff?
Cool.
What a reach… the equivalency is you keep saying what other people do with their lives is nobody else’s business. Everything listed does not affect you, you know it, I know it…
I think you can make that argument for just about anything in medicine. I think it comes down to acceptable risk tolerance, what you have as your level and what I have as mine are going to be different. The rate at which actual hormone and more invasive treatment happens is already at a trivial level. So, for me as long as the process is being regulated (big one), conducted by health professionals, and has consent of all three parties (patient/parent/doctor) then I don't see how I would know better than all three of those aspects.
The slippery slope for me is the parent and or doctor who take a less than rational approach. Granted these type of operations are a relatively small number, but I would hate for any child to make a mistake they’d have to live with the rest of their life.
That’s why I’d advocate for a 3 party sign off between the child/patient/doctor. At that point you’ve respected the rights of the child and parent, and got the medical input. I don’t see how that can be seen as anything but rational. The only people being hurt with anti-trans rhetoric in the news are already ostracized people.
