Their actions have no bearing on YOU. You are just meddling.Ummm ... Yeah. That happens when you live in a community.
Yeah ... It kinda does when you are part of a community we have a responsibility for each other.Their actions have no bearing on YOU. You are just meddling.
It real is a shame that, in addition to not teaching you it is wrong to lie, your parents seem to have also not taught you to mind your own business.
You are assuming an importance in someone else's life and choices that does not exist.Yeah ... It kinda does when you are part of a community we have a responsibility for each other.
Absolutely ... they do it every day through the spread of information, discussion and the political process. Government for the people, by the people.How about others? Do they get to dictate what you can and cannot do, based on their personal beliefs or convictions?
You are a control freak.
From what?It's true, I do feel a duty to protect children.
While refusing to learn about WHAT they are actually doing, and how.Translation - "I do feel entitled to weigh in and control what other people can do with their bodies/lives. Moreover, I should be given precedence over the parents and physicians treating them."
The first sentence is true, I am entitled to weigh in. The second, a lie.Translation - "I do feel entitled to weigh in and control what other people can do with their bodies/lives. Moreover, I should be given precedence over the parents and physicians treating them."
How does a medical professional determine if a prepubescent patient is a appropriate candidate for such a radical irreversible path ?Cases where gender affirmation or puberty blockers have negative outcomes should be treated no differently than other such cases from other procedures and therapies.
Outcome studies will reveal likely side effects and disasters and their probability of occurrence. Improved testing guidelines and algorithms will be generated and procedures will be subject to ongoing surveillance.
Acceptance to programs now require considerably more than “sign this form”, in order to prevent law suits as well as to give parents and patient’s confidence they are making a good decision.
A good step before criticizing people’s freedoms is to first learn about the process. But I'm confident neither @Dog 2.0 nor Vicki have done so. They’re just here to pontificate on how superior they are to heathens and the mentally ill.
They think it’s their duty to protect children when in fact it’s none of their business.
Like telling your neighbors what they can do in bed and with whom?Yeah ... It kinda does when you are part of a community we have a responsibility for each other.
No you don't. You have developed an opinion from your addiction to yellow journalism.I know enough to have decided that transitioning is not a decision that should be made by a child, or for a child.
You're talking to a figment of your imagination.Like telling your neighbors what they can do in bed and with whom?
Or just because you have developed an opinion and need to impose it?
Or have heard about something and want to govern others lives by anecdotes and presumptions
Or by imposing beliefs due to fealty to your own personal "god".
I know enough to have decided that transitioning is not a decision that should be made by a child, or for a child.
So you twits want to ban stuff you don’t know about.How does a medical professional determine if a prepubescent patient is a appropriate candidate for such a radical irreversible path ?
Impossible for me to understand that certainty and then to set that patient on a lifetime of chemical dependency
So?What do you guys make of these anecdotes from the study I cited earlier?
“A 14-year-old natal female and three of her natal female friends are part of a larger friend group that spends much of their time talking about gender and sexuality. The three natal female friends all announced they were trans boys and chose similar masculine names. After spending time with these three friends, the 14-year-old natal female announced that she was also a trans boy”.
“A 14-year-old natal female and three of her natal female friends were taking group lessons together with a very popular coach. The coach came out as transgender, and, within one year, all four students announced they were also transgender”.

Come back when you want to take this seriously. You’re just taking “principled stances” based on willful ignorance.
You’re the opposite of principled: you’re arguing for a nanny state and giving away our freedoms to make you feel superior to other people based on your beliefs.
Your beliefs don’t make your superior, they make you an individual.
