Guest MormonGator Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 It's disturbing to me too. I'm all in favor of transgenderism, gay marriage-but this crosses the line completely. A minor shouldn't be allowed to get their ears pierced without parental consent, much less get an abortion or be allowed to become another gender.

Fether Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 I’m sure we can all agree that the decisions we all made at age 14 were never regretted at any point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unixknight Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Isn't it odd how medical science has been completely cast aside in favor of this kind of political pressure? You can't get a new procedure to remove warts without an approval process but hey, life altering hormonal treatments that leave the patient irreversibly barren/sterile and show no statistical improvement on the suicide rate of self-described transgender patients? Sure thing, it if pushes an ideology! Midwest LDS, scottyg and Anddenex 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure thing, it if pushes an ideology! This is even happening in the U.S. Many insurance plans now cover "transition surgery" for "gender dysphoria", and all you really need to get it covered are letters from medical providers and/or social workers saying that it is "medically necessary" for the individual's overall well-being. Methinks not, since the suicide rate for individuals after trans surgery is no different than those who identify as trans but do not undertake the surgery. The people and politicians who are pushing for this child to make these changes will one day be held accountable. The following is an article worth reading sometime. https://www.heritage.org/gender/commentary/sex-reassignment-doesnt-work-here-the-evidence unixknight, Anddenex, NightSG and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when they specifically block parental consent being a factor. Where else have we seen this? Hmm... let me think.... ...ah yes. Abortion.
