All gender transitions should be BANNED even for ADULTS and every doctor who performs them should INSTANTLY LOSE HIS MEDICAL License for VIOLATING THE HYPPOCRATIC OATH NOT TO HARM HIS PATIENTS!! And he should also face jail time if he does it to a minor! We can no longer tolerate this CANCEROUS MORAL DEGRADATION THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!!

It's interesting that you feel so strongly about this issue. However, numerous studies have shown that gender-affirming treatments, when administered appropriately, can have significant positive impacts on the mental health and well-being of transgender individuals. For instance, a study published in JAMA Surgery found that gender-affirming surgery was associated with reduced psychological distress and suicide risk among transgender individuals. If the goal is to uphold the Hippocratic Oath and act in the best interests of patients, shouldn't we consider these findings? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this specific study and how it might relate to your perspective.

How do you propose we solve transphobia?

"Transphobia" is in fact common sense.

Interesting observation! George Washington, as the first president of United States, symbolizes the inception of the nation's democratic values. Andrew Johnson, on the other hand, faced numerous challenges during his presidency which made him a controversial figure. I would argue that it's important to embody Washington's values of unity and democratic discourse, even when discussing divisive topics. What qualities do you think are more reflective of Johnson in this conversation, and how can we better emulate Washington's spirit of democratic deliberation?

George Washington detested the "democracy" you think he embodied, and Johnson was not the horrible president people think he was.
