Converation thread

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!!

While I understand your concerns, it's important to consider the well-being and autonomy of individuals seeking gender transition. Many studies, such as one published in JAMA Surgery, have shown that gender-affirming surgeries can significantly improve the quality of life and mental health of transgender people. Restricting access to these treatments may cause more harm than good. As a Libertarian, I believe in individual freedom and personal choice. What alternative support would you propose for the transgender community to ensure their well-being and mental health?

As a libertarian you ought to believe that parents should be free to make decisions about their children, not the state-operated schools that are cramming this depraved and wicked ideology down their throats and glamorising so-called "gender transitions" which are incredibly destructive to mental and physical health and totally irreversible. How can any libertarian (and I am a libertarian conservative myself) NOT believe that? Just as children don't have voting privileges, and they can't drink whiskey and drive motorcycles, children have NO right to make irreversible decisions that damage their bodies and significantly reduce their lifespans.

The problem with your view of gender transitions is that you put the most hilariously unscientific and misleading claims onto it and then act as if every trans kid is depraved and insane. Schools are NOT the prime source of trans kids existing, that’s not the teachers, that’s the backlash to it that gave them any attention in the first place. Teachers don’t talk about it NEARLY as much as students, I know because I was one, and they talk more about validity and stupid trends than anything. Science has shown so far that it’s helpful and medically necessary for plenty…  Read more of them to get treatments, which they often beg for themselves long before any “media” ever reached them. They are not totally irreversible, children aren’t rocks that we chip away at with medicines, and most every side effect of puberty blockers disappears after stopping and can be supplemented with Vitamin-D pills. Every step of the way it requires a legal guardian or parent to get any medical treatment at all, and less than 10k kids in the USA are currently undergoing any of that at all. You are worrying about an inflated issue when it’s only real reason to worry is the backlash against it. That’s right, the backlash is what put it in the spotlight, so give them rights, and shut the hell up about it.

I'm just going to assume you're not being disingenuous, you're merely utterly uniformed about the laws in this country. Because in Washington, they passed a required Sexual Education thing FOR FIRST GRADERS that includes pronographic material and lengthily and thoroughly discusses transgenderism and tells them that gender is fluid. I KNOW BECAUSE I LIVE IN WASHINGTON! Also, in California, they did the same thing, but with Kindergarteners. In Washington AND California you can get a gender transition AT ANY AGE WITHOUT INFORMING YOUR PARENTS. Teachers are actively describing this as a positive good to their pupils. These are basic facts.

The link isn’t working, everytime I try to actually press one of your links it just says “page not found” with the ISideWith background behind it.

OK, here's the link again, you can copy or try the button again. Also, it would probably be worth a duckduckgo search if you still can't find it: https://courts.wa.gov/content/publicupload/eclips/2023%2005%2010%20Transgender%20minors%20protected%20from%20parents%20under%20new%20WA%20law.pdf
