I would argue that toying around with your hormones while you have upwards of a 90% chance of simply growing out of your confused state is a pretty big pitfall. Meanwhile, I’ve been to a lot of parties and a bottle of Smirnoff was usually associated with a 90% chance of having a good time.
Oh, I’m not disputing that, girls definitely grow faster and go through puberty sooner than boys, that’s just a medical fact.
We’re not discussing reassignment surgery.
Right, as I mentioned multiple times, making life decisions is a collaborative, group effort. Children absolutely do make some of their own decisions, however, and it's important to give them a small bit of autonomy early on which slowly expands.
YOU stay away from children with your degenerate Christofascist indoctrination. Leaves kids permanently stunted, both mentally and socially.
And a higher-than-average chance of death or being drugged/raped. There are risks associated with everything, so for roughly the tenth time: don't try to tell others what risks they can and cannot take, lest you invite them to take control of your life in return.
We make those decisions on behalf of minors precisely because there are risks associated with them. When you’re talking about allowing children to make baby steps in developing responsibility and autonomy, step one probably shouldn’t be allowing them to wreck their early development. Maybe start with a puppy. Also, you should’ve been there - there was an elevated risk of awesome with higher-than-average chances of a great time. No rapes, but there was a lot of hot chicks going wild, so there’s that.
Almost like most things in life aren't strictly good or bad, and perspective matters a helluva lot.
Good or bad are moralist terms with no meaning outside of context. Half of the things you regularly advocate as “good” come across as “bad” to someone with my mindset. In order to make objective determinations you have to put those concepts in a wood chipper and look at data. You want to help the most people with the least intervention possible in order to maximise liberty while minimising harm. If GID is overwhelmingly alleviated by puberty in a ridiculously gross amount of cases then the justification for medical intervention is slim - there are excellent odds that doing nothing at all will sort the issue out. In fact, you could argue that trying to *prevent* puberty from taking place naturally when it’s the one thing that is proven to resolve gender confusion *in most cases* is harmful in and out of itself. Intervention is only required in edge cases where there’s no other option *but* to medicate the patient, but that would require extreme conditions. Drugs should be the absolute last resort when inaction deepens the problem and psychological and/or psychiatric intervention fails to yield results. What you’re advocating comes across as using drugs as a pause button since “they’re just blockers” and the kid can “resume puberty” at their leisure - that’s not how it works. I mentioned Peter Pan once and I’ll mention it again - more often than not, just letting a child grow up is the correct course of action.
You don't allow children to make decisions that will affect them for the rest of their lives.
We're not the ones mutilating children, making them infertile and unable to have kids in the future and calling it ""healthcare"". You people are sick and evil and I'm tired of pretending that you are not. You would make Mengele proud.
We can prevent kids from being indoctrinated into the trans cult by telling them the truth about the mutilating surgeries that will cost them 100's of thousands of dollars in less than 10 years.
I'm adult and can make my own medical decisions. Children cannot, unless you want to afford them other rights, like owning a gun.
The USA is practically the only country in the world that still practices it. In the west for sure.
We're way beyond that now. You don't trust parents to make decisions for their own kids either. You just want absolute control over everybody. Thank god the constitution and every true American is anti-fascist.
Mutilating, drugging, abusing, raping, take your pick. Christians have been at it longer than anybody.
Wrong, indoctrinating kids into your own cult won't stop them from educating themselves in the future.
If you don't trust anyone else to make their own medical decisions, there's no reason for anyone else to trust you with yours. Especially given that you're probably basing those decisions on a book that was written when covering yourself with leeches was the prevailing treatment for any sickness or disease.
The real fascists are the left. You guys proved that during Covid when the majority of the left supported putting the unjabbed in camps and force injecting them. You don't trust parents with children's education. You advocate for teachers to keep secrets from the parents. Can you project any fucking harder there, Scooter?
Past horrid behavior from other groups does not excuse your current horrid behavior. Grow the fuck up and come up with real arguments.
When they are educating themselves as adults.

We should also absolutely ban Intersex surgeries on infants since they tend to cause a lot of pain, can cause infertility, and also social issues in the future.
That's why there is a whole set of professionals in the process. They are not self-medicating.
Nah they always believe they'll be accepted to the "in" group and thus have immunity to their own rules. If not for double-standards they'd have no standards at all.
Well we know why you'd support DeSantis and Trump, you're from Russia.
Nah we're arguing in favor of letting people make their own decisions. You want to mandate conformity by law, and make even minor disobedience punishable by death or severe violence. You want the fourth reich to spawn from the sewage in the US, but that shit ain't ever happening on my watch. I'm tired of playing coy with you motherfuckers.
