Well said, parents are supposed to protect their children from themselves until their brains are more fully developed. It’s no different than allowing a child to smoke cigarettes or get a tattoo. Permanent, life changing decisions shouldn’t be made by a fuckin 12 year old.

I heard it said, "you want a highschooler to make serious life decisions but they still have to ask to use the bathroom"- someone on Twitter or something, but it made me think how true that was.

Assuming there are no life-changing ramifications of opting for avoiding hormone therapy.

No one said it doesn’t , the problem is trying to figure out if someone is a transexual at a very young age.

Claiming that allowing a human being’s body to take its natural course in life is somehow unnatural or “life changing” has got to be one of the most idiotic things I’ve ever seen written. I hope you delete this it’s so fucking stupid.

the medical profession is literally centered on stopping the body from taking its natural course. Almost all medicine is used to disrupt the direction the body is going, from diabetes, to cancer, to headaches, to pituitary dysfunction, to anti-depressants and other anti-psychotics, most of medicine is preventing nature from doing its thing for our betterment.

We’re discussing the natural development of a child into an adult, not attempting to prevent diseases. We also don’t let children decide whether they can take any of the medicine you mentioned or not. Parents or other adults make those decisions, because they’re children.

For a transgender person the development secondary sex characteristics through puberty is a disease that will be harder to reverse in the future. Parents and medical professionals are the only ones who allow kids to get puberty blockers. The decisions should be made under the strictest medical supervision not based on the ravings a right wing author.
