Most of the people here posting that they don't want children to transition would still disagree with their adult children transitioning.

There are other ways we should be helping people with gender dysphoria besides making them lifelong medical patients.
I sympathize with those who are not at peace in their bodies. But sympathy and wanting the best for someone does not mean I have to jump into that hole with them.

So you're confirming you don't want adults to transition either.

Why do you think that your opinion on this is more important than the people themselves? Adults have bodily autonomy and should be given free reign to do what they want with their own bodies. You're basically a third party observer that doesn't have a say nor should you on what others do with their bodies.

Dp. This discussion is about minors transitioning. Conversations about adults should be a separate thread.

When your argument against people transitioning is that they'll be "medical patients for life", you've expanded the scope of the discussion far past childhood.

You know full well there are limits on bodily autonomy. There wouldn't be suicide wards if there weren't.

Adults with body dysphoria don't always have an easy time finding a doctor willing to remove healthy body parts - transition surgery is somewhat different in this respect but I think that's pretty new.

That's a separate discussion than this one.

It really isn't a different issue. You want to ban surgery for children as a creeping ban on everyone. I'm fine with banning them under 18. Once you're 18, you're an adult.

This doesn't make sense. Did you mistype?

If the voters want to restrict gender care in publicly funded settings, ok. I don’t like it but I can accept it. But that has to be going forward, not retroactive. And no medical records should be shared.

The government regulates private health care, not just "publicly funded settings".

Genital surgery is very vague. It could be any number of things that are not related to gender reassignment.

You want body autonomy, do it with your own money, not the tax payers.

I have financial autonomy.

Wait, I thought this was about insurance companies, not taxpayer funding?

+1

And 56 whole cases across 40,000+ trans kids? How many of those “trans” kids are intersex? Is it alright with you transphobes if kids born with some combination of both sets of genitals get one set removed as they’ve completed their screening? Is that okay or do they need to keep both in order to satisfy you, even if they’re waiting to start dating?

We are talking about procedures that have life-long consequences when these people are minors and do not have the critical thinking or judgment to know the full effects of their decisions.

But Republicans want them to be able to get married, have babies and work in meat packing plants but draw the line at their identity???
