[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that most of those in favor of minors having "gender-affirming" surgeries and hormonal treatment are probably also completely aghast at the idea of Wyoming's marriage law - which currently has no minimum age.  In that case, you find it reprehensible that children could be married (I do too, btw).  You probably also know that it's considered statutory rape if an adult engages in sex with a minor.  Why?  Because according to the law, minors are not capable of consenting to sex with an adult.

And yet in this instance, you're claiming that a minor - a child - should be able to decide to have life-changing SURGERY and hormone treatment.  The cognitive dissonance is deafening.  [/quote]

[b]Some things you know, like your gender[/b]. Some things can't wait or won't have the same results if you wait, like medical treatment. Some things should never be tolerable, like raping children. I don't see how allowing my child to have treatment for gender dysphoria after much consideration and consulting multiple doctors equates to marrying a child off and letting an adult have sex with her on a regular basis. I'm not sure why that's confusing for you either. [/quote]

This is not true.  The point of gender dysphoria is that gender isn't known.

Other forms of body dysphoria, fwiw, are not treated affirmatively.  Anorexia, bulimia, etc.  How is gender dysphoria different?[/quote]
