It’s literally not up to you decide when a person can or should transition[/quote]

In our society we protect children.  They’re not allowed to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, get a tattoo, go to a tanning salon.   Yet we’re allowing them to surgically alter their bodies and take hormones.  A 4000% increase in girls seeking treatment for gender issues is a cause for serious concern.  We should be looking at why so many girls want to opt out of womanhood and boys opt out of manhood.  It’s not out of line to raise the alarm over this.  [/quote]

Are you raising an alarm or are you trying to tell other people what they can do with their bodies?
[/quote]

Do you have a counter-argument, or are you trying to dodge the question?[/quote]

What question?

Sounds like [b]you want to tell other people what they can do with their bodies[/b]. As a woman who values bodily autonomy, I have a problem with that.

[/quote]

NP here. So...since what is being specifically discussed here is changes to the bodies of minors, do you feel that restrictions on tattoos for minors should be lifted? Restrictions on cigarettes and alcohol for minors? [/quote]

I think families should work with their doctors to make those decisions. They don't need other people involved in medical decisions. 
[/quote]

By that logic, [b]families should be the ones to decide if their children are drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes and there should be no laws prohibiting this[/b].[/quote]

[b]Sure. As long as parents go talk to their kids' doctors and ask about the use of alcohol and cigarettes. [/b]

[/quote]

Not PP, but thanks for admitting that you don’t care about minors’ health or safety. It’s pretty refreshing.[/quote]

That’s not what I said at all.  :roll: 
[/quote]

You said as long as parents talk to a doctor first, children should be allowed to do physically harmful things like smoking and drinking. You agreed that there should be no laws prohibiting children from doing these things. [/quote]
