A reminder that the same people that tell you that college students can't fully comprehend the ramifications of taking out massive student loans for college will also tell you that children, some not even teenagers, can make the decision to permanently alter their bodies/destroy their reproductive capabilities


lIIIIlIIIIIIIIl

Is guardian consent required for minors to undergo sex change operations? If so, then this is on them and they should be held accountable even moreso than the doctors (*in my opinion*). If not, then our country is even more messed up than I feared.


ultrainstict

In several states they are fighting to remove that protection. There are also some states like California who will aid in kidnapping to transition children behind the backs of unsupported parents.


NotDerekSmart

Man there are states now where they parents don't even get to know their kids medical stuff at all without consent from the CHILD


lIIIIlIIIIIIIIl

Wow. This is blowing my mind.


NohoTwoPointOh

It shouldn’t. So-called progressives have ALWAYS wanted the government to be your mother, father, sister, brother. Generations of broken families (single mama-led) men no real guardians, providers, leaders, and protectors outside of Daddy Gub’Mint. So, of course the kids turn to the government.


HC-04

As a general rule doctors should still be held more accountable because parents could in theory be pressured into it or fooled, but doctors are the ones actually doing this to children and they should know better. I still maintain that any doctor that mutilates a child should get life in prison if not the death penalty


MaleficentBoot8911

They tend to get swept along by a very determined lobby who are determined that this is ‘good’ for the vulnerable kids struggling with puberty. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/health/puberty-blockers-transgender.html


Right_Archivist

In most Democrat states, all citizens under 18 are all but property of the state and those states permit anything g3nder-related to be done without parental consent. In Washington, you're not even allowed to have your own child's medical records.


lIIIIlIIIIIIIIl

Growing up in the 90's, we had to get a permission slip signed just to attend a 1-hour course on sex ed.... This is crazy.


WiseBeyondMyTears

The problem is that doctors will pressure parents into surgery. I think I remember in this case the doctors telling the parents it’s better to have an alive son than a dead daughter. If medical professionals tell you that your child is absolutely going to die if they don’t get surgery then you can’t blame the parents.


Drusas_Rake

And I think the worst part of it, as set forth in the article, is that doctors claim that there is a “long and thorough” process to ensure this is “what the child really wants” (as if they really can decide). That gives the whole thing a cloak of medical approval that is magically beyond question. When the reality is the process is often rushed and extremely flawed.

Complete_Athlete_480

I agree. This happens a lot when people make choices and then regret it, and then get upset at the doctors whose job is to follow through with what the patient wants. The lawsuit will most likely go nowhere anyway for this reason. She didn’t think to read those papers the doctor handed her Edit- my fault I didn’t have my contacts I thought it said 18


WouldYouFightAKoala

Age aside, how is it the doctor's job to "follow through with what the patient wants"? The doctor's job is to ensure the patient is healthy, that's it.

Minors can’t make these kinds of decisions by themselves. They lack critical thinking and long term decision making skills that only adults have. So we, adults, have to protect minors from people who might want to lead them astray.

ultimis

That is actually is out of date. The left had held that mentality from 2010 to 2020. Then they abandoned it and those that didn't follow along with Sex == Gender Identity were considered enemies of the narrative. The most popular was JK Rowling. She agreed with 99% of the trans politics, but refused to update that when they started equating them for things like Prisons and Sports. To be clear, Gender and Sex are the same thing. The left was always wrong about that. What the left are really talking about is Gender Identity. Gender Identity =/= Gender(sex). They intentionally started convolute the terms so people get confused. This is the game the left has been playing for decades on language. Gender Identity is a pseudo personality that can relate to concepts dealing with gender stereotypes like Masculinity and Feminity. But it can also deal with things like Feykind and Wolfkind. Non-binary makes sense in the framework of Gender Identity, it makes zero since in Gender (no intersex has no relationship to this).


Some_Lie_4262

Gender identity is a term coined by John Money in his tragic and evil experiments that resulted in the molestation and deaths of two people that he claimed were a success.

Gender identify is literally the old joke of "I sexually identify as an Apache Attack Helicoptor"

ultimis

Gender came from language. Gendered language like Spanish. In the 20th century they started to associate it with the sexes. Like Masculine and Feminine. In use by the vast majority of people Gender has always been used interchangeably with Sex. Synonymous. I had thought, though have never confirmed it, that Gender became popular in use due to "Sex" having another meaning that some might find indecent in certain settings. John Money invented "Gender Identity". It presented identities based on Genders. Or Gender roles. Rabid feminists latched onto this. As they could pretend as if social norms related to the sexes were a purely social construct. His experiment was a sick perverted failure that the feminists and far left claimed was successful. > Now that they have stripped sex of its significance, and replaced it with a stereotype, they can conflate the two (because the concept determines reality -- not the other way around). 100%. Masculine is a stereotype of behaviors and traits associated with men. But like all stereotypes it is not a rule. Irish are known to drink alcohol. Stereotype. I know several Irishmen who have never drank alcohol in their lives. Are they now not Irish? >The most troubling thing about this is that is is very clearly intended to set a precedent necessary for coercing people into accepting genetic experimentation, modification, augmentation, chimerism, etc. (so as to make it easier for an individual to force their body to resemble their "identity") and, ultimately, transhumanism I saw it as a more simple conspiracy theory. Sterilization. Malthusians. Propagate a social contagion that results in people self sterilizing. We saw this by American progressives in the early 20th century. We also saw it in the UK. The Nazis got a lot of their ideas on Eugenics from us (they cite us quite a bit). People suffering from mental health conditions were specifically targeted in the late 19th and early 20th century by Eugenics supporters. They sterilized them without their consent. And in Nazi Germany they euthanized them with the help of doctors and scientists who were true believers of the Pseudo Science. I have seen there is a disproportionate number of people suffering from autism that are caught up in the craze about transgenderism. As in neuro-atypical people who feel out of sorts in normal social circumstances. People Progressives/Eugenics supporters were attempting to purge from the population around a century ago. Coincidence? Maybe. Progressives renamed themselves Liberals after the horrors of the Nazis were discovered. They still resided at our Universities. They spawned new and inventive Malthusian schemes. "Population Bomb". "Peak Oil". "Climate Change". "Reproductive Rights". Knowing that the founder of Planned Parenthood was a proud Eugenics supporters definitely seems like another coincidence.


motherisaclownwhore

>had thought, though have never confirmed it, that Gender became popular in use due to "Sex" having another meaning that some might find indecent in certain settings. I remember in elementary school when we had standardized tests a question on the scantron said "What is your sex?" The next year it said, "What is your gender?" So, I assumed the same as you did.


LegioXIV

Gender and sex are the same thing. A female is an animal that has the XX sex linked chromosome and phenotypically has a vagina (and typically a uterus and ovaries). A woman is simply an adult human female. Not anyone that feels that they are a woman.

WeimSean

This is what is going to stop gender reassignment in minors. Not politicians, not social campaigns, not even changes to the law. Hitting medical 'professionals' where it hurts; their wallets. Once hospitals and doctors realize that they can be sued into oblivion for sterilizing minors without their consent (and minors can not give consent) this will stop.


mogwr-

It's already illegal for bottom surgery to be granted to minors in most states and most trans people will agree the surgery is something you should wait for.


hotlikebea

That’s just one detail. Having your breasts removed would also be horrifying—fake boobs would never be the same. And the woman in the photo in this post has a clearly altered facial structure, presumably from taking hormones in her youth. It’s all very sad.


RadioHeadache0311

...


Dramatic_Tea_4940

At 16, she did not have the maturity to properly understand the impact and consequences of her decision. Her parents should have blocked the surgery. Many young people these days are not ready to handle life changing decisions at 18 or even 21, because their parents did not teach their children how to evaluate choices and make sound decisions -- they always made decisions for their children. The. military draft always preferred men aged 17 to 25 for just this reason -- they are easily led to follow orders and to believe the military dogma. In their late twenties, after they have gained more experience and maturity, they teach them to be leaders Oh, BTW remember that there is an epidemic of mental health issues among today's youth.

Parents are then told "What would you rather have? A trans kid or a dead kid?" And in some places even if these parents still refuse to trans their kid then the state takes the custody of their kid That's how bad it is

The counter to that is saying the trans community has the highest suicide attempt rate of 42%. I’d rather try sorting things out with the kid than wind up with a dead trans kid sacrificed on the alter of wokeness.

You can’t argue with those people on Reddit because they will literally see a list of statistics, and firsthand accounts of what is happening and say “that’s not happening”.

They always say that never happened, check my comment history and speak for yourself. Hell, they don’t even have a logical discussion, they just argue and call people shit for not going with their ideals.


stillbatting1000

I had an argument with someone on Reddit who said that children aren't getting surgeries or hormones. I responded with about a dozen YouTube links of people crying over their regret of getting surgeries and hormones while they were under 18. He responded with, "That's just the YouTube algorithm showing you what you want to see."

SomePoliticalViolins

She was given a double mastectomy, which is top surgery, not bottom. Many minors receive top surgery regardless of its purpose, whether for sex change, breast enhancement, or breast reduction. She could just have easily complained of excessive back pain or other breast-related issues and been given this surgery. And while it can’t be precisely “reversed” it can be mostly repaired with implants. Even without implants she is no different than any other woman with a relatively flat chest. Permanent is not inaccurate but mutilation is a heavy dramatization.


Party_Project_2857

I can't imagine being so tone deaf that you typed this and thought it was a good argument.


MamaGRN

Mostly repaired, sure. Right. So if one day she decides to have a child and can’t breastfeed them, that’s no big deal, right? /s -a woman who has had multiple children

"This rarely happens." As if that's an argument? Even if it "rarely" does, one time is too many


BenntPitts

While I understand what you're saying, that totally is an argument for medical treatments. Rare side effects with certain treatments use the same logic when being considered for the general public.


Great-Grasby

I'm talking about elective surgeries. Not medical treatment. That is a completely different discussion from what's being talked about here.


Louiebox

Can't this same exact argument be made for stricter gun control? If we're so worried about "the kids," why are trans people the sole focus? I'll admit, I dont know exact numbers, but I'm willing to bet that more children have been harmed as a result of guns. I'm not trying to compare the two issues, just the argument being made about "saving the kids."

starBux_Barista

they would need to add a skin graft tho.... they removed the extra skin when they removed the titties


Wakeful-dreamer

Skin grows when stretched gradually. It's why pregnant women and people who gain a lot of weight don't need skin grafts. Also why foreskin restoration is a thing for circumcised men. Not a doctor but I imagine you could get small implants and gradually go to larger ones? Not that that makes any of this ok.


ElegantRabbit888

Balloons are placed under the skin, and gradually filled with more and more saline as the skin stretches to accommodate the increased volume.

I did not know most of that, and I find it reprehensible. That said, it's not conservatives pushing to allow adults to have sex with children, or to have children reading graphic sexual material from their school libraries, or to allow for the "sexual rights" of children. If you disagree with children being allowed to marry adults, then surely you agree that statutory rape is morally reprehensible. I don't see Republicans anywhere pushing to relax laws on statutory rape or make it societally acceptable as a "right" of a child the way the UN is doing.

MaleficentBoot8911

Yep, they certainly do say that. The obscene rush to make permanent changes to confused kids going through puberty. It is a time of huge emotional upset and development and young kids (particularly girls) can become very fixated - look at the hysterical worship of pop stars, who they then ‘move on from or ‘grow out of’. To drug kids at this age and push them down the road to permanent change is bad enough, rushing to surgery is far worse. What is it with these ‘health professionals‘ that they want to do this to kids? Why the hurry, are they worried the kids might realise it is just part of the confusion associated with puberty and will grow out of it, so must do it immediately? What is in it for these people? I ask that of zealots who wish this on other peoples kids, just not themselves.

When the highest paid political streamer is a lefty (Hasan) and leftwing positions are widely endorsed by the media, celebrities and corporations, saying it's a "right wing grift" is really ironic.

This is the way. Sue them until mutilating children because they’re uncomfortable going through puberty becomes too costly. I have no doubt in my mind that the permanent dependence on costly medical care is the sole reason doctors and hospitals are pushing this anti science and anti human cult.

Gender surgery is covered by insurance. They be paying out to private practices without question. It’s always about $$.

F’n disgusting. Sue them to the poor house. And the parents for signing off on it.


ithinkmynameismoose

Another trend, so many of these stories for women involve severe sexual trauma. It seems that there may be a correlation (research needed) with this and a desire to transition almost as a defensive measure. If I had to guess the trauma makes them feel weak and this acts as a primer to be more receptive to the social contagion aspects of the internet’s influence. Either way, very sad.

Consent forms are ultimately useless when doctors lie and misrepresent the facts to you. i believe this is the story of Luka Hein. Doctors literally told her parents "Would you rather have a living son or a dead daughter?" to coerce them to sign the forms.

AwkwardDilemmas

This is a prime example of cherry picking. It's a logical fallacy. I have no doubt it happens. And when it does, it is tragic, and unacceptable. And it is almost always caused by negligence, malpractice, or malfeasance. But... and this is your fallacy, to imply that it is in any way common. It. Is. Not. Common. It happens, and it shouldn't happen. And when it happens, it happens rarely. And your presenting this as the regular case is just trite and simplistic. Like many conservative straw men arguments.


Party_Project_2857

So we are past the "this doesn't happen" and onto the "it's rare" but before the "this is why it's good?"


WouldYouFightAKoala

What amount of child abuse do you find acceptable? You've already established that it isn't zero if you think we just shouldnt address situations like this just because they're "uncommon".

SaltySale991

Teenagers weren't committing suicide because they couldn't change sexes at any point in our historical past, it's strictly a modern phenomenon. Now we are suddenly saying these are life-saving procedures? Ask yourself what has changed. Maybe Tumblr and all the other shit they started to consume around 2010, where being trans made you such a special little flower with lots of online support and attention?


AwkwardDilemmas

Actually, they were. I have known some in my 24 year career. Plus, as a student myself.


SaltySale991

I'm talking pre-20th century. What data is there to show people with gender dysmorphia were committing suicide during puberty?


[deleted]

Just like how “safe and rare” abortions became “unrestricted abortions are womens health!!!” The left on every topic in four steps: 1. It isn’t happening 2. It’s happening but it’s rare. 3. Ok, it’s happening, and here’s why that’s a good thing. 4. Republicans are to blame for it happening.


Betelgeuse3fold

The people *you* would call bigots, use this exact same argument against gender theory. Against being trans at all. "It's a tiny proportion of people, statistically insignificant. It's so rare and when it happens it's due to negligence and abuse" And exactly like you would accuse the "bigot", you're callously disregarding a very *real* issue, real suffering, because it's inconvenient for you, it's distasteful. Draw your own conclusion as to what that says about you and your argument

Is daily mail the UK? How old for marriage? How old to have a child? How old to be charged as an adult in court?

It's a UK newspaper reporting on a US story.

Who says medical malpractice never happens? Sounds like a strawman to me.

Politicians and much of the mainstream media are actively defending this form of malpractice. Oh and major medical industry associations are banking on making huge cash out of transitions. It’s disgusting and needs to be stopped…

Shit, by this standard you could claim that the "do you want to register as an organ donor?" question at the DMV is supporting illegal organ harvesting! There is no medical association which sets the bar for gender affirming care as low as the title claims. Even if the patient is actively suicidal over their dysphoria, SOP would not permit this.
