President Biden's administration has released a series of documents encouraging gender-reassignment surgery and hormone treatments for minors.

The Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Population Affairs released a document Thursday titled "Gender Affirming Care and Young People." The same day, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's National Child Traumatic Stress Network – another subset of the HHS – released a parallel document titled, "Gender-Affirming Care Is Trauma-Informed Care."

The HHS documents describe what it calls appropriate treatments for transgender adolescents, including: "'Top' surgery – to create male-typical chest shape or enhance breasts;" and "'Bottom' surgery – surgery on genitals or reproductive organs, facial feminization or other procedures."

I wonder how many supposed "small-government" conservatives will demand that the government stick its nose into matters that are none of their business.
 
Fake news

Interesting and typical liberal response and support for Biden. Do you have your Biden Decoder equipment to decipher his rhetoric or do we continue to listen to his handlers walking back his rhetoric?
 
Fake news

Sounds exactly like the type of leadership you want in this country

Try reading the article for Biden's actual quote.
 
I think the issue is surgery. No one is advocating children to get gender changing surgery, as far as I know. I didn't see anywhere in the gov site that advocates it.

Gender affirmation, as long as they are older kids, I'm for. But, below the 3rd grade, I do not support.
None of the documentation in the OP advocates it. What it does is list what gender affirming care is, it's benefits, and the various ways it is managed.
 
Good.

The bullying of transgender kids and people is highly annoying and counterproductive to the kids and their growing-up into responsible and self-confident members of society.

They don’t need Republicans to tell them what’s „best“ for them or their bodies, because they can and should make their own decisions.

After the migrant bullying, Republicans just needed another minor(ity) scapegoat to project their hate on.

Correct, and so the OP is false.
 
As long as it's reversible, and not harmful, I don't see the harm in it. But, you tell me.
It's not reversible. A boy would not go thru male puberty as a male and he is forever disfigured by that

The guy is trolling the room. What he does is reveal right wing hysterics, so the jokes on him.

If that's true, then it's wrong. But, I don't know the facts. You got some authoritative data on this?

How is a boy who skips puberty NOT disfigured? I'm sure I could look it up but....come on

No, sorry but this isn't a joke, this is about taxpayers funding a personal responsibility and choice issue. It is a state and local issue not a federal one
