Biden administration endorses transgender youth sex-change operations, 'top surgery,' hormone therapy

So, Biden is doubling down on trans athletes and hormone/surgery for minors.

I'm not sure if *this* would be the line I'd draw in the sand as a democrat...but it should make for an interesting election season.
 
What?! Since when do you feel you have any right to say anything about the medical decisions we make for our kids ?
Well if you are a Christian scientist and want to pray cancer away for your kid I will have a say in that
 
I think elective life altering surgery for minors must be carefully considered.
Consider if a 10 year old boy or girl, came to their Parents and asked that they be sterilized?
Decisions like this are always made with the guidance of doctors. No doctor is going to sterilize a kid cause their parents okayed it. Don't be silly.

How so? You can't prevent people from praying.

Yet, gender reassignment surgery is a much more intrusive operation, and likely also leads to sterilization.

Okay, let's consider it.

What excuse is given to the doctor for sterilization?
 
I sure can prevent you stopping me from treating that kid
euh no. You are a person on the internet. Now I don't agree with the pray it away people but by law if they use that and the kid dies they can be held liable for the child's death.
Btw unless you are a licensed doctor or nurse I'd not let you treat anything. Not to be rude.

Ok let's play this game. You have no say if someone kills their kid


We can make this as stupid as you want

And to have such a surgery would be decided by the parents and the doctor. It would be like me wanting to weigh in in people enlarging their sex organs. Not my monkeys not my circus. You do you.
 
False equivalence. Being trans is not a communicable virus. Do you understand that?
So some medical choices are okay to be taken out of parent’s hands and others aren’t?

There is a reason we do not allow minors to make like altering decisions.

Yes. Parents should vaccinate their children against infectious diseases for the safety of the other children they come in contact with.

As he said, being trans isn't contagious.
 
There is a reason we do not allow minors to make like altering decisions.
Where does it say that minors alone will make the decision?
 
Okay. And tell us what doctor will sterilize a 10 year old because it's what the kid wants?
I do not know, but what doctor would preform gender reassignment surgery on a child?
I think both would be wrong, the mind of the minor is not developed enough to make such decisions.
