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


Yeah, let's let the government decide who gets to keep their penis.
Here is an unbiased article on the topic. Where and how is the government deciding who gets to keep their penis?
 
I'm not sure what not really means.

Desistance happens before medical and/or surgical transition.
Detransition happens after.
The whole reference is about detransition.


We know it happens so for prepubescent kids that get HRT they would be disfigured

Are you making the point that if there is such high desistance rates in kids that we will see far higher detransition rates as well, as we lower the age for medical and surgical intervention? And at that point there will be irreversible harm?
If so, ok.

Wait until 18 and you dont disfigure any kids.....right?
 
Life is very short and very sad.

So if an adult wants to remove some breasts or a penis, s/he should have that right.

Some of them will discover later that they made a terrible mistake.

But we all make many terrible mistakes in our life.

All we can hope is that people who are considering such operations are able to get non-judgmental counseling before making the final decision.
An adult is responsible for their stupid decisions. A child is not fully responsible. In fact, children don't even posses the cognitive ability to make such serious decisions. Studies show the portion of the brain that allows analysis and decision making is not fully formed until the mid 20's. Nobody ought to be encouraging this children to have any kind of gender reassignment.
 
Did you read your own link? It lists studies that all found very low rates of detransitioning and often if they did it was only temporarily. Also those who got hormone treatment and surgeries had the lowest rates. The reasons cited usually relate to societal pressure, implying if that pressure want there they may not have detransitioned.
Yeah, and I'll bet you gobbled up all the studies showing how well the Covid vaccine worked, and then didn't as they reported. People like to think that if someone does a study, it's authoritative, but it ain't. I assume you read them all, right? That fact that you don't have problems with little children transgenderism on its face is breathtaking.
