I think this is transphobic.

I wonder what releases the Drs. performing these irreversible procedures are having the kid and their family sign to try and avoid lawsuits if she decides in a few years they made a mistake?

I am not sure if I have mentioned this but I used to work in Insurance and I was never involved in Medical Malpractice but I did do Professional Indemnity.

 

When I first heard about this the liability side was the first thing I thought of. If I was in charge of the Hospitals Risk Management, and we are talking about Mega Corporations, I would be shouting NOOOOOOOOOO.

 

How are you going to persuade a court that somebody who wants to chop their ####### off is of sound mind? It is a contradiction in terms. And then add children into the equation? Put it in front of a Jury?, just a question of how big the cheque will be.

What sane person would even allow a child to make such a decision.  It is beyond belief.

I assume legally they are making the decision.

 

There are a lot of weird people around? It does seem fashionable.

Oh but it will be I had no idea this will ruin my life (2-3 years after the surgery) and now I want to go back. Parents should just do what Europe is doing and focus on mental health issues (therapy), cut off internet/tiktok and similar bullpoop and kid will outgrow the "need" for gender affirming care.

Well I see a couple of things going on.  You can have a parent that is sort of like a pageant parent looking for their own attention by promoting the fact they have a trans child.  You can have parents that are given a Sophie’s Choice by a medical professional with the choice of either doing this, or seeing their child commit suicide.  And of course there are the groomers out there and some states making laws (guess which ones) which allow the children to make the decision without the parents input.  I am sure there are other avenues, but it is amazing this country, at least those in the tolerant Left, is allowing this to be done on children.  SMH.  My thought is if a child can make this life altering decision, why is owning a firearm, or buying alcohol still restricted.

This is so well said.  What it demonstrates to me, since almost all of this push in the US is coming from one political ideology, is that those on the Left in the US do not care about children.  The interesting thing is often the Left in the US seems to follow the progressives from Europe, but in this case European actions are being ignored by the Left groomers and activists.

And minors can't get tattoos, but they can get their wieners cut off.
