codymonster 8,564 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I actually SOMEWHAT agree with him. Personally, I wish instead of kids having to feel like they are the wrong gender, I wish parents would instead let kids be what they want to be and go from there. How wonderful would it be if gender stereotypes were thrown out the window? I honestly feel like life would be so much easier for so many kids. I feel like trans people have such a fight to go through their entire life because they are having to battle their nature-given sex. Instead, I wish we accepted our "sex" and then let people do what they want. If little Tommy wants a ponytail, give him a ponytail, and don't label it as boy or girl; label it as Tommy's style. I dunno, I know we have a long way to go to be in this space, but I do agree, I think it can be extremely damaging for trans kids who feel like a girl, become a girl, and then have to deal with their bodies fighting against them. I feel like once they "become" a girl, they are now stuck in this new "gender box". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe anyone under the age of 17/18 should have their body altered in these ways at all. Dressing differently and altering appearance, sure. But medically transitioning, absolutely not. You know I agree with your saying Surgery and chemicals should be decided once the person/kid is old enough like 17/18 maybe even 21 I remember being feminine when I was younger then all of a sudden I do like being a boy. . . my mentality played a huge role in this when I was younger. 🤖 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there is not enough sufficient research that shows if synthetic hormone treatment is safe for children. Can’t believe we’re even comparing the two right now. There really isn't actually. The molecules are identical. "Natural" and "synthetic" are buzzwords, they don't mean anything. The hormones produced by a transgender person's sexual organs are damaging and harmful to them by definition. Them being "natural" doesn't make them less harmful. The patients are informed they may not be able to have children in the future and their options are laid out for them. It is not your place to decide what is or isn't right for them. And "long term negative effects in the long run" is literally just wrong. What have you been reading? Lastly, there is a LOT of evidence that shows hormones are not safe for children, which is why no one is trying to give children hormones. But the entirety of human history shows that hormones are perfectly acceptable for pubescent age adolescents. I hope this news helps you rest easy at night. I too would have been horrified if I thought children were being given hormones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno 2,880 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I think it's all about fluidity and allowing the chips to fall wherever they may. Idk if anyone's going to find that offensive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindless 738 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I’ll never allow my child to pick it’s gender before hitting 16. There are too many stories of trans kids regretting their choice. Looking back at my childhood I can see how my mind was one big BLUR so no thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterAura 548 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Letting your child take puberty blockers/get surgery is child abuse, and not just alarming but disturbing. Children can’t make decisions like that. This shouldn’t even be a discussion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought being a girl was going to solve my problem of being gay. Now I’m twenty-three and I’m happy with my body. I hate identifying as a man but I wouldn’t want to have a different body. Sometimes age does play a role and you grown out of thinking one way like me. Yes to this. At that age, I wanted to be a girl too and would even pretend my towel was my dress. Lmao. Now being 26, I love my male body. I just get a bit upset now as a grown up, when I tell people, especially older generation, that I'm gay and they quickly reply "Oh. So you must be planning a sex change I'm assuming." No. I'm not. I feel like a child shouldnt go through a sex change till they're like 13 or 14 when they truly start feeling themselves.

TheSlash 14,539 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Well, he kinda has a point . I mean, kids at the age of 3 should not have to worry about their gender or sexuality ( at least not that conscious) but enjoy their childhood. You can worry about such things when you're older . Ew, David! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-pubescent children think gender is a costume, not an identity. They don’t have ANY comprehension of self-identity yet. Leave the kids alone.
