I agree.

People own their bodies.

So children own their bodies too.

If you disagree, you commit a contradiction because then you cant explain who gets to own child's body instead of the child, nor you can explain why do you get to decide about that.

No way.  

For one, you are already assuming that the kids are Trans.  Who says this is true?  The kid?  If that is the case, then when they think they are a puppy, then we should treat them such?  Obviously not.  

For two, They are freakin' kids!  We don't let them drive until 16, smoke till 18, drink till 21.  Why?  Because they don't have the maturity to make good decisions and need mature parents to help them along the way.  Why is it that their sexuality and gender is easily decided by them?  They don' know what they are doing at such a young age.

At what point do they own their own bodies?  What about ear piercing on babies?  Is that not a parent decision?  How about circumcision?  Same concept.  We never just let our kids do what they want due to them "owning their own bodies".  You have a serious contradiction to your own parenting if you allow the gender decision to be done by your kids, but then make every other decision for them.

There is no point at which they dont.

They own their bodies from beginning to end.

No, its not. Parents dont have right to rape their kids.

How about circumcision?
No, parents dont have the right to rape their  kids.

We never just let our kids do what they want due to them "owning their own bodies".
"Is = should" fallacy. Kids should be allowed to do whatever they want, as long as its not claiming ownership of others.

Really, parents are in the "circle of life" for a reason and it is not only for the physical support of feeding and clothing a child.

But I guess that is what the government is for and really no need for parents.  Just look at the black population with 90% of black kids who don't know who their dad is.  I'm sure I could look up some stats, but don't have time, about the destruction of a society if it was only ran by children making their own decisions.

Tell me what rights does a parent have with their children?

This is probably the dumbest thing I ever read. Black people are famous for taking away choices from children.

Same rights they have with anyone else, I already told you.

Ah.  Well, in that case, the child was "raped" into existence.  Terrible world we live in with parents loving their children and all.

I think they can set their own gender. If they want to biologically change it, I think maybe a 13-16 age limit is okay. They are kids who sometimes make bad choices, so I'm not completely against some sort of age restriction.

Wait, so if they could make a life altering choice, that could be a bad choice, you are okay with them making that decision for themselves?  Even with an age of 13-16?  That would have been the worst age for me to make any decision.  How stable is anyone at that age?

We dont agree, unless you imply that we both think that you are an idiot.

So if you agree with that, we can leave it at that.

Well obviously they need parental permission too. Minors can legally do lots of bad things for them, but they need parental permission, so that brings the numbers way down.

Children are subjected to social trend and will respond accordingly.

A developing human organism doesn't know what "trans" is, until it is programmed with the relevant data.

Just as it does not understand it's internal sexual chemistry until it has develop accordingly, both in terms of physiology and intellect.


I would suggest that societies have developed, already allowing children access to the relevant data.

So when it occurs, they just interpret internal signalling relative to social trend.

And liberal societies have decided that this is OK.


I'm not sure that this is a good thing.

But why would it be a bad thing.

Maybe it is inevitable.

Maybe trends will change.


Though the rod of iron will only incite resentment and not solve anything.

The rod of iron has unsuccessfully attempted to oppress sexuality for millennia.


To late, the data is already out there.

As is the medical and surgical potential.

As are the necessary programmed adults.

Yeah, legally Minors shouldn't be able to get a sex changing surgery without parental permission. They can change their gender all they want, and I'm a-ok with that, but sex changing surgery is a big decision. I don't really agree with all the people who say you are homophobic just for not letting minors get gender affirming care. It's a position I don't agree with, but I understand it.

I don’t think even with parental permission it should be legal. After 18, do whatever you want.

Some children dont live to 18, so your logic is flawed.

Agreed. Too many parents have been going down the Munchausen by proxy syndrome rabbit hole when it comes to their children. Just look what the mother of Jazz Jennings did to him. He really didn’t think he was a girl when he was a boy. Now his life is screwed until the day he dies.

And as of late school teachers and administrators are being given more rights than the children’s own parents; and a few states already have it codified into law where kids can be taken away from their parents if their parents don’t agree with their transition, put into group homes or foster homes that will further that Munchausen by proxy via the state. 

Disgusting world we live in.
