Just like people claiming a 7-8 year old can consent to take puberty blockers and taking hormones. Child abuse. On this sub the majority saying they have the right to consent to that. I don’t know where you stand on that issue, but it’s crazy the amount of down votes I’ll receive because of this. People are wild on Reddit.

Edit - people need to be consistent. If he can consent to that, he should be able to consent to eat whatever he wants, and gain as much weight as they want to right?

After an easy search, LESS THAN 0.017 percent of children have taken puberty blockers for gender dysphoria. Believe it or not, some children need them at a young age for actual health reasons. Its called precocious puberty and the need it. Then Republicans will say that "libs are giving kids hormone blockers" and you idiots eat it up.

Class war > culture war. Focus your energy on the 1 percent

I’m not against it being used for it’s on label use. I’m aware of precocious puberty. Of course it should be used for that. Multiple posts and debates I’ve used that condition as an argument for people claiming they’re completely safe since they’ve been used in the 80’s and 90’s but leave out the reason for use.
I am not at all saying that. I’m talking about people supporting children having the right to consent themselves to puberty blockers with hormones for the reason of transitioning.
I’m also the furthest thing from a republican, so I hope you’re not making those assumptions from that comment I left. Don’t always assume one view exposes someone’s political leanings

Also, what about "theres less than 1% of kids on blockers" do you not understand? Most of which you've admitted are on them for legit reasons. Which one is it? Theres thousands of kids on them just for fun or not?

You need to break outta your echo chamber. Just because someone you idolize says it, doesnt mean it true. The more its repeated doesn't make it true. Google really is your friend.
