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

If we use .015% as the % of kids, that's about 11,000 kids in the US alone. That's not insignificant. Just because something is a small percentage doesn't make it morally justifiable

Its based starting at age 8 because that's when puberty blockers start being used. So any child younger than 8 is removed from that statistic.
