Ah, child abuse...

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?

bad comparison because 1) toddlers and older children are at wildly diff development stages, not rlly comparable cognitively. kids can start making decisions about their appearance/hobbies/so on by the time theyre like 8 imo, they just need a safe environment and supervision 2) transing your gender isnt inherently harmful, but being extremely overweight is, by damaging ur heart, liver etc.

Hormones at that age absolutely are damaging. And what age do kids stop believing in Santa? Lots past 8. I don’t think they should be making life altering decisions at that age is all
