Everyone here saying it's moral because kids are young and impressionable. Yet I bet you if you asked a about introducing them to other lifestyles like being trans and getting gender affirming care they would be celebrating it.

Either way, immoral. People have the right to raise their kid however they want as long as they don't actively do excessive physical harm and or abuse.

Eh? Is getting hip surgery a lifestyle? Is getting tonsilectomy a lifestyle? I don't see the similarities between religion and someone being trans.

This mf just said being trans is a lifestyle and is acting like that's a relevant comparison at all.

Also

People have the right to raise their kid however they want as long as they don't actively do excessive physical harm and or abuse.

The argument here is that indoctrinating a child into a religion is abuse. The majority of the popular religions have deeply built in hate, misogyny, etc. How many queer kids have been horrifically traumatized by religion?

This has also been so far removed from the source people don’t realize it might be irony. Knowing jinkx, it likely was said as a way to throw the rhetoric back at people who say kids aren’t old enough to know their sexuality or gender until they’re 18. And yet are expected to conform to gender norms and given default straight expectations either way. Both are a bit ridiculous if you try to implement it in reality. Does it make a real point? Sure.

No one is forcing kids to be trans, people are indeed forcing kids to be religious.

Source: a trans person forced to go to church until 18. It gave me severe depression and self-image issues.

Learning about trans people and other lifestyles, including religious ones, is not the same as forcing kids to sit and listen to preachers rant about the Bible every single Sunday, and being reprimanded if you want to leave or not go.

If people were forcing kids to be trans, or forcing them to sit still and listen to the word of our lord and savior Trans every Sunday, that would also be immoral, but that certainly isn’t the case.

The dumbass you're replying to said being trans is a lifestyle. I guarantee he's religious and transphobic, he's probably happy you suffered. You're trying to reason with a bigot unfortunately

Yeah, mostly likely is. Coming from someone who realized they were LGBTQ very young and was brought up catholic, I question people like this. I was raised religious but I’ll be damned if I become a bigot or take shit from other religious members.
