You can't just walk into a doctors office and say My KiD wAnTs a GeNdEr ChAnGe and get surgery. That's not how it fucking works. Go educate yourself, your ignorance is palpable.
THE FACTS ABOUT GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE
●Every credible medical organization – representing over 1.3 million doctors in the United States – calls for age-appropriate gender-affirming care for transgender and non-binary people.
●Sexual orientation and gender identity are real concepts recognized by major medical and mental health associations — including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Psychological Association and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry — as part of the normal spectrum of human experience.
●“Transition-related” or “gender-affirming” care looks different for every transgender and non-binary person.
●Parents, their kids, and doctors make decisions together, and no medical interventions with permanent consequences happen until a transgender person is old enough to give truly informed consent.
●Gender transition is a personal process that can include changing clothes, names, and hairstyles to fit a person’s gender identity. Some people take medication, and some do not; some adults have surgeries, and others do not. How someone transitions is their choice, to be made with their family and their doctor.
●Therapists, parents and health care providers work together to determine which changes to make at a given time are in the best interest of the child
●ALL gender-affirming care is:
Age-appropriate
Medically necessary
Supported by all major medical organizations
Made in consultation with medical and mental health professionals AND parents
And in many cases, this care is lifesaving!
I'm not going to trust the the AMA, or the APA, or any other accredited major medical institution. But I'll trust Youtube.
Holy. Fucking. Christ.
That "ALL" is literally, and simply, defining the guidelines of what gender affirming care is.
You are far too dumb to continue arguing with. If simple reading comprehension is an issue for you, then there is no point arguing about the complexities of gender and identity.
🤡
You can’t take the hard line of “ALL” when people like this exist,
I'm not taking the hard line of 'ALL', you muppet. I'm taking the same stance as over 1.3 million doctors in this country do: That this is a real problem for many and guidlines need to exist on how to handle it.
Lol what?? Strayed from guidelines? Those are medical guidelines. Go back and ACTUALLY try and read what I posted. 🤡
My daughter is 13 and is a self-described omnisexual, but mostly interested in girls.
So she gets constantly bullied.
That seems to go against your claim.
How exactly do you think she's going to find a girlfriend if no one knows she wants a girlfriend?
I thought you said kids had to be LGBT in order to be accepted. What you're saying now sounds like the opposite.
Congrats on your C+ in your intro to formal logic class you took for your one philosophy requirement in college
