    All I know is Democrats are mentally ill. There is so much science on this it’s ridiculous. Kids do not even know what they want until they are adults. Yet they give hormones to kids before they hit puberty that screws them up for the rest if there lives.

    Duoe, This thread should be merged with the thread about machine guns.

    Republicans are soo obsessed with transgenderism.
    Kinda makes you go hmmmm...

    Also, the studies show that less than 5% of the kids given puberty blockers/ and or cross gender hormones later regret that decision. Which means 95% were happy with the decision...

    The fact that libbies don’t seem to give a shit about mental health should scare you.

    Why are republicans so obsessed with this talking point that impacts such a small percentage of the country? I mean so many threads have been started by pubs on this topic. Soooo many.

    What? Are you that obtuse to not realize that 95% of kids were very happy to transition and were still happy with the decision later on in life?

    I know that math and science aren't Republican strong suits, but even a 4th grader can tell you that 95%>>>5%...

    Sorry, won't be engaging here to assist you in distracting from the un-American criminality your political hero is engaging in.

    To the thread title: No.

    I believe that anyone over the age of 12 should have the right to decline any medical procedure. And that includes infant circumcision, the practice of which should be a felony. Also, that anyone over 16 should have the right to affirmative bodily autonomy (i.e.; tie my tubes, do as vasectomy, change my gender, etc. -- dear doctor (MD) -- you are my service provider, do as I tell you!) as an adult.

    Biden already left office and pardoned everyone in his family and just about everyone else. Liberals are the real criminals.

    Can not believe we are debating on whether mutilating children is a good idea or not. There are really disgusting folks living in the world.

    Because politicians on the right needed a culture war to rile up their base and this was the subject they chose. And since the majority of them can’t think for themselves they just go with whatever their leaders tell them that they should be outraged about. Lol. It’s such a non-issue.

    Exactly.

    It is really concerning there are doctors willing to actually preform these procedures on minors knowing they took the Hippocratic Oath!

    ^ This.

    Remember, these are people who voted for such an abject lying clown that he repeatedly spewed out varieties of this laughable lie. Imagine casting a vote for someone who utters this dipshittery;

    Trump made the claim again last week while discussing education policy during a New York City barbershop discussion filmed by Fox News: “No transgender, no operations — you know, they take your kid — there are some places, your boy leaves for school, comes back a girl. Okay? Without parental consent.” He added, “At first, when I was told that was actually happening, I said, you know, it’s an exaggeration. No: it happens. It happens. There are areas where it happens.”

    Again, Chris Hayes. Works for MSNBC. Is Maher the Republican? I don't think so. Maher gave $1,000,000 to Obama. Who's the Republican so obsessed about it in this case?

    Amazing how this phenomena affects certain people so disproportionally versus others.

    It's not because the politicians on the left are proposing mutilation of children? Do you think protecting children is a culture war? What a strange take.

    Are schools performing transgender operations on kids without parental consent?

    Or was your laughable liar lying?
