The kids being mutilated are being raised in progressive homes, indoctrinated into leftist ideologies. It might be a silver lining that they are being sterilized. When your enemy is committing suicide the most foolish action you can take it to stop them.

It is grim but the reality is parents and doctors are making decisions they believe to be informed. Would you rather have a dead child or a Trans child? Parents should have decision making power for their kids, gender affirming care is vile imho but promoted in leftist enclaves. I raised my children to enjoy firearms, to love their country, to question everything. Progressives would consider this child abuse. Need to be careful limiting parents rights, even if it's something like genital mutilation and puberty blocking.Vegas » 25 Aug 2023, 1:12 pm » wrote: ↑ That's pretty grim. I would prefer to defend children from these people, rather than just shrug our shoulders and hope they die out. The children are being manipulated, the parents and doctors are doing the manipulating. A better route would be to go after the parents and docs, while making an attempt to save the kids.
There is a significant difference between parental rights and child abuse. Parents don't have a right to physically or sexually abuse their kids. Raising your kid with firearms, to love their country, and to question everything does not do any physical, sexual, or mental harm to the child. That is not abuse. Chopping off their genitals, giving puberty blockers, and manipulating them into thinking they are trans or homosexual, is direct physical, sexual, and mental abuse.Neo » 25 Aug 2023, 1:20 pm » wrote: ↑ It is grim but the reality is parents and doctors are making decisions they believe to be informed.

why haven’t you called for him to get a label?
if any lefty tried to defend parents rights to mutate their kids
you would have lost your **** mind
Your beliefs and mine, though sincerely held, are not recognized by progressive society. Doctors and Healthcare providers are encouraging these gender affirming treatments. Until these treatments are correctly labeled as ineffective and deranged child abuse, the issue is one of parental rights. Parents should have the right to seek medical treatment for their children.Vegas » 25 Aug 2023, 1:24 pm » wrote: ↑ There is a significant difference between parental rights and child abuse.

That contradicts what you said earlier.
There is no contradiction. I believe gender affirming care is vile child abuse. The whole concept is based on the lie one can be born in the wrong sexed body and the further lie that we are medically able to change someone's sex. Currently it's seen as a popular and accepted treatment for children claiming gender dysphoria. Until that is changed parents have a right to pursue legal medical treatment. I want to see the practice abolished.Vegas » 25 Aug 2023, 1:51 pm » wrote: ↑ That contradicts what you said earlier.
You said this:
