    Republican officials from 21 states have accused the medical group of violating state consumer protection laws by supporting gender-affirming care for trans youth. More ominously, they’re demanding that the AAP turn over extensive records about how it developed its policy.

    That’s the attack, and the care is “puberty blockers and hormone treatment”.

      So attack translates to accused of violating consumer protection laws. And care translates to perminantly modification of children’s bodies. Why can a child consent to this perminant modification but not a tatoo or sex? Sounds like double standards to me?

        And you sound like Tucker Carlson to me.

        If you’re not a doctor or a parent of trans youth how about you mind your own business and stop being so weird.

        Or do you not believe in small government?

        Just asking questions here.

        Oh boy, I can tell you’re not here for a good faith argument. Puberty blockers are explicitly TO delay puberty until they can be sure. Nothing wrong with them

        “But why can they consent to-”

        Nah ah, already stated the difference

          Yup, puberty blockers let trans youth prevent the onset of gender characteristics during puberty so that they can make an informed decision on what they want when they are an adult. It’s basically all upsides and, if the youth decides to go ahead with the puberty matching their birth sex it’s trivial to do so… but it keeps that door open so time doesn’t force a decision on them.

        You think minors are getting top and bottom surgery all the time, don’t you?

        Yeah, also why can children consent to any medical treatment? Not dying of treatable conditions is altering their body, and that’s literally bad. I’m so smart and compassionate, I’m basically literally a doctor.
