    They get charged as adults in court all the time. Girls of this age can get pregnant and in some places this makes them a legal adult regardless of age. Most places in the US they can get married. It’s hard to feel they are full children given all this.

    Also, they can’t get treatment without parental consent, which is not true of most of the above.

    Edit: and I forgot join the military! Statistically far more people regret their military service than their gender care.

      Harry Potter tattoos have a higher regret rate than transgender surgeries

        Most of the regret rate, when looked at alongside reasons for de-transitioning, usually winds up being FAR more on the side of “it’s fucking easier for me to live as my assigned gender and deal with the dysphoria, than dealing with rednecks threatening to turn me into their latest lynching victim every Tuesday.”

      Still they have severe legal limitations of what they can and can’t do. If you want to argue that age of majority should be lower, it comes with bunch of other ugly problems, like alcohol, prostitution, adult content consumption ect.

        I guess you missed the parental permission part.

        I’m not sure you understand the hurdles that a trans kid and their families have to go through to get gender affirming care in the first place. It’s not like you can just walk into a doctors office and get your penis turned inside out on a whim.

        The whole “kids getting gender reassignment surgery” is just a dog whistle to get people who are ignorant on the topic riled up.

            Seems like you’re arguing for the sake of arguing.

            You completely ignored the part where the person explained to you that it’s not a flip of a coim that decides this outcome.

            It’s a joined decision made by the patient, parents/guardians, doctors and psychologists.

            Why do you think a redneck’s sole, uniformed, uneducated ‘gut feeling’ opinion has more weight than all of those people combined?

            So who? The gov? Like you did with roe?

            So much for small government conservatives.

            This asshole is just bad faith garbage with disproven arguments.

            Troll is my bet.
