[QUOTE="Doublestandards, post: 6049192, member: 110123"] I’ll come in with my opinion that will probably annoy both sides, but that seems to often be the case with me I’m libertarian at heart and don’t give a single crap if an adult chops their member off Surgeries for children should be off the table. Shouldn’t be allowed unless for medical reasons that is affecting the health Im open to hearing more about the science of puberty blockers, and the long term effects of them and if they truly are reversible, but I think instead we should be teaching kids, and their peers, to love the body they were given. I’m not saying they can’t or shouldn’t dress it up however they want, but I do think the left is moving away from body positivity as it started. I can truly sympathize with a trans girl growing up and hitting puberty and looking more like a man, and the insecurities that could cause, that must SUCK. I can see how puberty blockers and surgery would be so tempting to help you look the way you feel.
