Politics is downstream from culture, as Andrew Breitbart once said.

Jesus what a stupid take, to actually believe that liberals are "experimenting on children". Seriously. Stop and really really think to yourself if that's happening. What, is this some horror movie with a terrified child with a single bulb swinging overhead, while the doctor evilly rubs his hands together. "Ah ha, yes, now to destroy traditional America evil laugh"

Surgeries, gender altering surgeries, are usually held off until 18, and if they're not I really don't understand why the government needs to have a say in something that a parent and child decide on. Drugs, puberty blockers have no long term effects and even then again, why does the government need to step in and say what a doctor should or not prescribe when the parents have been informed. and even then these are usually the minority of trans kids, and even then most parents do in fact have rules in place to wait until 18.

You know really what most liberals want? For people to be comfortable with themselves. To not have big government tell them that if they feel more comfortable wearing jeans and a tshirt over a dress that they should be allowed to. That if a child says "I don't like playing with monster trucks, can I play with a doll instead?" that we can say yes, absolutely you can.

I truly don't understand how anyone can be against that. I really don't understand why people think they need to have a say in how other people raise children. This all from the party of "small government", but then demands that they raise children a certain way.

But I'm sure by now you've completely ignored my point, and you have more fox news rage bait responses readied up to fire back at me. Please, tell me how you want big federal government to tell us what to do.
