Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
Should people waste thier time with a sealion?
😂
Yes
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.
