    No, you're a fake internet "revolutionary" who definitely folds at the slightest hint of in-person confrontation, and is definitely the first wailing snot bubble to call the cops and cry victimhood.

    Now he's Miss Cleo again.
    Go to the casino, and buy a ring for Jenee with the winnings.
    I mean, if your powers are so real.
    You can do it, we all believe in you.

    You have to remember, UA and FF have swallowed hook, line, and sinker, the conspiracy theory that doctors who provide transgender care are evil mad scientists with hypnotic goggles out of a cartoon that brainwash straight cis teens with car salesman pressure. And the aforementioned goggles.
    They think that's a thing that can happen.
    And mountains of real data can't dislodge this cartoon from their minds.
    They're not fanatics though.
    It's nothing like fanaticism.
    Except in every book on fanaticism.

    So, yeah, when you bring in the third party consent, their brains are going to keep shoving the imaginary cartoon mad scientist in there, and thinking that's a show-stopping crusher.

    I'm old enough to remember when "what if the child consents tho" was Libertarianism 101. You'll notice they're still not upset about sending those same minors into coal mines and slaughterhouses. :async:

    Funny that you seized on that supposed contradiction to be worthy of your notice and not the reverse contradiction. Confirmation bias is a helluva drug.

    Well yeah, because they want all the sweet sweet dollars that less than 1% of the population, often economically marginalized, has to shower the medical profession with. Real Scrooge McDuck gold-diving stuff.

    Interesting.

    I went out of my way to edit out the name of the completely amoral party in question and yet you still jumped to the conclusion that it was the Republican Party.

    :chris:

    That said, it is equally interesting that even now you can’t get yourself to condemn child slavery/rape.

    Is it just your hyper-partisanship or do agree with their position?

    I have to ask because you haven’t said a damn thing on the actual subject. Only popped in here to try and score a weak ass point which as usual has just backfired on you (stop buying your ‘How to Win Arguments on the Internet’ books from ACME).

    But now you are here. So c’mon. Share some of your very adult, not at all childish wisdom/analysis with us.

    Enlighten us with your take on this situation in Wyoming.

    Missouri State Senator Mike Moon suggested children as young as 12 should have the right to marry with parental permission

    "Do you know any kids who have been married at age 12? I do. And guess what? They're still married”​

    Whew! Glad to hear there weren’t any divorces because then those marriages might could be questionable.

    Back in the 80s, there was a huge scandal because a 30 year old married like a 9 year old girl. They were divorced before she was 16. She got the car in the divorce.

    Now nearly May and I see FF hasn't had the genital fortitude to respond to this.

    Child marriage now illegal in Michigan as new law raises minimum age to 18

    https://twitter.com/freep/status/1678867015354777601

    Anyone want to guess which party controlled Michigan’s legislature from 1985 until earlier this year and repeatedly blocked legislation banning child marriage?

    Oh look, UA would rather talk about some other topic instead of saying child marriage is bad. :chris:
