Can Kids Consent to Hormone Blockers?

Not saying it's new, all I'm saying is that it's beyond ridiculous to start having discussions with your doctor about puberty blockers when it comes to 2 year olds, as per Jenee's assertion

This is an entirely reasonable position. Figure it out

Look, I realize Jenee has a....certain reputation for being easily misunderstood, but her position was clear here.

If a kid from early childhood is professing their gender to be one thing and it hasn't gone away by middle school, then you can pretty safety assume they are trans by the time the blocker discussion comes around.

The hormone block is already a compromise to make cishets "happy" that they're being 100 percent sure they're trans.

Per jenee’s assertion. You’re falling into OF and FF territory as far as reading comprehension is concerned.

Fair enough, although I still find her "range" to be off

You should have provided a better, more realistic range, Oldfella with tits

Shut the fuck up, asshat. You have really lost your marbles in the time I wasn’t posting here.

Go fuck Uncle Albert

I mean...this was from 2015



I remember Nova posting a fuck ton of articles in the early 2010s when this became more in the mainstream consciousness. Three is on the lower end but not that exceeding rare.

Fucking hell. Three?

If he asks you to change him into a fire truck, are you gonna do that too?

I mean...you can't prove I don't identify as a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 cybernetic organism...

Children as young as a year/a year and a half begin to exhibit preferences - for any number of things.

James loved sweet potatoes at 18 months, but can’t stand them now.

It’s not about what they like at two. It’s about what they consistently say/do throughout childhood.

People shit all over "Terminator: Salvation" but Helena Bonham Carter's character could totally hook you up with a Terminator conversion.

Once again for kids on the short bus, there is NO MEDICAL TRANSITION AT THIS AGE.

You let the kid wear clothes of their choice, change their hair accordingly, use correct pronouns, all shit that can easily be dropped if the kid was in fact playing pretend. If the kid becomes "normal" again,great. If the kid's trans and actually survives to adulthood because they felt supported by their family, great.

It's a win-win.

Man, UA is really duking it out with all of these strawtransmen.

Fun fact: Until about the mid-80s, a lot of child psychology was based on shit Freud wrote. Freud, as has been discovered over the years, just simply pulled a lot of shit out of his ass, with no actual research done. It was thought that pre-pubescent kids were incapable of having things like gender dysphoria or even suicidal ideation, despite the fact that there were medical journal accounts of young children attempting suicide or mutilating their own genitals. Only in the 80s did folks start to say, "Well, you know, Freud was full of shit when he said this thing over here, maybe he was also full of shit when said the stuff about kids as well." Start poking around in anthropological writings about various less developed societies and you realize that there's a whole lot of shit about gender, gender roles, and sex that are simply based on culture and not actual biology.

Why are you never having kids? Is that by choice or a medical condition? Just wondering.

Let’s just say me and Captain Picard have something in common.

You knocked up your dead friends wife?

The Borg cut your balls off?

You're a terrible example of a Frenchman?

Ships in bottles?

Not a big fan of kids.

Okay I'm not a big Star Trek fan, so you'll have to treksplain that to me.

Picard didn't like kids that much.

oh, I see. Yes kids are a handful but remember - we were all kids at one time or another.

Weren't you bemoaning the fact that you encouraged one of your exes to have an abortion?

Yes.

What changed?

I mean it's real personal, but maybe I can clear things up a little. I regret that decision as well as a lot of things in that relationship that I could have done a lot of things differently. It's basically haunted me ever since. Part of me thought that maybe if we had kept the kid, it would have made our relationship stronger and maybe I would have grown up a little and become more responsible and basically took a different path. than the one I did. I have a lot of regrets to say the least. I don't think I'm suitable to be a father and I know you don't believe it, but I really am in my early forties so I kind of feel like it's too late. Couple that with I haven't been in a relationship since 2014/15 and haven't dated anyone in 4+ years and have no prospects anywhere near in sight and kids annoy the shit out of me and make me uncomfortable, I just don't see it happening or being a good idea.

Just think though Federal Farmer, if you had a kid today by the time he’s 21 you’ll be 36 and you guys can go cruising for chicks at the bar together. Quality time!

Knowing you're not suitable for parenthood before the kid gets here is responsible as fuck.

I promise you whatever issue you and the ex had would have only been are worse with a kid in the mix and at best would have had a resentful relation at the end of it and your kid would have been the one carrying the burden to make you guys happy. I should know.

Eccentric agrees!

Hey, I wonder if they actually do go to the same waifu cafes together!
