Or they might just be transgender. Keep in mind, Ms. Cole is NOT suing that the treatment was wrong, she is suing that her own doctors didn't follow established guidelines.
Yet that is probably the best point to do the treatment, before the full effects of puberty have kicked in.
Should also point out that VERY FEW trans kids are getting any kind of treatment at all. Less than 5000 are getting hormone treatments, and surgeries are rare.
Because those other things are optional and cosmetic.
The real problem here, Bible Boy, is you don't want transgender to be a thing. I would be all for strict scrutiny of administering treatment, and if these doctors engaged in malpractice, they should be sued.
But you don't want the treatments to happen at all. They make baby Jesus cry.

Or they might just be gay or going through a phase. You are suggesting life altering procedures to a young child when they are going through puberty. They don’t have it all figured out yet and are not sure what they are going through.
Yet that is probably the best point to do the treatment, before the full effects of puberty have kicked in.
Maybe, but again, how do you know for sure if what they are going through is genuine? What if they are wrong? What if their parents are encouraging them into it, when the parents don’t fully understand what is going on?

Ok, so you are suggesting that screwing up the lives of a few teenagers is acceptable because it’s rare? Of those 5000 not getting treatments, how many are children, and how many are claiming they are sure they are in the wrong gender? Maybe it’s rare because most people realize it’s wrong to start pumping their teenagers full of altering hormones and surgeries until they reach adulthood and can make that choice from an informed perspective?
Because those other things are optional and cosmetic.
…you wouldn’t let them make a life altering choice about a tattoo…but you would let them make a life altering choice about sexual reassignment surgery, as a teenager.

Lol “Bible Boy”…did you read the first sentence? Disregard religion. I’m not coming at this from an religious angle.

Once a person reaches adulthood and can make an informed decision, then that’s fine.
Your responses from this thread and the bakery thread are saying a lot. You just assume that everyone is a hateful religious zealot. It never occurred to you that perhaps some people just care about rights and freedoms, and what the cotus actually says, and in this case, it has nothing to do with people being trans, this is just about doctors and parents allowing their children to make these decisions, when most of the time, the kids don’t know what they want.
You cannot even fathom that people do things for stated reasons, with you, there must always be an ulterior motive.
