Science Supports Trans People - Here is why

Who is imposing anything on the children ?

This is your fundamental misunderstanding - people are responding to what the child is saying about their gender not forcing them into anything. You want to deny them their freedom to express their needs until they meet your arbitrary age of consent.

You want to impose your valued on other people is what you are trying to do.

You can have whatever opinion you want but you dont get to set the boundaries.

Can I ask why you post essays? I'm hardly going to read all of that.

2/3rds of it nothing to do with what I even said. May as well be shouting at a brick wall.

The bigots on this board spend a huge amount of energy being the pseudo intellectual debater who has heard of fallacies and knows a little bit about psychological theory but they're only trying to pick fights with people about how immigration or LGBT is ruining our society.

Disingenuous and laughably pathetic. Can't wait until these dinosaurs die out.

Maybe my silly head, but they're kids!

It's like me saying, as semi responsible parent,...'you silly goose. Running with scissors is not good. Here's another one. You got two hands...fire away." It's more efficient.

Later in life when they only have one eye, "why didn't you stop me", "well son, who am I to stop you.'

Any doctor who signs up to child hrt should be immediately struck off.

No one is behaving in the way you suggest - people are taking responsible decisions about a difficult subject and try to produce the minimum amount of stress in their impacted children. It is no way responsible to tell you child - shush, we can deal with this when your an adult as I am not prepared to deal with it now.

Actually bollox. Parents are there to support, look after and protect their children.

Not to force their ideologies on them. They can make their own decisions over the age of 18. And I'll support that, to an extent.

Anyone who thinks a pre pubescent child needs hrt should have tusla at their door and are not fit parents.

Again bollox. I didn't say that and you well know that.

Dereliction of parenting? Ask my left one. I as a parent, pretty sure you're not, is a duty of care.

You're telling me you are happy with young children, and they are young children, getting hrt? On whim basically.

There is a miniscule amount of research into any of the modern practices regarding children and gender identity. It is incomprehensible that anyone would judge what a child of 5 and over would say and allow that to shape their entire lives. That they were given puberty blockers and set down a medical pathway to transition will be the greatest medical scandal of the past 30 years. The only clinic that could have done a live study on its experimental practices (tavistock) did not follow patients for any length of time and refused to publish its report into medical transition until a court compelled it to in the public interest.

Children of that age cannot consent to medical transition. Social transition and puberty blockers are not a neutral course of action. Gender ideology should not be any where near children. It is an absolute tradegy that confused children can on the one hand be allowed to grow up questioning everything in their lives without a hint of the word gender or identity rearing its head and others who unfortunately are exposed to this ideology are set down a medical pathway.

Don't be silly. Noone is given hrt on a whim.

There is a large and growing body of research on transgender people - and there is growing evidence for a physical, hormonal and neurological basis for trans identities. That we would choose not to act on that evidence is the real abuse here.

I'm silly now. Did you read the previous posts?

I agree.

But you're twisting the conversation, which find abhorrent and disingenuous.

If you refuse to talk to your children about these issues in a frank and honest way then you are denying them the knowledge they need to make future decisions. Telling them that its not an issue to concern themselves with will leave them with no where to get the support they need. I would find it disgusting to see a parent refuse to discuss the issue of Trans with their children. Its not a matter of encouraging or praising what you personally consider to be an abhorrent subject - its about giving them enough information to answer their questions and remove their confusion/distress.
