HRT should be available to trans kids. it seems I’m increasingly alone in this belief, depressingly, looking at the political situation around the world.
Full agree. People on here are spouting thinly coded eugenicist ideals and saying bodily autonomy ends when you die and makes you just another vector for resource extraction, but somehow enabling children to be who they want is an uncrossable line.
“We can’t allow you to transition because you’re not old enough to make a decision that could cause irreparable damage that you might regret later, but have you considered killing yourself?” is the insane nightmare scenario that we’re headed to.
From the UK (recommendations for a proposed law), “Doctors can bring up AS [assisted suicide] before the patient has mentioned it, including under 18.” They sure as hell can’t do that for HRT. Call me crazy, but if you’re old enough for a doctor to suggest suicide, you’re old enough to trans your gender.
I mean that’s what hormone blockers are for, anyway, though since a lot of places put medical rights at 14 you could start there. Precocious puberty is overrated.
I was about to write that too lol. I understand
Too much risk of peer pressure and influence by outsiders.
It’s a deep invasion into the body chemistry and shady guardians/doctors could do more harm than it would help actual deserving recipients.
So it’s the usual: The one ruins it for all.
You are parrotting a very, very common transphobic talking point, despite the truth being that that taking hormones is very rarely regretted. A teenager shouldn’t be forced to deal with gender dysphoria for years just because there is a teeny tiny chance they regret it. Have you ever thought about why trans suicide rates are so high? No matter how you frame it, trans healthcare saves lives.
I am neither pro- nor con to this idea.
In my opinion, the choice is yours to have as long as it won’t interfere with mine (meaning you may atom bomb a whole continent as long as I can live as I am content with it too).
Yes, having to deal with the dysphoria is a problem.
Yes, I may deal with an egg problem myself. Maybe not very much.
Yes, some ruined it for all.
Yes, it’s sad but there are se that could make something that se have a fetish for a living hell.
I know what psychotherapie is like.
If it could enable an early entry free for the person in need free from any outside influence, I am all for it and wish them my best.
Sadly there are many difficult hoops to juml through.
what makes you think children aren’t capable of giving informed consent? that’s ultimately the practice you take issue with. and so do most transphobes and “save the children” people
Bro they’re children??? Try having sex with one and then ask the same question to the judge before you’re jailed for life.
Well there is no medical need for pedophilia, in fact its a terrible thing. No good person would disagree. However, HRT is not morally wrong, and is often medically necessary.
