People's brains aren't fully developed until the mid-twenties. Letting your 8 year old decide to get transgender surgery and destroy their body is extremely irresponsible. It is the parents job to raise and teach a child, not listen to a childs every want to be one of those cool new trans they heard about on buzzfeed.

5 RisposteIt should be illegal for transgenders to date without first informing their partner of their original sex.

Modificato da pValue2010: 7/31/2017 3:13:23 AMDiscouraged? Perhaps. But illegal? If the child, the child's parents and doctor/medical advisor are in favor, then I disagree that I should make it illegal. I don't have the expertise or authority to say otherwise.

3 RisposteI have watched this one documentary about trans kids. Its a fine line between wanting to be like the opposite sex or liking the same stuff as the opposite sex. A solution is to test that, kids don't know much about the sexes so letting them partake in stuff meant for the opposite sex. The show also did about stories where transgendered people regretting their change.

2 RisposteI think 18 is reasonable, maybe 21. But certainly, nothing shy of puberty. Until your hormones awaken, you don't really know for sure what you are. A "transgender" 8-year-old is probably not transgender. He/she's just poorly parented.

1 RispondiTransgenders want to be accepted for who they are yet, they weren't able to accept themselves for who they were.

1 RispondiI have a sort of offtopic question. When did people start to become transgender? Did they have surgeries hundreds of years ago? I just can't fathom why someone would damage their body based on feelings. It just seems so weak.

Should be illegal at any age but if it must be legal at all yes, it should be an age like 24 that one could decide
-
117 RisposteYou know how stupid that thread title sounds? It should be illegal to be the gender you feel more comfortable in before the age of 24? So now tomboys are illegal? Playing dress up and the boy plays the mom is [i]illegal?[/i] I get you're trying to say "maybe an age limit should be addressed for gender reassignment surgery" at least i [i]hope[/i] that's what you're saying. Fix your title it's so ignorant.

1 RispondiSomeone please ban jolly st civil from this thread

2 RisposteYou can't get the surgery. You can go on hormone blocks before puberty, get the oppisite sexes hormones at around 15-16 (I've heard), and must be 18 for the surgery. In the story you are siting, I believe the boy was and almost one hundred percent still on hormone blockers. Also, the scouts now allow Trans boys.
-
Agreed.

3 RisposteIs it true that in Canada that if your child decides to be transgender and the parents don't accept it, that the state can take that child away.

4 RisposteSo the kid in the article wants to get surgery and the parents are ok with it? Am I understanding correctly here?
-
2 RisposteWhy 24?

12 Risposte🎶It's none of your business.🎶 I thought most people on here liked less government involvement in our lives, not more of telling us how to live it?

11 RisposteDefinitely children who's parents are pushing a non gender identity need to be taken away.
-
4 Risposte18 Society says you are responsible enough to join the military and carry a weapon in defense of your country at that age you should be allowed to do some wiener chopping at that age also. Under 18 society has decided you are not responsible enough to purchase and consume a single can of Budweiser. How you are responsible enough to rip off your vagina is a complete mystery to me.
-
I see this as more of a parenting issue. Parents shouldn't facilitate a confused child's mindset and allow them free reign to do whatever the hell they think they want. Its nonsense.

Whatever the legal, liable adult age is for that country. That's the final line.

can't disagree with this. i am convinced that a small fraction of the transgender population in north america actually feels like they are trapped in the wrong body and really just want the attention or want to be unique. i think that you should need to mature and be more secure with yourself before it being legal to make permanent physical changes to your body.
