QUESTION: The U.K. banned puberty blockers for teens indefinitely this week. Do you think all states in the U.S. should do the same?
Talk about it….
Child abuse banned in the UK!
Great job UK! Great common sense. I wish everywhere else could do the same.
No. We need the drug for gender affirmation
Prepubescent human beings do not have the intellectual or emotional maturity to make decisions that likely will deleterious effects on the rest of their lives.
I hope this is sarcasm. Otherwise your children are nothing more than impressionable and you are an abuser for doing things like this.
I agree Paul. People are tripping hard about such a small percentage of people because they don’t understand how any of this works and were apparently lucky enough to fit into their own bodies or dictated gender roles. The same people are all for physical, emotional, and verbal abuse of their kids because that’s “their right” as parents, but think it’s not the right of a small percentage of parents to decide to delay puberty because their child has expressed that they don’t feel good in their own body. In other words, their okay with hitting their kids or saying repulsive things to them, but someone wants to help their kid feel better in their own skin? BAN IT! Priorities, man.
Yes, make medical and possibly irreversable changes/ damages to the body instead of addressing the mental health issue behind it all. I am sure you must be aware that most trans people have undergone abuse as a child, right? There are also natural phases. But, yeah. Let’s just pump chemicals into them. That’ll fix it.
Wow! There is so much projection there it’s astounding! Got news for you – since you claim we “don’t understand how any of this works”, you don’t understand how parenting works. The vast, vast majority of parents never abuse their children in any way, but rather protect them from ghouls who’ve decided to discard a millennium’s worth of science and risk of ruining their child’s ability to have a functioning sex life or procreate because the child is uncomfortable. Sorry you have Daddy issues, but you’re projecting.
When they dig up your bodies in ten thousand years trying to figure out who lived here and what their culture was they are going to say “according to your bones” male, female… they won’t care about that mixed up crap between your ears…. mental problems. This is mental illness in our world.
They call that a Red Herring Fallacy argument – attempting misleads or distracts from a relevant or important question.
Yeah…. totally stupid. If I was allowed to do what my small mashed potato brain wanted when I was young I would have poked an eye out and sawed a leg off and been a pirate. This is why you are not allowed to vote or drink until we can understand that two and two equals four.
“The same people are all for physical, emotional, and verbal abuse of their kids because that’s “their right” as parents…” All of those things are illegal, genius. Any parent who does those things is breaking the law. Likewise, any parent who thinks it’s their right to allow a ghoul masquerading as a physician to administer treatment to their intellectually and emotionally immature child that will result in a lifelong inability to procreate or fully enjoy sexual activities is abusing that child.
If the parents are pushing this agenda, they are guilty of child abuse and should be prosecuted.
If the child is pushing for this, the parents should provide mental health services instead of catering to the child’s delusions.
This is the world the Left has created. I say the Left because the psychologists,
as well as other medical professionals that are in favor of puberty blockers are
all Left leaning, and they are responsible for attempting to normalize unnatural
behavior.
As with the so-called COVID vaccine, puberty blockers are a hoax, intended
to deceive the gullible without any proof that it is safe or effective. Many doctors
fell for the scam of puberty blockers, and are being coerced into harming children
in the name of progress. The long term psychological effects on children is
unknown, there have been cases of children committing suicide who have been
undergoing this experimental therapy.
Always follow the money. It’s big pharma, certain politicians, and unscrupulous
medical professionals that are profiting from these powerful drugs with uncertain
benefits and significant risks.
Yup, the inmates are running the asylum. This will not end well.
Hopefully the US will start coming to its senses now that the woke liberals have been slapped back a bit. They were controlling things way too much for their special interest minority size! I welcome back middle road commonsense!
While I can’t imagine what sort of freak parent would want to hinder their child’s normal development, there are a lot of confused and/or misguided parents.
I am against the government of just about everything.
How about some serious mental health evaluations of the family who believes puberty blockers are appropriate for their children?
Don’t answer a fool according to his ‘own foolishness’ …..for fear you become just ‘like him’
Funny how the UK bans food from the US that contain poisons, and now this? It’s as if they care about life or something. Very odd behavior over there.
Twice I read that as ‘property’.
Wondered what a property blocker was.
Might need new glasses. 🥸
I am not a fan of government controlled health care in general, but the British system has one great advantage: they collect consistent health status and outcome data from everyone in the country and their health researchers have access to it. Their decision in this case is not ideological. It is data based on a huge sample size (the entire population). Case closed.
The British Medical Association publishes the British Medical Journal, which is the leading international medical journal and the most respected worldwide.
And yet when the fake pandemic happened they were pushing the vaxx despite the “paucity” of data.
After millions have been vaxxed population control becoming less trendy?
Any parent that would put their kid on Puberty blocker is commiting Child Sexual Abuse. They should go to jail. After Jail have to Register as a Child sex offender.
Leave them kids alone!
Everyone supporting Puberty Blockers is the reason Trump won and ca is a lot more red democrats have gone wayyyy to far left we will not allow our kids to be victims of the sick pharmaceutical companies
As long as the so-called “Progressives” have it their way, expect decisions to be made that do not reflect what the average Americans believe in or stand for. They live in a bubble that appeases the fringe.
Can I take some drugs to be a man for a while, dress differently voice changed etc. Do it for a couple years then take some other drugs to make me a woman, dress differently voice changed. Maybe I could switch every two years. Can I get the government to pay for it to help my mental health. Can I take some drugs to be a tiger if I feel uncomfortable as a man or woman?
I’m just hoping there will be a drug to make me African American if reparations ever happen.
