Watch This Trans Teenager’s Emotional Reaction To Getting Her First Dose Of Hormones

[the game]

Ok, let me start by saying take the source with a grain of sand. I know it's not a big news side. Lets focus on the topic and not the source. The thing I wish to discuss is whether or not at 14 years old does a child have the mental capacity to legitimately decide that they're transgender or if what they're feeling is some sort of fad? I understand giving people the freedom to decide for themselves but can they be legitimately sure about a decision this big?

Adolescence is confusing enough with the built-in hormones. I can't imagine adding new ones to the mix.

Yes.



Wait, you were looking for a more controversial statement?

I'm looking for a discussion about it.

I'm happy for her. She's getting it done at quite a perfect time, before being messed up by testosterones.

Ya I hate it when my body tells me what I am.

Cool child abuse video.

I'd report it to the police but somehow the whole gay tolerance hysteria thing extends to protecting parents who dope their children up with radical body and mind changing drugs.

[Sir Andy]

Sure. And they can live with the repercussions.

Oh, get a grip of reality. /chars

Yes she is 100% capable of coming to the conclusion that she was born as the wrong gender and the earlier you start the better the results besides this isn't completely irreversible unless she we're to have Gender Reassignment Surgery.

Where'd you get your medical degree?

[Endus]

Teens don't make this choice without supervision. It happens in concert with their doctors, who've determined that this is the proper course of treatment that they need. It's not like you can just walk down to the cornerstore and pick up over-the-counter hormones. They were seeing specialists for months before it moved on to this stage.

[Kujako]

Yes. People, even teenager's, are capable of knowing their gender identity and sexual preference. Why, can you not?

[Linkedblade]

I don't have a prolem with transgerism. I just think we should spread the love who you are as you are. What's so wrong with that?

There is literally no content to your post other than blind, mindless hatred. Every single sentence fragment is a lie.

1> Medical care is not "child abuse".
2> What you phrase as "gay tolerance hysteria" both has nothing to do with this (since gender dysphoria has fuck-all to do with sexual orientation), and basically translates to "is no longer hatefully denying gay people their equal rights".

It's all just hate. Nothing more.

Not just months, but quote from the article: "something the 14-year-old had been waiting over two years to receive."
Some seem to have the idea, that you just suddenly say "I'm the opposing gender" and start medications the next day. It's silly.

Bro you need to send a message to your body and say that it's not ok for it to tell you who you are!

Who you really are is who these chemicals that you have to take for the rest of your life say you are, not pffff things like nature and DNA and biology.

Medical care is when you treat the condition, not escalate it.

And that is exactly what they are doing, treating. You seem to have other problems with it however.
