No, children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions

If you are not living this experience, then you shouldn't have an opinion. No person under the age of 18 undergoes any kind of irreversible change to their body, so it's literally a moot point. Let people live their lives as their true authentic selves. This is a decision best left up to the person and their families, not the government or politicians.

Destroying your body for the sake of a delusional identity is an irreversible change. You die younger, lose your ability to have children, and become permanently traumatised and live a life of regret and grief.

Children should not be able or allowed to make irreversible decisions regarding their bodies before the age of 18. And adults should not be able to make those decisions for children. If at 18 years old they decide they want to transition that’s great, but I do not think we know enough about the health effects of not letting children go through puberty and letting their bodies develop fully before pumping them full of hormones and going through life changing surgery.

Essentially everything as said above, this question operates on an entirely false assumption that gender is binary at all.

 @9FSCFF6from British Columbia  agreed…1yr1Y

the number of people with gender dysphoria has shot up immensly and I highly doubt its because were more accepting. Rapid onset gender dysphoria is obviously correct seeing how many people are trans now. the way that transgenders are celebrated and suppoted give some bias when people consider transitioning because its seen as something courageous, brave, and knowing ones self well even though its an illness. seeing teachers intoduce these topics to kids is a very real probelm too as kids will see this as an easy way to get attention and validation and with so much reinforcment the kids will start to completely believe and agree with how they identified even though they dont know what theyre talking about.

People have to go through many hoops in order to get Gender Transitioning Healthcare, and detransitioners do exsit

 @9G8DVM4 from British Columbia  agreed…1yr1Y

for children, the whole idea about gender transition is weird and children's minds are very vulnerable to being influenced by adults and their idea's. children's mind aren't as developed as an adults, making them susceptible to idea's that aren't in their best interest.

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.
