I have a very liberal co-worker and we get along (we never discuss politics) and she went on a rant about about trans rights and the ban on the transing of children in Texas and gave the usual screed about old white men and then she kept going on about how she couldn't believe anyone would be stupid enough to vote for Gov. Abbott. That was when I told her that I had voted for him and she was shocked and said she thought I was more progressive. I then asked her if a kid can tell you that he/she is the opposite sex and we have to take that as the gospel truth, then why can't a 10 year old tell me that he wants beer for him and his friends at his birthday party because he is mature enough to make such a decision. Heck, why have any restrictions for kids?
She told me it wasn't the same thing and walked away. I remember about 20 years ago someone told me that the end game for the lgbt activists (not the ones who truly want to be left alone of course) was pedophilia and I told him that he was being paranoid. Now, I fear that the day is common with the mainstream media will openly defend pedophilia once they can "normalize" a kid changing their sex.
That's messed up, and IMO doesn't track. The kid had an injury that messed up his face, that's easily classifiable as an illness. The plastic surgery would be to remedy the illness.
I didn't research the rules so I can't confirm it was true. The topic didn't come up in political conversation so I have no reason to think it was made up or anything.
yeah, and I'm speaking in a philosophical sense not necessarily a legal or medical sense, so I don't really know either.
