What you are talking about is 8 % of people and their detransitionning is due to transphobia, therefore not because of the treatment itself.
Really?..
Transphobia?..
If they were "transphobes" they wouldn't have transitioned in the first place..
Just like with most medicines and treatments, it's not like it will solve all your problems.
Especially with something so drastic and significant as to altering your whole body composiion, there are bound to be a whole new different set of problems you will have to deal with.
What is changing ones gender really going to help?
That's because you don't understand gender disphoria and its danger and relationship to depression and suicide.
I don't care abut what you agree or not. Treating kids with gender disphoria is a BASIC need for their survival.
I can hardly take this serious. Suicide is an active cause of death, and while it is no joking matter, directly opposes your claim that it is a "basic need for survival".
These people needs help and attention to get a better everyday, but a surgery to alter your gender is not the answer - it is a definitive decision that should only be permissible for when you are of legal age and have been properly and thoroughly consulted to what it entails, the consequences and to make sure that you understand what you are signing up for.
We can agree that they are in need of attention, care and help. But I vehemently disagree with the notion that this surgery is neccesary to any extent. It is completely discretional - and consequently have no place for minors to undergo.
And we let the kids dies and suffer ? (and it's not just trans kids, but Cis kid too)
People here talk about helping kids, but they are ready to abandon kids dying and suffering just because they can't accept that sometimes, they can't have their way.
Sorry, but if you want to help kids, you do EVERYTHING to help them, not just what suits your values.
Look, you can try to appeal to emotions all you want, but it is pointless.
The world is brutal, life is unfair, survival is a struggle. This is nothing new, but you have to realize that you cannot save everyone, no matter how much you want to. It's just not possible.
But it obviously doesn't mean we shouldn't try to help as many people as possible, I think it is the opposite in fact.
We are striving for better solutions and outcomes for all.
But one thing has to be clear, what someone think they want is not always what they really need.
Just to give an example; An alcoholic wants to drink alcohol - it's not good for them, their health or their social life, but they still want it.
Tough love.
