You idiots keep bringing that up.
Think!
Think first, then react.
These kids would be considering, making a choice, do they want to go through high school in a 12 year old's body, or do they want their body to undergo near permanent changes consistent with a gender that they don't identify with?
I can't make that choice for them.
Neither can you.
Yes there is difficulty either way, but they would be the ones deciding.
I thought some of you were libertarian around here. Sheesh.

Seems like a lot of downplaying by you of the emotional effects of artificially induced physical changes as long as the physical effects are reversible. That said, this entire issue originates with the emotional. Gender is a man-made concept used to support the claim of gender dysphoria. As I've stated before in these forums, there is only one category of human kind that has legitimate claim to confusion with sexual identity and can rightfully and logically choose their physically given sex, and that is the hermaphrodite by birth. All the rest is psychological/emotional nonsense. Artificially inducing physical changes like these at early ages is not going to resolve emotional issues, it's going to compound them. Even if this catches on, which it sadly will, it should be until you are no longer a minor, as I believe you have stated. If people still want to pursue it at 18, and they subject themselves to all of the unnatural surgical procedures required, then they should not ask/campaign for public acceptance, nor ask for it to be paid for with tax dollars. Their freakness is their own biz, and they should keep it that way. Nothing about this advances humankind in a progressive and positive way; in fact, it causes chaos and regression, which we will untimately all have to pay for with the negative results it unleashes.
