The growing trend by Republicans attacking LGBTQ people should concern everyone

It is not fascism to protect children. Under gender-affirming care, puberty blocking drugs such as Lupron are being prescribed to kids-the same drugs used to chemically castrate pedophiles. Children aren’t fully mentally developed (according to science) to decide whether chopping off their genitals or chemically altering their hormones is right for them.

What is your opinion on gender surgery for children?

It doesn't matter. You'll be projecting.

They can always wait until adulthood. It’s no big deal.

Would you consider it a big deal once the children/teens you’ve told to wait commit suicide?

Perhaps it doesn’t look like a big deal to you. But if you were struggling with gender dysphoria, you’d probably feel differently.

Incorrect. They have been doing it forever. Nothing new here.

The active campaign of calling LGBTQ people groomers started about a year ago.

So, while this tactic has been used before in history, the groomer rhetoric is a new intonation of it.

Obviously children with serious mental health problems should effectively be locked up in a therapist’s office. If five different therapists all say that this child needs gender surgery for their mental health, only then should it be considered.

         You underestimate the majority of Americans, they can see right through this crap, it's backfiring on the Republicans. Yes some people eat it up and go on and on about it, but if it wasn't this those same people would find something just as bad, you're just playing whack-a-mole, let them wallow in their shit alone, no reason for you or anyone else to waste real time and energy doing what is effectively yelling at the wall.

"LGBT is not a pedophilic group, there's no merit to these slanderous claims." done, move on. Sue alex jones or whoever big that's slandering these organizations.

"Emily Tressa was born again at age 17, her dreams of a body to match her identity finally come true.

The New Hampshire high schooler awoke with a smile last month after the 4 1/2 hour procedure at Mt. Sinai’s Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery transformed her body and her future. While the operation reconstructed her male genitalia to make her physically female, Emily felt her anatomy had finally caught up with the rest of her."

Not like they were 12, but technically a minor.

@Devin Yeah, its seems like 17 years old is about when they start doing it.

It's like the most unclear situation. Not truly an adult but a child either.

This stuff doesn't have a simple clear answer. I don't like it when either side acts like there is a simple clear answer on this issue. Balance is crucial here.

   Yeah, he's a hateful bigoted conservative, but in this specific instance he's right, that mother is brainwashing her son into thinking he's a girl. It's documented, so, not just a lesson in how we need more balance and careful consideration in dealing this, it's another lesson of grooming and Narcissism done by parents. That's fucked up, and very likely this person will never be able to move on from that.

Well the point of the video is Jazz is the poster child of transgender in the u.s., she was the pioneer, and it didn't 'fix' her.

I didn't know she gained a lot of wait a few years ago either.

    That's fine, but it seems like the parent was the Narcissist controling this Jazz person.

And cut down on calories.

start with cutting down your usual daily caloric intake by 250-500 calories for about a month. If after a month that’s  still not enough to reach your desired body weight, then cut down your daily caloric intake by another 250-500 calories for the 2nd month. If after that month that’s still not enough bring your weight down to the body weight you want to reach, cut down your daily intake for the 3rd month. Keep cutting down your daily caloric intake by 250-500 calories after the end of each month until you reach your desired bodyweight or at least until you see very significant weight loss. 

If after about 6 months to a full year of trying this process, you don’t actually seeing any real weight loss for some odd  medical reason, then you need to see a medical doctor (preferably a specialist) who can diagnose whether or not you have some serious medical problem that’s causing you to not lose weight in a normal manner. 

Also, if you can afford to pay a good nutritionist who can also help you figure out a healthy meal plan to lose weight, that would be even better.

Why do you get to decide how many therapists a trans kid has to see before they can access treatment?

Are you an expert that’s well-versed on the topic?

Or are you a trans person who knows what gender dysphoria is like?

Have you done any genuine research into this topic at all?

If not, you’re coming up with these random perspectives from a place of ignorance… and purely from an emotional gut-reaction to something you don’t understand.

And it’s wise to take stock of what it is that you don’t know… as opposed to assuming that you do know.

Also, being “locked in a therapists office” isn’t going to help the kid at all.

Love you Danny!

   Yes, sometimes we can argue but most cases it becomes heated which then people troll and derail the thread, and it's not a good look that a moderator and some other random YouTube user is arguing in this forum, isn't a good look to me. You can ask challenging questions but do so that's not so personal sounding yeah?

   Thanks for the love!
