Argentina's president bans gender-affirming care for people under age 18

Aaaaannnnd there it is - the unwillingness to accept reality.

My son nearly had to go on puberty blockers, as he was starting to show signs of early puberty. We talked to our pediatrician, who ultimately determined that he's not starting puberty just yet. Turns out he's just a really rambunctious and rowdy 8 year old.

Go fuck yourself

I wasn’t aware you were the leading expert on the subject. Because your opinion is so much more informed than mine.

I see, your reading comprehension is just generally shit. I did not claim to be "the leading expert on the subject." I was simply pointing out how blatantly obvious it is that you have no fucking idea what you're talking about and wondering why then you felt the need to contribute your opinion which carries negative value.

In addition to what other commenters have said, the extent of gender affirming care should solely be based on:

• the decision of a medical ethics body and
• peer-reviewed and repeated studies

By the way, surgeries removing enlarged breast tissue for men with Gynecomastia is gender affirming care. In the article, it says that in the US 25% of patients were 19 or younger at the time of surgery. Should this too be banned for minors? If not, how exactly is it different from a trans teen desiring surgery?

Reality has been explained to you using factual terms, backed up with sources, and yet you still refuse to accept it. You've shown your true colors.

As they say: you first

[urpartnerincrime@sh.itjust.works]

Really? Show me one source that's been given to me? Dumbass

A point some people seem to miss is that this administration is attacking from the bottom. They make it seem like little kids are getting surgeries as soon as they declare they're the opposite gender so no one "reasonable" could be against this ban.

Once this passes and no one objects, and nothing really changes because kids weren't getting surgeries in the first place, they wait a while. Then they'll find some other "issue" and move on to adult trans people.

[lka1988@sh.itjust.works]

No, because you've been arguing in bad faith. At this point the onus is on you.

[goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org]

That seems extremely un libertarian of him. Wonder how his supporters will spin it as a positive for libertarians

[urpartnerincrime@sh.itjust.works]

Cause you can't. Fuck you

How about you try to enlighten him then, instead of throwing verbal abuse at him. He stated his opinion and you are free to debate him on that.

The fact that he gets attacked like this for his opinion is why I don't engage in these discussions. Your kind of reaction will lose all support for your cause.
