Argentina's president bans gender-affirming care for people under age 18
-
So he's also going to raise the age of consent from 14 to 18?
-
I dunno dude, I am just explaining while this move isn't a contradiction with libertarian ideas.
-
I'm just pointing out the fact they don't consider that when it's related to consent.

Drawing the line is easy: Can the procedure be delayed without any life long consequences? If yes, you can wait until you're an adult.
You want bigger boobs? That's fine, but in the end, it doesn't make a difference whether you do it as a 14 years or as an adult. You can wait 4 more years.
You want steroids to achieve a more muscular body? That's your choice, but it won't harm you to wait another few years, you will still have enough time to achieve and enjoy your ideal body when you are an adult.
You don't want to undergo male puperty? Okay, time to act now, because you will suffer irreversable consequences if we do nothing.

Not an expert, but isn't the argentinian president an ultra-liberal? (liberal as the world-definition, not the US-definition)
Could this just be to appease Trump?
-
I really hope this is just to appease Trump and get on his good side and he doesn't actually go and attack trans rights
-
I'm sure this is an important step to get the inflation under control, it will really improve the people's life !
Great use of their time and power.
-
Right, so it falls to the parents' discretion, not the government's, in such a worldview.
-
Your entire argument hinges on believing this, so either you believe it, or your entire argument is bullshit. Pick one.
-
Liberal like Libertarian, actually small government, low inflation, leaving people alone, allegedly.

He ran a campaign claiming to be ancap libertarian and liberal (as you say, the world definition). However, if one listened closely to what he said and paid attention to what he did, as well as look at the local people he rubbed elbows with, one would understand immediately that he's just a right-wing authoritarian populist.
He has met up with the same people behind Trump from the start, and as soon as he took over last year he pulled the same crap Trump is pulling in the US. He only became bolder now that Trump's term began. That's not appeasement, it's knowing he has Trump backing him in case people here become too fed up with him. ^^^Though I have to wonder if Trump would even care.^^^
