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

Except that's not what's happening. They pause puberty with pills so the kid can grow up and make an informed decision after years of therapy. Meanwhile they don't have to worry about their body going the wrong way and contributing to serious mental health problems.
These laws are forcing kids to deal with serious mental illness, not saving them.

Chemo alters life quite a bit, I mean it's pretty much poison.
-
None of that is anywhere close to what's happening.
They give them a pill to temporarily block puberty. The point is to keep them from feeling severe mental anguish at their body developing the wrong way while they get years of therapy before a surgery.
-
Then you need to pay attention. They lie about surgery and ban the therapy and puberty blocking medications.

This thread is over and I'm now gunna be mean to the next trans person I see

Why do the most clueless dickheads (this means you) always feel the need to stick their uninformed opinions into discussions that don't pertain to them anyway???
-
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.

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?

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.
-
No, because you've been arguing in bad faith. At this point the onus is on you.
-
That seems extremely un libertarian of him. Wonder how his supporters will spin it as a positive for libertarians
-
Cause you can't. Fuck you
