    Then your solution is no laws? Handle it it in the home.

    I like it.

    I'm sorry, unless it's something that is life/health-preserving, I'm pretty much against medical procedures of any kind. My wife is wanting cosmetic surgery. I'm, like, "Please, please, baby! You're absolutely beautiful as you are! Please don't consider this!" Thus far, she's listening. :)

    You can make your choice for you. Not for anyone else. Neither you nor Trump nor DeSantis nor the Supremacist Court has that right.

    The first Texas prosecution under the law that calls gender affirming care child abuse was temporarily blocked but judge would not dismiss case or halt the law
    Alabama on verge of passing own ban on health care for trans youth. Author of bill admits he has never met or spoken with any transgender person. He knows nothing about it but knows it's bad.

    Texas state department of health has removed from their web site suicide prevention information for LGBTQ youth. If they would all just kill themselves.

    Abbott is a bit of a loose cannon for me. That said, I'm still concerned for children who may want to make that (trans) change. Where is the line drawn on all of this?

    Abbott doesn't draw the line and neither do you.

    So, if you were the parent of, say, a 10-year-old and they came to you and said they wanted a sex change, how would you respond?

    Sex change is not appropriate term.

    Either way, how would you handle the situation?

    Month after month and no attempt to understand. Support anti trans laws in states. It's clear to me you consider trans people freaks for your amusement or hellbound sinners who need to pray themselves cis and straight. And possibly gay, lesbian, bi and gender nonconforming and nonbinary as well.
    As I have said, no reason to engage with you.
    My response to my hypothetical trans child would be between me and said child. I would not ask your or the Republican Party's opinion.

    In the hypothetical situation, you may end up not having a say at all. You'd just find out the results at a later point in time. Other than that, you and Sly are simply wrong in your assessments of me. Thanks for playing.

    You post links, I, like many others, read them. We post links in return and you simply refuse to read them. So trying to have a discussion with you is somewhat useless.

    Anyway, you'd be very surprised of my assessment of you. The ABM I've met and drank with is a very nice guy who I would drink with again. Like everyone in this world, you're a fascinating yet complicated person.

    You're demonstrating the sole reason for your Socialist government. To constrain, limit, and finally eliminate all individual freedom and uniqueness of human character through the enactment of increasingly oppressive laws selectively enforced against political opponents of Socialism.

    You show me a post that reflects what @crandc said about me and I'll address it.

    Hmmm, saying others have no part in my hypothetical transgender child is socialism and taking away freedom. I guess some people have different definitions of freedom than I do.

    I’ve never really put much thought into transgender issues. It’s pretty low on my scale of importance.

    I do think they should use the bathroom of the sex they were born and play sports in the sex they were born. But it’s not something I really care about enough to even argue or counter point someone over.
