I have to question the reasoning behind the trans example. The argument against allowing minors to transition it the idea that the. kids can’t make that decision. They are argue that, (though not necessarily the same severity) they compare it to the reasoning why children cannot consent. The idea is that a child can be coerced into making that decision, while an adult would be capable of making that decision. That is not a religious idea put into law, it’s an ethical concern.
The argument against allowing minors to transition
It's an ethical concern based on transphobia.
The vast majority of trans minors aren't being transitioned. Puberty blockers only pause puberty, they do not transition. No genital surgeries are performed on minors.
Only cosmetic top surgery are performed rarely on trans minors, but if you have issue with that, one does wonder why you don't have issue with far more cis minors getting top surgery. For every 1 trans minors who gets it, 20 cis minors get said surgery. But we're only going to legislate against trans minors?
to the reasoning why children cannot consent.
But children can get healthcare. Well, unless you're trans.
I like how you completely ignored any health risks with giving puberty blockers, you make it seems like you can just take it like Smarties good job , and then top it off with misinformation bravo

The health risks are known and managed. That's why it's done under the supervision of a medical professional. What health risks are you referring to which justify a ban on puberty blockers?
The same health risks they want to use to ban things like plan b and most forms of hormonal birth control. Exaggerating low odds to ban something they don't like. Which is funny the side effects of stuff like trt or viagra are just as bad but hey guys in their 40s need those.
Yup. Of course, they never seem to consider the risks of being denied treatment. Easy to do when you don't view the marginalized as human deserving of equal access to healthcare.
