Alabama Bill Would Criminalize Sex Change Surgeries for Minors

How is this related to mens rights?

Minors are not legally or otherwise allowed to get Gender Affirmative Surgeries. Children are not well informed to understand the gravity of the decision. Also unlike natural body parts, the parts made through GRS do not grow with age. Making that a useless idea anyway.

This isn’t related to men’s rights at all.

Too young to consent to sex is absolutely too young to consent to sex change. The consequences of sex that we "must" protect children from regardless of their own personal desires are far less significant than the consequences of sex change, and even less significant than just puberty blockers.

A child being maimed by a surgery that they might finally decide is not what they truly want is criminal I say that because young teens who went that path ended up more than 45% changing their minds but having to live with the unwanted surgery and a significant portion of those commit suicide because of having had that surgery.

I support this.

Just as a point of information: how many minors have undergone sex change surgeries in Alabama, exactly? Seems to me it should be pretty easy to find out if this is such a big problem.

Based Alabama.

That's actually good news. It's honestly scary that people are trying to prove that the Hungarian PM was right about people in the west trying to push gender change on minors. They fucking are trying to do it, that's a huge nope. Nobody should be allowed to alter the body of a child that's unable to have a fully informed consent on the matter.

Too young to get a tattoo? Too young to get a sex change.

I dunno how this is related to mens right. I get that male children would probably be the most targeted by those activists because of the ploriferation of the insane idea that "all men are bad" and "all men should die" and bs of the sort but still... to be honest even putting that into consideration it still looks more like a gender issue rather than mens right issue.

I read this as if it meant a guy from Alabama, called Bill, wanted to criminalise sex change surgeries for minors

MrRonchito · 2022-04-10T16:35:14+00:00

Good

Children aren’t considered mature enough to drive, vote, consume alcohol, cigarettes or legal cannabis…but, some people think they’re mature enough to decide on a surgical sex change. Make that make sense.

The only issue I take with sex changes is that I'm not convinced the science was well-performed and unbiased in determining that sex changes are GRASE (medical industry term for "Generally Recognised As Safe & Effective"). Specifically, the effective part.

Dysphoria is the main issue that reassignment is supposed to tackle. It's the opposite of euphoria, and it's an overwhelming negative reaction to seeing one's own body. I have done some light research for peer-reviewed studies on this item and it seems like the literature was lacking. I studied physics in college, not psychology, so it's not my area of expertise, but it seems like a short road leads us to reassignment.

It seems like there were 2 things that were tried before reassignment: talk-therapy and hormone therapy. Apparently those were not sufficiently effective. I haven't seen any other common treatment options that were used, but I might just be missing some stuff. Regardless, after seeing the documentary Hjernavask I have my doubts as to the scientific basis behind reassignment, and im not confident in the ethical considerations in the process that was used in those studies. Medical practice should NOT be "informed" by gender studies professors and the populist social movements of the time.

One problem with this is that if blockers cannot be prescribed for genuine trans minors, they face a lot more surgery later on if they choose to go down the surgical route.

Eg f to m, breast removal, m to f, Adams apple shaving down. Blockers are much lower risk than having further operations.
