I think this will create a lot of children with mental health issues. When these children grow up, the government will be paying huge settlements for allowing the courts to let this happen. Permanently changing someone before they have fully developed is dangerous and more and more examples are being presented to show that people who have transitioned at a young age end up regretting it.

Men will be even less likely to enter into marriage or parenthood and the gender divide will be even greater.

As well as contracts like prenups being created but for raising children in the event of divorce will become the norm because as it is now it isn't working.

Sounds somewhat similar to eugenics about a century ago which was the forced sterilization of those deemed unworthy of procreation. Not an exact comparison, but this is something that sounds just a crazy.

How have we reached this point? How do the courts not realise that this is absolute madness?

They are essentially saying mothers are more important than fathers

Okay listen I am not transphobic, but its not okay to change your gender at age less than maybe 20. When I was age of that kid I wanted to be a dinosaur. If anyone would told me I can just magically take magical pills and operations to have scales, tail and sharp teeth I would take that offer in a heartbeat. Kids shouldn't make those kinds of decisions ! Decisions they will probably regret because trans is rather small percent of people.

Circumcision was apparently not bad enough. They had to take it to next fucking level.

I thought any transition of a minor required rigorous psychological assessment before any treatment was introduced: his Mother has an incipient conflict of interest and should not only not be the arbiter in this situation but must be balanced by the boys Father in influence outside of independent assessment.

Parents should not have the right to unilaterally dictate medical procedures on minors against current medical opinion.

In any case, I understood current medical practice was to socially transition a minor and then use reversible puberty blockers to give them more time to make a decision before hormones started to make harder to reverse changes. This is a 7 year old boy who is years off even puberty blockers, chemical castration should not even be on the horizon.

The medical profession is not implementing their primary hippocratic oath: first do no harm.

This is Munchausen by Proxy syndrome. The mother reports the child needs transitioning to gain attention for herself and to alienate the child from his father.

This is a form of child abuse and the courts support it. There have been many times that the authorities have turned their backs on citizens.

Nerfixion · 2023-01-01T00:30:39+00:00

I've hate this story ever since a I first saw it and it just keeps getting worse. And now cali has a law preventing children going home if it's to stop them transitioning? Jesus christ California is such an evil state.

I don't think anyone can say as a father he didn't try, because it's been such a long fight.

63daddy · 2023-01-01T01:17:59+00:00

Having your son castrated is illegal in most states, but leave it to California to legalize it.

Texas is also to blame. Many states for example make it illegal to take someone under the age of consent to another state to avoid consent laws. Texas could similarly make it a crime for a Texas resident to take their son out of state for a horrific procedure that’s illegal in Texas.

It’s really disturbing any state would actually pass legislation allowing such harm be done to a child.

Californians should vote any politician who supported this law out of office.

Complex scenario, no easy answers BUT WTFH?????

MicrosoftOSX · 2023-01-01T06:39:15+00:00

Gender is a social concept Lets biologically modify this kid because of the gender concept he side with at this moment. Sounds logical

rotco1 · 2022-12-31T22:55:04+00:00

Bitches like these need their clits castrated.

DevilmanWunsen · 2023-01-01T01:00:43+00:00

A phobia is an irrational fear, disgust or hatred of something. I'm not irrational to think this is disgusting. I've never stopped anyone from living life on their own terms, but if me opposing this makes me "transphobic" then so be it, I'm a proud transphobe then. Leave the kids alone!

HurterOfFeefeesV2 · 2023-01-01T00:47:53+00:00

This is absolutely disgusting let alone I'm almost certain it's against the law and/or in violation of his human rights? Its gotta be right? I'm really hoping this isn't gonna happen bc it's gonna make it ok to do this to little boys and it's already ok to mutilate them as new borns wtf is going on..

yashspartan · 2023-01-01T05:48:32+00:00

... why is an issue that concerns roughly 1% of the US population becoming an issue that is concerning the common family?

This kind of decision should be done only after the age of 18 (minimum requirement for most things as is).

NITAREEDDESIGNS · 2022-12-31T23:22:23+00:00

Tragic...

soczewka · 2023-01-01T01:54:36+00:00

Divide and conquer.
First authoritarian introduce nonsense law so that no one really knows what is legal what is not and who is responsible for what.
And ruling class keeps ruling unaffected by the problems of minions.

killcat · 2023-01-01T01:36:45+00:00

I'd bet money on this being the mom's idea, classic "Look at me, look at me, look at me".

titaniumtux7 · 2023-01-01T05:08:56+00:00

Unfortunately, the only right we have here as men is choosing who we reproduce with. Long story short, don't marry a woke woman, don't marry a woman who supports transitioning kids, and hope to God she won't change her mind later once you find a good one.

ZombieP0ny · 2023-01-01T04:44:29+00:00

Holy fuck that site sucks with all those ads.

https://www.texastribune.org/2022/03/14/jeff-younger-transgender-care-house/

Better site without a ton of ads. Also, no puberty blockers don't chemically castrate you and pre-teen kids don't get puberty blockers in the first place.

Forcetobereckonedwit · 2023-01-01T03:21:22+00:00

Hate to say it but I see a tragic murder suicide on the horizon.

Wilddog73 · 2023-01-01T02:12:00+00:00

Sometimes I hear from people that moved to Texas to escape terrible politics. Guess that flipped on its head.

Seamonkey_Boxkicker · 2023-01-01T06:42:03+00:00

OP, what are you upset about?

RowdyAirplane49 · 2023-01-01T00:40:42+00:00

The (sane) trans community even looks down at hormonal and surgical transition this young. Idk what normal person thinks this is a great idea

CawlinAlcarz · 2023-01-01T05:48:11+00:00

World War Trans.

AMerryKa · 2023-01-01T01:45:00+00:00

Hormone therapy is not "chemical castration," it's perfectly safe and also reversible.

This is an anti-trans hit piece and these people can fuck off. Sorry you're too lazy to be informed about transgenderism & mindlessly believe the fearmongering, maybe read about the issue before ignoring overwhelming medical consensus about transgender affirmation instead of being a dick to your kid.

towerandhorizon · 2023-01-01T06:55:50+00:00

If he goes and does something "desperate" to the "mother"...not going to lie, I will totally understand. Think what this kid has undergone (and is still about to undergo) is tantamount to sexual abuse. If the kid wants to transition at 18, I understand and respect that.

Sirhugh66 · 2023-01-01T07:31:24+00:00

I think the mother is going to get sued by her child at some time in the future

Latveria · 2023-01-01T08:14:24+00:00

Kill them both. Simple.

Ventilateu · 2023-01-01T08:50:37+00:00

This is just vile and I'm terrified by the fact it doesn't surprise me
