The parents only get a say if they push FOR a sex change
Some pinko judge.
No one decides. It should be illegal to mutilate a child.
As Joju said 'the question is invalid.'
That's because "Max" is mentally ill and needs mental health treatment. Enabling this illness is malpractice.
“Who decides when a 14 y.o. wants to change gender? The child, the hospital, the battling parents?”
Probably Liberal Courts.
“Who decides when a 14 y.o. wants to change gender?”
Anyone can change their gender a thousand times on the same day if they want to. No one is stopping them. What no one can do is change their biological sex.
This girl wrongly thinks she has a “male brain.” Nope. Her brain is genetically and, therefore, biologically, female. She may have feelings of masculinity. She may desire to express masculine behavior, or whatever she perceives to be masculine. But she is biologically female.
Psychosis is treatable. But first we must recognize that psychosis is a mental and / or emotional problem, rather than a biological one that needs hormones and surgeries to “correct” the defective biological sex.
Forces are attempting to drive our society collectively insane by demanding that we pretend that psychoses are true and reality is false. The inmates truly are running the asylum.
Rhe legal guardians that would be paying for it.
a child’s brain at 14 is not developed enough to make critical long-term decisions. The synapses are not formed yet. That’s why we have education beyond high school - which is supposed to hone their critical thinking skills as their brains mature into adult brains.
Absolutely necessary that sex change is ILLEGAL before the age of 21.
No debate. No exceptions.
After 21, they can whack off whatever. I don’t give a flying fig.
The 14 year old does, after 4 years and moving out of the house and paying their own way.
If they are welcome to come home for the holidays is up for the parents to decide.
This tranny crap is 100% the result of liberals making it a cool fad to kids. There is no way middle schools went from having zero of them to over a dozen in just a few years time without it being seen as trendy.
can a 14 year old buy cigarettes, hard liqueur, get married, buy beer, fight in the army? No? Then why the hell should they be allowed to ‘decide’ that they want to mutilate their bodies? IF they are too young to fight, drink, smoke, get married etc- then they are too young to decide that they want to permanently change their gender
When he or she is 18 years old and not confused by societal pressures. Actually 21 years old would be better.
Oh, for crying out loud, liberals today are so closedminded. You have to play with dolls to be a girl? You have to want to hang out with other girls to be a girl? Otherwise, you must be a boy?
What happened to "a woman can do anything a man can do?"
30-40 years ago, if a girl hung out with boys, as most of my friends and I liked to do (because boys were adventurous and fun), that didn't mean she was a boy on the inside.
Here's what really happened to this poor girl. At a young age, she came across a youtube video that influenced her strongly, just as a book or something else can influence a child strongly:
. . . in Grade 7 when he stumbled across a video on YouTube. Titled “Boy,” the Danish short film documents the struggles between Emilie, a transgender boy, and his mother. . . . After watching the film, Max stood in front of the mirror — just as Emilie does in the film — and cut his hair, . . .
Whoever pays the bills, makes the rules.
None of the above. You make the kid grow up to be an adult first.
Sadly, probably not.
