The author correctly asserts that children cannot give informed consent to a sterilizing procedure. He does not mention that "transgenders" are doomed to loneliness. No heterosexual woman wants anything to do with a man who chopped of his gonads. Nor does any heterosexual man consider such a mutilated man to be a woman and a possible partner. I periodically read about "transgender" men being killed by men they deceived into thinking they were a woman. Murder is wrong, of course, but lying to a sex partner about your sex is playing with fire.

There is a reason we don’t permit minors to enter into binding contracts. Why should a lifelong decision be treated differently, or even encouraged?

Attention-wh0ring parents are, a lot of the time in this day, behind a kid insisting that it’s whatever it was not born as. And of course little kids are easier to influence, so why not start tranning them out BEFORE they can make any kind of decision about it? I see a lot of parents getting sued by their kids in the not-too-distant future.

On this matter, interestingly the most rational comment I've read is from gay art film provocateur John Waters (who is hardly a conservative):

Have you ever done drag? I was only in drag once, and that was as the Wicked Witch at a birthday party when I was 8 years old. That ended my drag career. You have to be so careful of what you say. My friend told me this story, “You know, every gay man once tried on their mother’s shoes.” You did it once; you never did it again. But now, if you have a very liberal mother and they catch you, you have sexual reassignment lessons at 8 years old. And you might not really wanna do that.

If you can kill a child with a beating heart why can’t you mutilate him/her?

In my 12 years of schooling back in 1952-1964, I never saw a boy who wanted to become a girl. Never.

A couple of them went gay but no boy went “girly”.

This must be some new phenomena caused by pressure from Leftists.

We teach our children to stand up against peer pressure.
But the transgender pressure comes from adults. That makes it even more dangerous.

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

I shall claim to be young, and I demand much needed face lifts and other procedures to transform my body into what I claim that it represents. IE a young they. This is not a request, I demand it.

Attempting to do this to a child should be an automatic prison sentence.
