The age to vote is 18.
The age to legally partake of tobacco products is 18.
The age to enlist in the military is 18.
The age to sign a legally binding contract is 18.
The age to legally drink is 21.
The age to legally consent to sex in Texas is 17.
The premise to the legal age of majority or consent is that at the legal age a person has the mental capacity to make a decision. While in reality and truth there are those under 18 that can make better decisions than those older. However the law makes a distinction to protect the vast majority who can't and also the enforce parental control.
So for whatever reason the liberal left wants to make an exception for transgender children.
Until the age of 18, a child shouldn't have a right to make such a life altering decision. A responsible parent should guide and inform a gender question child but shouldn't allow the child to make a final decision. It's a highly personal decision and the parents shouldn't let a child make the decision until an age of majority is reached.
Doctors who assist or inject life changing hormones into a child are in an ethical black area. It's not ethical for a doctor to assist in undermining a future adult's ability to choose. By the time the child is an adult and free to make a choice, the damage is already done.
I'm all for freedom of choice. I'm all for individual rights and keeping government out of personal decisions. I'm even against the argument that "it's for the children."
In fact I want to preserve freedom of choice by making a child wait until the age of consent to make the choice to transition to the opposite sex. Let the adult who's future lies ahead make the decision. Take the choice away from the parents and the unethical doctors.
