    Pretty sure only adults can consent to sex.

    Well there's not. How CAN there be if it only started happening so recently?

    Leuprorelin is one. Why do you ask?

    different States in the USA have different ages - which age do you think is right?

    16 at the minimum, but I'm more comfortable with 18. What do you think?

    Maybe this can help you come to a more sober understanding of the issue.

    Jordan Peterson provides a very scholarly view of the broader underlying issues.

    Impetuous emotional actions and reactions by youth who are going through puberty, compounded by all of the social pressures and anxiety that come with trying to find one's footing in a chaotic world - It is arguably the most unstable and difficult period in life.

    You actually think that this study has to do with pumping kids full of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones for the purpose of making them feel more like a member of the opposite sex! :roflol:

    Well they first need to be diagnosed. Why else would a man think that he is a woman?

    Why don't you enlighten us.

    Okay, and would a doctor EVER cut off someone's limb because they have body integrity dysphoria?

    Ah, it's the "majority." When can it be under 18, and do you agree with it?

    Jordan Peterson. Great speaker. Not sure his philosophical musings rise above pandering.

    I'm guessing that in the US it's different in different States.

    Okay, but not before. Do you think that it should be provided to anyone who wants it?

    I don't know. I have not spent much of my time debating such things in my mind.

    Okay, that's fine, but is that including 'gender affirming surgery?'

    Watch the clip, it's only a few minutes long.

    That said, he is not speaking philosophically, he is applying affirmed medical and psychiatric understanding and practices to the issue.

    It would behoove you to understand what the actual medical and psychiatric literature says.

    What the "trans movement" is pushing is an abomination to sound medical and psychiatric practices.

    I think 16 with a 5-year buffer works the best
