Am I the only one who finds the most terrifying aspect of this story to be the fact that there are presumably licensed medical doctors, staff, and facilities willing to go forward with performing these types of procedures on SEVEN YEAR OLDS?



Well, ya know. I chuckled earlier when Hank seemed to think finding a doc to give a 7 year old a boob job wouldn't be possible.

LOL. It would be if we determined socially that a 7 year old not having boobs was a "victim".

There are legal and semantic fine hairs to be split. And then there’s just plain, good old-fashioned common sense.

Guess which side Hank will almost invariably come down upon?

Exactly. Clitorectomies are none of our business, amirite? Buncha nanny state big government types up in here.

The problem is that even authoritarians who want to give government control over every element of your life cannot conceivably manage to legislate everything. so, do you try to do so anyway, or do you trust the parents to make the correct decisions the vast majority of the time?

Your desperation to frame this as a limited government issue is embarrassing.

Moreover, you KNOW as well as everyone else in here that I was right when I said good old dad wins this one going away if the issue was:

1)Child is the girl and mom thinks she's fat so is getting lipo

2)Child is a girl and mom thinks she needs boobs

3)mom and 7 year old wants tattoo

etc etc etc

Hence, you know that the only reason he didn't win here is because trans has become some absurd leftist sacred cow.

This has nothing to with being authoritarian. Your desperation to make it so is very transparent.

Bad decision.

That is what you argue this is.

That is all this is in your mind, a bad parental decision, but totally okay.

You're broken.
I think I have said “extraordinarily bad” several times. Apologies if I am not adequately-emotional or hyperbolic for you.

Yup. Aggiehank supports the "right" of parents to force castration of extreme minors. In this case chemical castration and intense emotional abuse programming.

He just thinks its only a bad decision.

What a swell "libertarian"

Frankly, you wouldn't even need a law.

Absent a law on the subject, dad(or CPS) would win 100% of cases involving elective permanent procedures on 7 year olds but for the fricking subject being a sacred cow.

Courts routinely rule "best interests" of the child without requiring some law on the specific action.

There's no law against me feeding my child cake exclusively for every meal. But, if mom took my arse to court over it.............my stupidity is probably going to cost me.

Calling child abuse child abuse isn't "hyperbolic"

Not always, because you already admitted that the state should get involved when it comes to clitorectomies on young females. You want a line drawn, like we all do, but you want it drawn on the other side of chemically castrating a seven year old boy. You are defending the legal system allowing this action on young child, and you accuse anybody who disagrees with you of favoring the "nanny state".
Fair enough, and I was less than specific in that word selection. Only an anarchist would advocate for no action by government on anything.

Generally keeping government out of these decisions will almost always result in acceptable results. Occasionally, it will produce bad results. This certainly seems to be the case here.

Again, that is simply a cost of limited government. Sometimes bad things will happen.

I cannot count the number of times that I have seen the same analysis here regarding firearms. I agree with it in both contexts. Apparently others are less consistent.

Hey captain 17yo high school girl liposuction, how about address forced chemical castration of a 6 (now 7) year old boy.

Sophistry

You're trying to stand on the limited government angle when basically NO ONE supports allowing child abuse in the name of "limited government".

All you're doing with this line of argument is exposing your DailyKos roots

As I've said to many like you here, I truly hope for the worst for you. And if I ever learn that horrible shite has befallen you, I will revel and cheer at your misfortune, as it will be a very, very good day indeed.

Being anti-child abuse is now "inconsistent" with being anti-gun control. If you want to protect children from abuse, you must support gun control. Else you are "inconsistent".

You are still broken. Seek new cnn points, NPC

Yep

If I support the courts stepping in when child abuse is occurring, this means I need to change my 2nd Amendment views.

Just ask Hank!!!

My language is always less emotional and hyperbolic than the forum norm. Most on this thread see a parent with some nefarious scheme in mind. I see a bad decision. Such is life.

When one parent is about to make a bad decision with which the other parent is not in agreement, my ideal solution is a neutral arbiter (such as a family law judge) to resolve that dispute.

The consensus on this thread seems to be in favor of a broader regime of governmental prohibitions applicable to everyone in the state. I have a problem with that.
