Children choose their sex?

We are allowing CHILDREN to decide what sex they want to be, EVEN BEFORE they experienced sexual activity?

We are letting CHILDREN,
with "minds not fully developed",
too young to comprehend or halfway understand sex,
too young to have/experience sexual activity,
too young to vote,
too young to join military,
too young to smoke, drink, or go to R rated movies,
too young to move out of their parents house,
too young to have responsibility over their own life and rely on parents LEGALLY,
decide what their SEX is and CHOOSE to get an operation changing it?

I just want to make sure I understand the issue correctly.
Did I sum it up right?

No, they do not choose their sex. You're born either male or female, nothing more, nothing less. The sooner the dipshit trannies and their useful idiots (AKA former school teachers in name only) realize this, the better.

Some kids are confused, they can act out and sometimes seem suicidal about their sexuality…As grown ups we should just accept this, it isn’t very easy to be frank but a bit of love and support goes a long way towards preventing the acts of self-harm and constant misery some kids feel…I don’t truly understand a lot of it either but we should do our best to raise these children in a safe environment

I know a bunch of kids through my work that struggle with this kind of thing, they are good kids, just not what a lot of us are used to

Just accept their ‘pronouns,’ be respectful and help them when they need help
The ‘queer’ and transgender population is a real thing, nobody needs to chuck bricks at them

I think there's a conflation of things.

I think MOST kids are confused, angry, depressed, etc etc.... It's part of growing up. But they're taking those symptoms and thinking, "Maybe it's THIS"... Just like people my age who think, "My life is empty and I'm almost 40.. Maybe I should have kids?" - doing things for the wrong reasons.

"Ever been sad for a day? Take this anti-psychotic" (and then 5 years from then, take something to get rid of those side effects).

I agree that the teen years can be a tsunami of weird thoughts and actions, I’ve got two teens of my own and if one isn’t fucking up the other one is…It’s daily work man!

As for the drugs I’ve seen both good and bad effects on the kids I’m in contact with. In my job experience a responsible Doctor will frequently assess the dosage and effects on the kid, some of the drugs really do help.

I’m 48, growing up kids like me were practically feral dogs, Dad was at work and Mom was pushing a broom around the house so she tossed you out and told you not to come home til the streetlights came on…the 70s and 80s were different times. And maybe in some ways they were better times.

What I do appreciate about today is that we recognize that each kid has their own identity, not all boys like girls and some girls prefer other girls…It’s not something I was aware of as a boy but as a grown up I am happy that there is a level of acceptance and tolerance. It beats having kids hurting themselves or turning to dope and other risky behavior

Apologies for the long ramble but this stuff is pretty important✌️

I appreciate you sharing -- that's why we're here. Especially someone like you who actually HAS kids. I agree, and don't buy the "one size fits all", but I think there's a tendency (starting with $, but shared/passed on by people who probably mean well) to "shelter" everything, as if you can legislate kindness and understanding. A kind of a nanny state where everyone suffers in the name of "the children" (but then using them as cannon fodder the second they turn 18).

I was born in the 80s, and things were a little different, and by chance, everyone on my street was around the same age, and most didn't have sisters. We were rough, and we didn't do two-hand touch football. We used certain words to hurt someone's feelings, not because of sexuality (everyone on our street was straight, but we never even mentioned these things). Sometimes it was someone's ethnicity. Three days ago, I heard about one of the guys in our group, and I guess he's on booze/cocaine sleeping wherever he can. But he was a thief (along with his best friend) who'd go to the mall and brag about what he stole. I just had a flashback where that guy's mom slapped him in the face in front of everyone, calling him a "son of a bitch". I'd say half the kids on the street were hit, but no punches. My sister has two girls and she would never hit her kids, and I don't think she's ever yelled at him. She's very encouraging, always ready to give them a "Good job" and other forms of positive reinforcement. She won't even let the (3 and 5) girls drink soda, telling me, "They don't even know soda exists".

But most of the kids were alright, and stealing would never enter our (or mine, anyway) minds. Some kids turned out bad despite their parents being good. Some kids had bad parents but turned out good. Seems like the younger ones in the family turned out better, but I haven't had too much contact in the last 5-10 years.

(No kidding, I'm listening to a podcast, and someone asks Gilbert Arenas if there was any teepeeing or eggs being thrown).. Well, we did a few times, but nothing too bad. Sports were our thing, until music entered some of our lives, and then beer/pot. By the time we were adults, I moved out, and soon it seemed like everyone took off.

One thing I just mentioned to my cousin (who I hadn't spoken to in 7 years) was that I was glad we were almost teenagers before we got the internet.

No, we're just allowing children to choose their "gender presentation", and I don't see why any sensible person would have a problem with that.

Medical transitioning is a different question, however, one fraught with ethical difficulties and genuine dangers. Nobody should ever even think about doing that to a child whose brain isn't fully formed.

Some kids can notice they have Gender Dysphoria from a very early age. Some parents will be transphobic while some others will rush their kid into it. Both options are toxic. What you should do is to let the kid explore without forcing them into a predefined box.

Most kids will desist and move on to some other thing.

A small percentage will keep having the same feelings through the years. If that's the case, he can be given puberty blockers that delay puberty. Some cases, he will grow out of it, so you stop puberty blockers and everything goes as usual. If he still keeps the same feelings, then you can start hormonal treatment.

If the kid is, let's say, 4-5 years old, and hormonal treatment doesn't start until let's say, 16-17, we're talking more than 10 years to find who he wanna be.

And that would be hormonal treatment. Surgical operations won't happen until he has been a few years in hormonal treatment, we're talking his 20s.

Of course, some parents who have money and wanna score woke points will rush the process, that happens, but the solution to one extreme wrongdoing is not going to the other opposite extreme.

Exactly and you don’t allow children to make adult decisions, as you said their minds aren’t fully developed yet and they don’t truly know what they want.
