There seems to be widespread agreement in liberal circles that 18-year-olds are too immature to be trusted with anything dangerous. They want 21 to be the legal age to smoke cigarettes, vape, drunk alcohol or buy a gun.

Yet they will fight to the death to make sure children 16 and younger can decide for themselves whether to have doctors shoot them full of puberty-blocking drugs with unknown potential side-effects on their bodies, if they believe they’re t*********r. We can’t test cosmetics on animals, but we can use our children as guinea pigs for testing unproven puberty blocking chemicals.

In South Dakota, there was an attempt to change the law to stop what would, in previous years, have been immediately recognized as dangerous quackery and child abuse. And despite the fact that the South Dakota government is entirely run by Republicans, with staggering majorities in both Houses, the attempt failed when the House passed it but the Senate did not.

And here’s an article from last week, before the bill was defeated, that includes more background about how giving dangerous chemicals to children has become a trendy political crusade, and what it can do to their bodies. Also, what the advocates for this don’t want you to know. Like how Jazz Jennings has been touted as the public face of a healthy t*********r child for years, but we’re only now learning that she suffered severe complications and went through four painful surgeries because years of hormone blockers while still growing caused her sexual organs to develop in ways that the surgeons weren’t sure how to deal with.

Any such decisions are not made by the youth themselves or their parents for that matter. They are made with the consultation of Medical Doctors and Psychiatrists and other medical professionals with years of education and experience and they are not done against the will of children or parents.

Not to worry, I expect this law to be on the b****t, if not in 2020 then in 2022 for sure.

In South Dakota we the v**ers regularly override our legislature.

Well...the psychiatrists have failed miserably....like you have in life. every one of those weird bastards should be culled from the gene pool....and any psychobabblist that says it is not a deeply disturbing mental issue should have their license revoked immediately.......!!

You really need to learn to read and then somehow comprehend what you have read......I feel like I am addressing a 4th grader when trying to teach you complex idea.

Shall I explain the article to you?

Just wondering how many t***s kids you have met.

You are arguing about an idea, when the issue concerns real people.

American Vet

I have met several - both personally and professionally.

The real people involved are suffering a psychiatric disorder called g****r dysphoria. It is described in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).

The unfortunate people need help.

Fortunately, the treatment for g****r dysphoria does not involve denying one's identity.

In my experience, the unfortunate ones who need the most help are those that have pre-conceived biases that limit understanding of those different than themselves.

I think Edith got it right.

Define 'identity' - One is born male or female.

No one has the right to force their 'preferences' on others: You don't have the right to use the female restroom; you don't have the right to run in track meets against girls; and you certainly don't have the right to force me to use your preferences in "pronouns'.

You seem to think - as l*****t do - that only YOU understand those who are different. You choose not to believe that another person can evaluate, and then reject, those beliefs that you hold dear.

Can't test mine, I put her where nobody can find her.

Lt. Rob Polans ret.

The psychiatrist I worked with concluded it's a damn fad. Only i***ts and the weak of mind go for it.

Lt. Rob Polans ret.

It won't do any good, he'll still misunderstand.
