On Monday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton released an opinion that said allowing children to receive care like puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgery is child abuse.

thus involves situations where people are giving hormones or gender changing treatment to children, right?
i don’t let my kids pick the dinner menu regularly, because i don’t want to eat snickers bars for dinner. i ain’t letting them decide to mutilate themselves.
kids can’t make these decisions, they’re not equipped. not even close. that’s why they need parents.
looks like there’s no consensus on whether or not the effects of these treatments are reversible. i’d outlaw it in the case of children.
i want every single kid to be ecstatically happy and confident and secure. im skeptical that allowing little kids decide to do this to themselves, is a good idea. it sounds bonkers to me. adults can do whatever they want.
