Yeah, but I trust their doctors and their recommendations.
Doctors do shit for money.
They'll recommend whatever the parent asks for.
I want universal healthcare and even UBI, but this shit is just child abuse.
Edit to add: if you want to cut your dick off and call yourself a girl as an adult, I don't care. If you convince your kids doctor to chemically castrate them, you should go to jail.
Doctors used to recommend all kinds of stupid shit. Lobotomies, literally transfusing COWS MILK into people because it's white and will obviously make white blood cells.
They're wrong about this, too.
Hahahahahaha! Ok buddy
Good God!
You've completely changed my mind!
I'm putting my kids on puberty blockers right now!
Nice edit.
You told me to huff paint
If you're going to implicitly compare something like doctors abusing peoples trust to push things like opiates onto the population as a whole to providing specialized healthcare to a percent of a percent of the population, you've already succumb to brain rot and there will be no productive conversation to be had. Cheers, man.
I still stand by my original comment, and had no intentions of hiding it, more I figured the mods wouldn't like it.
Additionally, I said more paint, a small but significant distinction.
