Is taking puberty blockers one of those “life altering decisions” you think children shouldn’t be allowed to take (spoiler, not taking them is also a life altering decision, and a more harmful one)? Also, do you discriminate between children and adolescents?
Not taking them is not because you didn’t alter anything.
Kind of like turning left (taking blockers) alters your course, but not touching the wheel (not taking them) doesn’t alter the course.
Also you distinguishing between children and adolescents shows you hold some form of internal biases between them, otherwise you wouldn’t feel the need to even ask.
As for my opinion on the discrimination between children and adolescents; yes I do think they should be what I assume you actually mean treated differently.
If you disagree then why are we not arguing about adolescents and adults too? Then all things being equal newborns to 50 year olds.
Obviously that’s kind of Straw man but I feel for someone like you, the absurdity of it might help you understand. Though I seriously doubt it
Adolescents are the only ones taking puberty blockers anyway - when the kids are trans. When they’re cis, children take them to prevent precocious puberty. Do you think they shouldn’t be allowed to?
I don’t think children should be allowed to make life altering decisions at all.
I also don’t think we should be cutting off anyone’s genitalia. Fucking barbaric practice.
