  Makes total sense, sounds like Mormonism to me. You’re obviously not from Utah, that’s exactly how many conservative mormons live their lives.
context: How can an eight-year-old, in response to years of indoctrination and pressure, make an informed “decision” to be baptized?

  It is one of the few Anabaptist ideals that I can get behind. Babies have no will to receive the host. Infant baptism as well as children circumcision is abuse. Flat out. >
  
  How are you defining "full" male orgasm? >
  
  I do not understand these people. I do not need sex to feel any better. I'm good. It's awesome. Don't need more nerves. Not even sure what I'd do with them. >
  
  Bro, they cut off your clit… >
  
  It's worth noting that "transgender healthcare" or "gender-affirming care" are broad terms that can include hormonal therapy -- but those terms also include things like therapy with a supportive psychologist, as well as legal support, like for changing your name or gender. 
  Despite disinformation campaigns by anti-LGBTQ radicals, most people support at least some aspects of transgender healthcare once they know what it includes -- and banning all of it isn't policy, but fearmongering.
  The claims that transgender children are "indoctrinated" are dismissible, because the people making those claims tolerate extraordinary pressure on children in other contexts -- and simply by the numbers, childhood religious trauma is a much, much bigger problem than purported harms of transgender healthcare. 
  Which of course isn't the point of this article -- the point is hypocrisy that is required to turn slogans into bad policy, in a way that causes predictable harm. >
  
  Yup- not to mention kids with cancer can make their own decision to go through chemo. Which has way more drawbacks that puberty blockers :/ So why tf are kids allowed their own choices then but not in other cases? Not to be mean to cancer patient kids btw, just a very real example of kids needing to make tough choices for their own health. >
  
  They do not. And even if the parents want to follow the child’s wishes the department of Children and Families can decided to intervene. As in take your kid and make sure they get treatment. >
  
  While true, they aren't doing that in routine cases. Where things like that happen are mostly where there are religious objections to potential lifesaving treatments. And in those cases, they are absolutely right to do so. >
  
  It’s such a horrible position to take. You’re trans but you can’t be trans in our state? 
  Objectively look at the position these states are taking. Regardless if you agree with trans people transitioning, look objectively. What if you were told you can’t dye your hair, get piercings, your hair had to be a length regardless of your preference on length. You had to wear clothes assigned to you. 
  No tattoos, no drinking, smoking, nothing that signals your division from a “norm”. Your body is not yours.
