MODERATORS
Doctors and medical professionals should decide whether they want to perform gender reassignments, not the government. The medical professionals all seems to agree that they won't perform a full gender reassignment until the patient is at least in their later teens. Anybody too young for gender reassignment is just being prescribed puberty blockers to give them more time to decide.
I don't see any problem with just leaving it in the hands of medical professionals. Yea, some people may say it's okay for 5 year olds to get a full gender reassignment, but those people aren't doctors, and the process can't really happen without a doctor involved.
The problem is there’s always some crackpot doctor who will make a poor, non-medically influenced decision and without regulation there’s no way to prevent it.
The “vaccines cause autism” guy was a licensed doctor, and I think we all agree he wasn’t making medically sound decisions.
Yeah, and that also got reversed and if you google the guy it shows "British disgraced former surgeon and medical research falsifier and antivaxxers"
You can't always stop cheaters before they cause damaged, that is life, but you can punish him, learn, and move on.
