• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

I can’t even stomach that this is an actual issue being voted on:

I just don’t understand how any adult can legally let a doctor prescribe puberty blockers, hormone therapy, or any other shit to CHILDREN! Once someone turns 18, go ahead! Do whatever fucking messed up shit you wanna do to yourself, but before that is CHILD ABUSE!

Some states went the other direction and said let's make it child abuse to deny your kids trans options.
 
Care to copy/paste for those of us refusing to give corrupt organizations our clicks?

In other news, if you 3 year old boy wants to snip off his wiener and balls, is that a decision a parent can make? What if the kid does *not* want those things but the parent does? What if it's his left arm he wants chopped off?

Conversely a 3 year old girl wants a Ken doll grafted into her bits, if the parents agrees, is that legal? What about a porcelain turnip? What if the parent wants that but the kid doesn't?

What if on days the kid has school they want these things, but during weekend cartoons and Sunday pancakes they want things exactly as they are?

First of all, I appreciate your devils advocate approach. I believe it’s up to parents to raise their children how they deem necessary, however comma, it should be unlawful for children under the age of 18 to undergo any kind of gender reassignment surgery or hormone altering drug or therapy because they simply lack the life experience to know what they truly want. I say 18 because that is the average “legal adult” age. Children that haven’t hit puberty yet are still in a massive learning phase of their life, and teenagers go through changes both physically AND mentally where as like you said, may want one thing one day, and a different thing another. That’s my argument as to why kids shouldn’t have a say in it till they’re 18. Parents shouldn’t have a say in it because they would be robbing an innocent child of the chance for him/her to properly develop physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually....I’m not even going to touch on the moral argument right now, just strictly science.

edit: and what the fuck is a porcelain turnips?

I'm almost positive we are on the same side of the conversation.
