Bruh you are not getting it. This isn't about transgender rights. It's about "gender affirming care" for minors.
And regarding quoting you, how is anyone supposed to know this is all a quote from someone else??
You are right, my post was broadly about transgender rights including gender affirmation surgery and not specifically gender affirming care for minors, with which I also disagree. In an earlier post, I believe I stated that IMO gender affirmation care, particularly that which includes surgery is a choice which only mature adults can make for themselves. For example, if I had a minor son who wanted to go to school wearing a dress or makeup, I would not allow it. I use the 'son' example because in our society girls frequently wear boy's clothes and nobody thinks anything about it, (tomboys).
The percentage of people who claim to be transgender is extremely low. Although, it is reported to be somewhat higher in younger people than older folks. There could be several reasons for this including the fact that society is more open about some things today than it was a few decades ago. Older folks are less likely to admit they have transgender issues.
Yup, I should have quoted all the phrases/words taken from that article for clarity. What I quoted is word for word what was written in the article. What is not quoted is my rewrite of the article which is not word for word but does include some of the words used, such as "culture warriors".
One of the problems with discussions posted in forums such as these, is that the written word does not fully convey what someone is saying as it would if the conversation were face to face. I don't know about other folks, but I find it difficult to accurately express my body language in writing.
