Children shouldn't be encouraged to transition. 

 

Edit: Let me rephrase, people should wait until they're older, at least 18, before medically transitioning.

Children shouldn't be discouraged from being themselves. 

[Cameltoe Chariot]

We should outlaw transphobes

Why is it so hard for people to let children make their own choices until they are adults?

 

Adults really should not have any influence unless the kid is putting themselves in danger or someone else

Neither should be discouraged from being who they are

 

You should just listen and see how you can develop them in the best way possible

 

Is not hard to listen to kids and understand them, but most parents want them to be a person that they are not

These public officials can never stay out of ppl's bodies. It's so gross. 

[Miss Show Business]

This is really outrageous. I'm honestly speechless. This has been going WAY too far, and something MUST be done.

Leave LGBT children alone. I knew that I was gay since I was a child. Conversion therapy is not just disgusting, it's a form of genocide and I don't care how controversial this sounds. These attacks on LGBT people worldwide are vile and it's disgusting how society just tolerates it.

Conversion camps are literally GROOMING. This is sick let kids be what they wanna be. If they grow out of it then so be it! 

[Digitalism]

This will have the opposite effect of what they are expecting 

[Prodigal Self]

This is so inhumane

[Badger]

They may have concerns about therapy encouraging children to transition but therapy discouraging transitioning is not the answer.  If someone has gender dysphoria no-one in a therapy setting should be pushing an anti-trans agenda.

And guess the **** what, THEY ARE ENCOURAGED TO GIVE IT TIME. That is what puberty blockers are for, and yet you people still want to take those away. 

 

Let me make something very clear, TRANSITIONING DOES NOT MEAN SEX CHANGE. IT DOES NOT MEAN SURGERY. IT DOES NOT MEAN LIFE-ALTERING PROCEDURES. Transitioning in the beginning can be as simple as going by a different name or pronoun, or just wearing appropriate clothing.

 

Puberty blockers is the middleground so many people claim to have wanted in the past. It gives kids time to grow up and decide what they want.

For transparency, a collective decision has been made to permanently ban this member. Thinly-veiled transphobia is not welcome on ATRL.

I almost think this would INCREASE the suicide rate instead of helping even remotely at all.  You can't force people to act completely different to how they want to, just because of the bible.  This is crazy.   They should all be ashamed of themselves, and I hope it completely backfires on them.
