Really? We shouldn't treat childhood illnesses unless they're life or death? That's really the number 1 reason?

The OP chose the article.Who chose the quotes to use?
I see. You have missed the calls to do away with the FDA and other government oversight agencies? Well, par for the course I guess.Who's proposing that model? I doubt very much you would find anyone on rhe small government side to be saying there should be no controls on the food we consume. I don't think anyone want to be poisoned by bad meat. This is the foolishness of your argument. Literally no conservative has ever claimed that small government means no regulations on anything including the medical field. Maybe in your fevered imagination but in reality no.
Just like your big government precepts don't mean you want the government involved in every facit and decision of your life. I think that would be a poor model as well.
I see. You have missed the calls to do away with the FDA and other government oversight agencies? Totally spaced on Ron Desantis banning lab grown meat? Think that a complete ban on medicine that many specialists consider life saving is appropriate because you personally don't approve of it? Well, par for the course I guess.
It’s not made up. It’s essentially cosmetic surgery and genital mutation.Not true. Remember, we're talking about the gender affirming care which is actually used on minors, not the made up stuff that far-right talking points claim happens to minors.
Cancer treatments are LIFESAVING and MEDICAL CARE.I guess acting offended is easier than addressing the points made in, say, post 151. Not more convincing, but certainly a lot less effort.
Tge only similarity is that it's a treatment. You still ignored that the doctor doesn't give you any medication until it's proven you have a disease that will kill you. They don't just affirm you do and give it to you. I don't know what keytruda us but if it's a cancer drug they still won't give it to you just because you say you have the condition.If you're just going to ignore the rest of my post I'll just restate the facts from it :
They're both treatments used on children which might not have a two decade long proven track record, are not 100% certain to work, and might potentially have side effects. So the comparison seems apt, given that those were excuses previously brought up to ban one of the two.
"Ask your doctor if Keytruda might be right for you", from their ad on youtube.
Thanks for adding another point to my list of similarities.
Furthermore permanent surgeries such as “gender affirming care” don’t need to be used on children. Wait until they’re ADULTS.Tge only similarity is that it's a treatment. You still ignored that the doctor doesn't give you any medication until it's proven you have a disease that will kill you. They don't just affirm you do and give it to you. I don't know what keytruda us but if it's a cancer drug they still won't give it to you just because you say you have the condition.
Your comparison continues to be a failure.
Belk-Think that a complete ban on medicine that many specialists consider life saving is appropriate because you personally don't approve of it? Well, par for the course I guess.
It's never been proven to be life saving.thats a complete fabrication. It's seems my opinion is more in line with therapeutic practices around the world than yours is and has is in line with the systematic reviews than yours is.
It's all a complete.fabrication. Systematic reviews have proven the research on the subject is extremely poor and unreliable. All you posted were activist articles making unreliable claims based upon the same garbage research they've always used. There is NO evidence that transitioning for kids reduces their risk of suicidal ideation or suicide. None.Doctors Agree: Gender-Affirming Care is Life-Saving Care | ACLU

I guess you should let all those stupid doctors, lawyers, and researchers know.
Can you provide links to the systematic reviews are you referring to?It's all a complete.fabrication. Systematic reviews have proven the research on the subject is extremely poor and unreliable.

I don't need to let any of them know. The systematic reviews have already determined that it's junk science. I refer you once again to the systematic reviews of the research.
Every single country has looked at the research and found it unreliable and inconclusive.
So you posting trans activism stuff isn't real evidence that it's effective. The claims they make that it helps is a complete.fabrication and unsupported by the evidence.
You'll have to search for them for each country. Finland, Sweden, Norway, France and England.Can you provide links to the systematic reviews are you referring to?
Not according to the testimony quoted in the OP.It’s not made up. It’s essentially cosmetic surgery and genital mutation.
No one said it was the same, just that a lot of excuses for government interference in personal medical decisions would apply equally to cancer treatments.Cancer treatments are LIFESAVING and MEDICAL CARE.
“Gender affirming care” for minors who may change their mind over and over is not the same.
Tge only similarity is that it's a treatment.
Uh huh.It's all a complete.fabrication. Systematic reviews have proven the research on the subject is extremely poor and unreliable.

The Cass Report issued scathing condemnation for WPATH and stated that there are no long term.studies that show there is any improvement in mental health for kids who are medicalized. It stated that there is a strong possibility that any improvement seen in the short term is a placebo effect.
