The Cobb County teacher who was fired last month after reading a book about gender identity to her students has appealed her termination to the State Board of Education.

      Thats backwards. The whole pitch behind trans adults was “let adults do what they want to themselves” which is something I agree with. Kids were supposed to be left alone.

        So leave them alone to transition.
        Trans adults were trans kids once and they will have better adulthood if people like you don’t force them to experience incongruous puberty before graciously allowing them to “fix” the damage later.

          Them being adults or kids?

          Because kids cant consent to a tattoo, never mind hormones.

          And puberty blockers aren’t magic. You know that.

            You don’t know what I know.

            And if kids can’t consent, how is forcing them to go through permanent changes by not providing blockers acceptable.

            You would seem to be arguing for doling out blockers to all children until they can understand and consent to the changes of puberty.

            A bold proposition, but I’d hear you out.

              Alright, I deserved that, I worded that poorly.

              Kids can’t consent to puberty blockers.

                So how are they able to consent to not having them?

                You seem to be making a value judgment that views transness as something inherently to be avoided and if so you’re not worth engaging as you’re arguing backwards from the position “trans is bad”.

                Since we know that’s not true your position can be discarded.
