On this we agree.

Would you really get behind a lifetime sentence for a kid who committed an act of violence against another kid? Lock 'em up and throw away the key? Because like it or not, this is similar. Only it's self mutilation (violence directed at themselves)... And the consequences could be a lifetime, no going back.
Basically your argument boils down to we let them have all sorts of responsibility, they'll be charged as adults, they can go murder people for their government, they can vote, but this one responsibility is just too far for grown-ass adults to handle.
Your attempt to treat gender affirming surgery as violence doesn't make your argument more persuasive, it makes it more hyperbolic.
Colour me unconvinced.
Another example of how you misrepresent ppl.
Every time you do that, you lose more "Credibility Coinage".

Who am I misrepresenting, the military?
Persephone29 made no suggestion she believed 18 year soldiers went out to "murder" ppl.
How could you not understand where "you put words into her mouth"?

Besides Pepe, what do I care how much credibility I have in your eyes? It's not like you possess enough credibility to give your judgments any.
Stay salty my friend.
Stay salty my friend.
Ppl with INTEGRITY do see I back up my arguments with reason, research, objectivity, and life experience.
Ppl with INTEGRITY do see my priority is on The Truth no matter where it may lie.
I am only interested in how ppl with INTEGRITY see me, hence my vigorous defence of my credibility.
