This is just wrong. There are lots of interesting discussions about how consent for people under the age of majority works, in which situations consent applies, and so on.
In Alabama, for example, anyone over the age too 14 can consent to medical treatment.

- matthewmacleod 4y agoNo, you are explicitly wrong – regardless of how much you might wish otherwise. It's fascinating that you then took this directly in what I can only assume is the current trendy anti-trans direction, given that this specific bit of law has been in place since 1975 and has obvious applications in lots of areas – maybe like ensuring that young people aren't denied medical treatment due to abusive parents.
- decremental 4y agoThat explains why this is such a sore subject here. Because if you believe children cannot consent then it would be unconscionable to mutilate them.
