What about them? They’re not being forced into that, most are having to fight tooth and nail to be heard and to get access to the treatment. You very clearly have no idea what’s going on with trans kids. Modern trans healthcare has nothing to do with people in the past being sterilized as punishment.
OTOH, this law is actually being forced on minors, even if they’re not in what you consider a punishable minority.
Also, presuming you’re an adult, do you mind telling me exactly why you care so much about children being sterilized? It is a shockingly disturbing concern and makes me question your intentions in white knighting for the childbearing capability of children you do not know.
The only people on earth that should matter to are the kids themselves, their parents, or their future partners, whom they will be able to choose, based on a willingness to beget children.
Unless you are their parent (their parent, NOT _A_ parent) or a minor’s future partner, in which case you are a groomer, you should really stop caring about what minor children you don’t know are doing with their body. It’s fucking creepy.

- chownie 3y ago"Subjected to" is unrealistic, given the vast majority of trans people never get the chance to use them — waiting lists for treatment are so long that most trans people are forced to undergo their default puberty and then try to claw some of the changes back with hormones when they can get them. ~30,000 diagnoses of gender dysphoria in children in the US per year VS ~1300 initiating puberty blocker treatments. This is not something that happens to them, or that they are subjected to, this is something they essentially campaign for, for themselves, for years.

- seoulmetro 3y agoThis is a hilariously backwards and slightly scary take. "If you aren't X you can't care about Y or you are a Z." is basically a huge logical fallacy. Insulting people because they care about things that affect them indirectly but not directly is pathetic and you should feel terrible. We all live in the same world that connects, we actually do have to deal with outer spheres of responsibility eventually.
- freejazz 3y ago>The only people on earth that should matter to are the kids themselves, their parents, or their future partners, whom they will be able to choose, based on a willingness to beget children. It seems like a much more expansive and reasonable list than you described as being a "logical fallacy"
- seoulmetro 3y agoThat's because the logical fallacy is the last paragraph in the comment.
- freejazz 3y agoOh, who is different in the last paragraph? It's your own list from your own comment and you are so knee-jerk defensive that you don't even realize what you wrote.
