Murphy and Alum, you both seem to be missing what I believe is Mn's point. I will spell it out for you at the risk that you were intentionally seeking to obscure the point:
If we can let kids make the decision about gender affirming care, that means they can also be tried for their decisions/actions that are felonious in nature. Can't have it both ways. What Mn and Custard may, note MAY, be missing is the flip side: If you can convict kids of felonies, then why not let them decide the gender affirming care stuff?
Or, maybe we can try and figure this out on a case-by-case basis instead of a one-size-fits-all basis.
I'm not sure it's that simple, but the Dems here appear to think having it both ways is not to be questioned.
One instance involves another person becoming a victim and losing her life.
The other instance involves kids making themselves the victim. Some will do fine. How many won't ?
And the transgender argument for adults, either 18 or 21 and older, is an entirely different argument than the one for 12-16 year old kids when it involves surgical procedures.
Walz taught high school kids. What's he thinking ?
