The vast, vast majority of these surgeries are performed on cis teens. They're chest/breast reductions. WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2024 #67

Any surgery on any minor requires the consent of parents or legal guardians already . . . markpkessinger Nov 2024 #39

Like abortion? nt kelly1mm Nov 2024 #56

Okay, so you've named the ONE legal exception regarding consent to surgery for minors . . . markpkessinger Nov 2024 #66

Abortion isn't surgery and in some states minors are required to get parental consent. WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2024 #68

notice they did not respond to me Skittles Nov 2024 #25

I noticed that! LearnedHand Nov 2024 #26

agreed Skittles Nov 2024 #27

This has been DU every day since the election BootOutTheGoons Nov 2024 #28

seeing so-called progressives fall for such blatant rightwing trash is very disturbing indeed Skittles Nov 2024 #30

I'm convinced they want to fall for it BootOutTheGoons Nov 2024 #38

propaganda works on a lot of people Skittles Nov 2024 #46

Yes it does BootOutTheGoons Nov 2024 #48

You're right, and it's ugly LearnedHand Nov 2024 #40

It's not the fault of transpeople iemanja Nov 2024 #42

It's been implied here regularly since the election BootOutTheGoons Nov 2024 #43

That is not the same as blaming transpeople iemanja Nov 2024 #44

Tell that to the trans people here who feel like they're being blamed BootOutTheGoons Nov 2024 #47

Are you prepared to allow the GOP remain in power permanetly iemanja Nov 2024 #49

Indeed, the GOP controlled the messaging on many if not all issues iemanja Nov 2024 #69

Here is how AOC addressed Nancy Mace's bullshit iemanja Nov 2024 #71

AOC nails it... as usual!! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2024 #80

I think this is a good response, but how does that apply to the trans immigrant prisoner issue? Ilikepurple Nov 2024 #86

There isn't a trans undocumented prisoner issue iemanja Nov 2024 #89

You are the one that said it was an issue that the Democratic Party must face, I agree Ilikepurple Nov 2024 #90

Why are you fixated on a problem that doesn't exist? iemanja Nov 2024 #93

I'm not fixated on a problem that doesn't exist, but rights that may exist whether exercised or not Ilikepurple Nov 2024 #95

I just found out iemanja Nov 2024 #96
