I practiced as a Pediatric Emergency Physician for 37 years. Seeded deeply in my brain was the penultimate goal to ensure that all of my patients were safe. Safe from physical, emotional and sexual abuse. State laws vary, to some degree, but they all have strict laws on child safety. Teachers, law enforcement, nurses and doctors are required, by law, to report suspected mistreatment of children. Failure to do so could lead to criminal prosecution, loss of licenses, public humiliation and other degrading actions.
For example, it is illegal for a minor child to consent to sexual activity. A child is considered to be a minor at 16-18 years of age, depending on the state. Federal laws prevent taking a child across state lines with the intent to lower the age of consent from 18 to 16 years. Minors are not considered to have the knowledge, experience or emotional capacity to give consent to such serious experiences as sexual conduct.
But many “woke” people are now advocating transsexualism in our children. By this, they mean permanently altering the child’s body to attempt to change their gender. Permanently taking away a girls ability to have children and a boy’s ability to father children. Forever.
Anyone with even a remote exposure to children know that they are fickle. They jump on the wagon of fad and change their minds often. And, as is being revealed today by adults who underwent sex change surgery as a child and now regret that decision.
We, as a society, allow this same level of harm to be forced on to animals (dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, etc.) under the guise of controlling that animals population and food production. Is that what we are doing with our children?
Once one reaches the age of 18, do what you want and take responsibility for those actions. It is impossible for an adult parent/guardian to take responsibility for harm done to a child. The harming adult may be made to pay for the harm done but the child has to live with that harm for the rest of their life.
Bottom line? All these people wanting to neuter our children should be jailed for child sex abuse.
