Ben is absolutely correct. I remember when I was under the age of 20. There’s no way I was mentally or emotionally capable of making such decisions.

Of course you will always find people who never mature and never make good decisions.

[@timattwater4589]

Except for the fact that only 2.5% of people who transitioned as a child choose to transition to the gender of their biological sex. The largest reasons for this are pressure from family and discrimination (mainly taking on the form of lack of employment). Furthermore the statistic I mentioned at the beginning is tiny in comparison for other operations such as a knee operation of which 30% of people regret having. Yet there is no movement to stop that. If a gender reassignment surgery or undergoing hormone therapy is the only thing that will prevent someone committing suicide, surely it should be allowed, right?

[@zizzy2902]

@@nenmaster5218 No, I do not agree that everything is the opposite of good, and that those with critical thinking laugh at Ben Shapiro. The fact is, Ben Shapiro has gained a following of tens of thousands of people who attend his lectures and debates and actively listen to what he has to say. It is not true that people with critical thinking laugh at Ben Shapiro. In fact, many people with critical thinking both agree and disagree with him. That being said, those who do disagree with him still attend his lectures in order to gain more wisdom and insight on his thoughts and beliefs. It could be argued that engaging in debates require critical thinking in order to arrive upon the most logical conclusion. Therefore, it can be concluded that some people understand the importance of debating issues in order to improve their understanding and expand their knowledge. It is also false to claim that Ben Shapiro is "perpetually wrong" about other issues besides abortion, climate change, and gays. Every person encounters matters in which they may lack complete knowledge or expertise; this does not mean they are perpetually wrong on all other issues. We have no way of absolutely knowing if Ben Shapiro is right or wrong on every issue so this statement stands unsubstantiated by facts or evidence. Overall, we must remember that everyone has different opinions when it comes to beliefs on different topics; this alone doesn’t make a person right or wrong but simply an opinion one may choose to stand by or against depending on the information available and one’s individual beliefs towards the matter being discussed.

[@Maverick512000]

Agreed, if I encounter someone that has decided they are not their biological gender I'm not going to go out of my way to call them their real gender just like if someone was named Bob at birth but they prefer to go by the name Jake I'll use the name they prefer just to be polite. However, if I see a document calling them Bob and I address them as Bob I'm not going to apologize for calling them Bob because I didn't know they wanted to be called Jim. by the same token if you were born a man and it is clear you were born a man I'm not going to apologize for thinking you are a man nor am I going to waste my time asking what your pronouns are before I talk to you.

[@EingefrorenesEisen]

The problem is, conservatives also tend to overestimate, fearmonger, and attack what they perceive as overreach when either the thing they're afraid of isn't happening or isn't as intense as they claim -- and it results in a harmful backlash. They pretend "oh I'M not saying anything bad about trans people..." but then they go and associate it with "evil, corrupt, baby-eating liberals" and all logic is thrown out the window. For example: medically transitioning a child, to my knowledge, DOES NOT HAPPEN. At best, they are given puberty blockers. Which, if you have objections about that, great -- let's talk about that. But we can't have an honest "critical thinking debate" when we're being thrown misinformation every 2 seconds and it's just gobbled up mostly by the right.

As a physician and a scientist (M.D,PhD), I would like to make clear that 1) we do not employ the word “gender” in the natural sciences as this is a social concept. 2) Although you may have learned that XX is a woman and XY is a male, that is because biology like math is foundational, so many concepts are simplified in the primary and secondary educational settings. In the scientific community we have robust debates on terminology and arrive a consensus based on the current body of knowledge. The XX and XY concept of biological development is considered incorrect in scientific literature. In science, we first distinguish between people who are or are not capable of developing primary (before puberty) and secondary (after puberty) sexual characteristics. This is because there are four genotypes that can give rise to a female with primary sexual characteristics (XX, XO, XXX, and XY (rare cases). Only two genotypes, however, give rise to both primary and secondary characteristics and fertility (XX, XXX). It is interesting to note that all fetuses will develop primary female characteristics unless the presence of one gene on the Y chromosome is present and functional. The scientific community first defined a female as anyone without a functional SRY gene, and male as any viable fetus with a functioning SRY. Whose genotypes may be (XY or XXY, OY is not viable). The point is that this is a complicated issue treated much differently in the natural sciences, so please refrain from invoking biology or science in anything related to the trans debate. These are purely social issues not scientific ones.

Question: If you're in favor of personal freedom, why not let people get reassignment surgery if it makes them happy? Answer: I never said they couldn't. I said children couldn't because that's abuse. And people shouldn't be forced to go along and agree with transgenderism.

[@willcartoons]

I don’t have a problem with little children dressing opposite of their sex (e.g., a little boy wearing a dress). But hormone therapy and sex changing should be for adults. When children become adults, they have to be 100% sure of their gender swap because it isn’t reversible.

100% man, I've never even liked the idea of letting your kids get piercings OR WORSE, DOING IT TO THEM WITHOUT CONSENT WHEN THEY'RE A FUCKING BABY?? This is how I feel about circumcision as well lol. There is no need to fuck with your hormones & genitals when you're figuring things out about yourself as a child. There are so many harm-free outlets: cross dressing, cosplaying as your preferred sex, external voice modulators, wigs/haircuts.. There's lots of people that have transitioned, then retransitioned later upon learning MORE about themselves & realizing that gender reassignment wasn't what they needed. Same reason we don't let kids get tattoos, it's a kind of permanent decision that's gonna stick with you for life in some way or another.

[@snypox]

@@commanderwaddles3483 I wonder if did Ben have his son circumsized? If so, that's a bit ironic,

[@Angel.Shehu8081]

Pretty sure that the vast majority of trans people, don't advise children to transition. Also, children literally can't transition, or have any type of medical treatments/procedures done on them. The most they can do is cut their hair, use new pronouns, and change clothes. So you shouldn't generalize saying all trans people advocate for child transition.

[@LightsCameraLivex]

It’s up to the kids, their doctor, and their parents. It’s not like the kid is just randomly like ‘mom get me this surgery’ and they go the next day. It’s a very involved process that requires a lot of doctor observation, testing, and approval.

[@snypox]

@Menkir Dennis I understand. But my point is that kids doesn't make that decision. Parents do it for them.

[@FullRewardMinistries]

[@christins.1481]

That's what I been saying! If they're gonna do this crap to kids and chemically castrate little boys, you might as well allow 4-year-olds to drink and smoke, cause it's all the same damn thing. When you turn 18. Do whatever you wanna do to your body. Become a genderless alien. Cut off all your body parts, reshape your face. Whatever you wanna do it. Go for it! But DO NOT touch the kids. Leave them be. I'm even so picky as to piercing a baby's ears. DON'T DO IT. Now when I was 5, my Mom asked me if I wanted to get my ears pierced and I said yeah. But it was something I felt like I wanted, and it progressed into having my entire body pierced, when I turned 18. Makes people think when they ask how many piercings I have and tell them 11, but you can only see 8 and one more piercing will give me a full body set. But I waited until I 18 to modify my body and get lots of piercings and tattoos. My Mom also made me wait. I wanted a tattoo when I was 16 and I knew a guy who did it at home and told my mom. Cause I wanted a tattoo. My Mom told if I waited till I was 18 she would pay for my first one. I waited till I was 18 and she held true to her word and bought me my first tattoo. Until they turn 18, don't touch their body.

[@christins.1481]

@@ASBlueful You are born either male or female. You're not an "it". Now what you don't teach kids is how to be right or left-handed. You place an object directly in front of them, and whatever they grab it with, that is their strong hand. Same thing with whatever they choose to be when they get older. Parents have to create base foundation for their child to grow on, whichever way they grow up to be. If the little boy thinks he's a girl, well, he's gonna be wearing girl clothes and wants to be called Fiona. That's fine. That's the side he's growing on to. You teach them how to hold an object, you teach them how to use it. Just like you teach them to become their own self. But to do that, you have to start off with a base. If you want your kid to be called "it". Go right ahead, but your kid is gonna have so much questions and will be confused as you're not laying down a base structure for "it" to start with in order to climb into a functioning adult. Start with your base foundation. Then work up from there. I'm a Pansexual identifying as a woman, identifying as a man, identifying as a woman. Not joking. And I'm Christian. My parents didn't teach me little boys grow up to wear pants and girls grow up to wear dresses. I was taught little boys have a penis and girls have a vagina. That was the base we were placed on and formed into what we became. You're confused yourself right now by mixing sex with gender. And also, if it was all a hoax, then there wouldn't be such a thing as a "genderless baby". You got caught with your own foot in your mouth.
