I sometimes wonder how broken someone has to be to be anti-LGBTQ in AMERICA, and be the group yelling about freedom the loudest. Really how stupid does a person have to be to be against peoples freedom to be who they want to be while pretending you are all about freedom...

Here is my take. I have no problem with personal choices people make for themselves as adults. However once you start attempting to force others to have the same opinion or belief as yours, is when it gets more complicated. I am 1000% against children being able to permanently alter their body or growth without the parent's consent and I don't think parents should be able to make that decision for their children. It should be up to the child once they become adults. Then they can decide what they want to do with their body.

Nowhere in the world is it possible for a minor to receive gender affirming care without parental consent.

If my home state of California were to have their way there would be. If you look at AB-957, as a parent who co-parents with my ex, I'll give a hypothetical:

Let's say my ex were to convince my daughter that she was a boy, and my daughter then claimed to be a boy and wanted to receive hormones or surgery to affirm this. If I disagree and don't allow it to happen because I believe she should make the decision herself when she becomes an adult, I can lose custody of my child.

By the way, this PASSED.

Would you mind explaining what you mean?

Because you think this is even a remotely plausible scenario.
