It should be children, not their parents, who decide whether or not to undergo life-changing transgender treatment and surgery, contends an article in the prominent Journal of Medical Ethics.
Author Maura Priest, a candidate professor at Arizona State University, wrote that parents who don’t want their children to transition “should lose veto power over most transition-related paediatric care,” Breitbart News reported.
A child who is determined by a health professional to be “informed and competent” should have the right to make that decision, Priest said.
“If the medical community is to take LGBT testimony seriously (as they should) then it is no longer the job of physicians to do their own weighing of the costs and benefits of transition-related care,” she wrote. “Assuming the patient is informed and competent, then only the [child] patient can make this assessment, because only the patient has access to the true weight of transition-related benefits.”
The public remains opposed to children undergoing sex-change treatment and surgery.
A September 2020 poll of 3,500 likely voters by Spry Strategies and sponsored by the Women’s Liberation Front found 54% strongly opposed it while only 8% strongly agreed.

Medical ‘ethics journal’: Don’t let moms and dads stop kids from having sex change
Wow! Kids should not be making those kind of decisions! PERIOD! Kids want a lot of things but parents are supposed to protect their kids from making serious mistakes. One cannot really change their gender they can only change the looks. God decides each one of us a gender when we are conceived. God does not make mistakes -we people do.
This is the kind of teachers and professors that need to cleaned out of our failed school systems and banned for life from schools. Kids that have this mental disorder need help not a sex change. So don’t waste money on this crap because most of these retards commit suicide anyway.
That “so called” Medical Ethics Journal has no ethics or morals! Did that Levine creep write this?
depends what Levine your talking about.
That Rachel Levine in Biden’s preverted corrupt regeme! A transgender!
depends what Levine your talking about.
What are they all smoking? these people are SICK. The Parents are the only ones who have a say on how there kids will be taught, there Health Care, and teaching Morals. These all fall under Parenting. Government has no say on this, Far-Left Professors and healthcare workers have no say in this. Most things I see being proposed is considered by most NORMAL adults as child abuse. These sick people can’t wait to get the young under there control.
There are only two options for gender. Male or Female. God created man and woman, not man, woman, and extras. The lgbt idiot community is a small minority and should never be listened to. They are all sexual deviants and child molesters. If you don’t believe this, then read the article about the SF chorus and read the lyrics to the song that they sang and most likely wrote. They are predators and proud of it. They all know that their abominable lifestyle is a learned thing. There is nothing natural about it. Many of them claim that “God made a mistake” when they were born, but God doesn’t make mistakes. If you are born male, then you are male, PERIOD.
Kids are not adults until they attain the age of 18. That’s the law. Only when they are 18 can they make permanent decisions about themselves, like sex-change operations. Until then, the parents have authority. Sensible reasons must be offered if anything is even considered regarding changes in the law. Assertions are to be ignored because they are mere opinions. There is a big difference between the two!
