What a sad state of affairs we have in this country no child under the age of 18 should be allowed to make such a life altering decision such as that and I would say that most 18yr Olds aren't capable of something that serious either. Something of that degree of seriousness should have to wait until the age of 21 and then if one decides to go ahead with something like that it SHOULD NOT be funded by Ohip in any way shape or form as it is in NO WAY a life or death situation. It should be a user pay system if you want it done pay for it YOURSELF and not the taxpayers.
I have zero problems funding it. Who here can claim to understand this issue. Let alone the human brain. Ffs even experts, can’t and don’t understand half.....
Try wrapping your rational brain around the brain of someone with X. It can’t be done. You simply don’t think as that person does. Your “rational” thoughts have zero relevance. I can’t imagine what it might be like, to feel trapped in a males body....lol, ffs most of you resent living in 2021 where your told how to think/feel....can’t even handle that...
The issue, for me anyways. Is that youth are susceptible to influence. Nor are they capable of what we deem to be adult decisions.
Else
They could get tattoos at 15, married at 14 if that’s what they want. There’s be no such thing as a child soldier, and no such thing as a young offenders act, and 17 year old that kill someone would tried as adults.
The fact! The courts deem it necessary to ban information to protect the
Child’s
Identity. Is all that needs to be said.
The world is so screwed up thanks to the left, liberals and progressives it’s pardon the pun.
Nuts
Totally agree.Quote:

No I don’t.
How much to you think we spend on the consequences of various “mental health” issues, be it substance abuse or other. That frankly are ignored.
Say the word. Physical ailment like diabetes, Chrones, Cancer, a cold, broken bone. And everyone gets that. Say your suffering from a chemical imbalance and your treated like a freak...with little support. We are also I imagine talking about a very very small percentage of the population. God forbid we help, or comprehend “yay but for the grace of god”.. walk a mile imo.
Debt/taxes et al.
Yep. Are you suggesting there aren’t 1,000 other things we spend too much on, where real money could be saved...
You must be.
I have a couple of things to say that seem to be relevant ... two may seem to be contradictory, but they are only because of the different times.
My dad said when he grew up and was about 6 years old, living in poverty and therefor a result of necessity ... he took care of babies while his parents worked the farm. He had his first job very young. It was normal to get married at 14 or 15 years old ... in fact if you weren't married by the time you were 20 ... most people thought they'd never be married and grow old alone. At 18 you were normally a parent.
Now, we can't imagine how a 16 year old would ever make it on their own ... they are considered to still be children.
What happened to the maturity of "children" (those under 18)? Did we do this, and is it right to have done this (I believe because we treat them like children with NO responsibility, they do not mature). And let's not confuse ... the past say 50 years is where this all changed, but prior to that .... for thousands of years ... "children" today, were adults back then.
Here's my perspective ... what has changed is the parent ... in fact I'd say the LACK of being a parent ... with the goal of raising mature people. In fact, I'd go so far as saying this is possibly a product of government intervention, and stripping parents of their rights to teach children. You see, don't they say the most influential years in a child is actually up to the age of 12? After that ... good luck trying to improve the nature of a person. If we strip a parent's rights to properly parent (because some psychologist comes up with a theory and makes a big social experiment out of it, where we learn the consequences only decades later) ... especially in the formidable years of a child's upbringing ... the child then has little ability on their own to make sense of much ... and the mind itself is influenced ... good or bad, right or wrong ... basically there's nothing there to help guide the child. It becomes worse when those children become parents themselves a decade later ... which is what we are experiencing right now.
So tying this back to the theme of this thread ... unfortunately, at 16 or even 18, perhaps 20 ... we still have children ... who have and don't believe in responsibility, little values to guide them ... lost. And now that we created this little tasmanian devil ... we also want to tell them they can be whatever they dream of being? No guidance? How are we as society going to understand the circumstances of a particular house hold, and know what the right thing to do is, as a parent ... we think a blanket approach which says ... let the child do whatever they want ... is the right thing?? I don't think so. How do we know that this isn't just some misunderstanding of emotions playing out, and if we allow the child to have an operation ... that they don't actually regret it later on?
Who here has done something as a "child" that you regret having done today as an adult? I have ... I got two tattoos ... one I ended up HATING ... it was a mistake (went to an amateur to get it done ... bad quality, and the theme just doesn't reflect who I am). The other I like.
It took me $600 to get the one I don't like put on ... it took $6500 to get it off (laser) ... and it's not 100% perfect ... I'd say 99% good ... but I'm MUCH happier today ... at least I'm okay taking my t-shirt off at a beach. So, I made a decision as a child that I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wish my parents were so strong about that they STOPPED me from doing it ... yes it would have been tears and anger at the time ... but fast forward only 5 to 10 years, and I would have thanked them ... now don't get me wrong ... I love my parents, they are awesome ... my dad was tough ... but I was a rebel ... and actually 16 years old at the time ... and I'm pretty sure illegally (due to my age at the time) this tattoo shop allowed me to do it.
WE SHOULD NOT EVER take away the rights of a parent ... EVER.
One thing about this that bothers me and there are many is why the doctors involved feel that they are entitled to anonymity, these people are supposed to be professionals and if what they are doing is supposed to be so great why are they hiding. There is another cases before the courts where a pastor was/is jailed for holding mass and couldn't agree not to hold mass as part of bail restrictions and the prosecuting attorney in the case wanted to be anonymous. I read a comment somewhere yesterday that someone wrote that rings true to me, "If Canada accepts everything it stands for nothing."
Maybe the prosecutor wanted to remain anonymous, because of the fear, of right wing religious nuts, trying to get retribution. The voters of the country, are deciding what we will accept, or not.
