The age of brain maturity in males is at the upper end which is demonstrated by the very high incidence of motor vehicle accidents in under 25 males - and higher insurance rates
I had a thought. If puberty blockers 'pause' maturity, then it would be logical to raise the age of consent to surgery to match. Say if a child delayed puberty for 2 years, then they would have to wait to age 20 instead of 18, before they could consent to surgery.
Many people would agree, Vincent. The tricky group is 18-25 or so when the brain is matured (mine took longer).

Correct - “gender medicine” is sometimes child abuse.
I'd remove "sometimes"
Here's a suggestion:
NO to the whole concept of gender transition in children and adolescents.
That’s interesting Julie. Can you say which is your country?
Nothing makes the powers that be rethink more quickly than litigation - certainly not the health and welfare of vulnerable children and adolescents.
Recently I have noted the removal of material promoting Gender Ideology in the Community Health centre and other Community organisations I attend.
I agree Julie - I think it’s litigation or the threat thereof that will stop this.
