Youth aren’t equipped to make life-altering gender decisions, conservative contributor says

There's more criticism of those in the medical community who insist that gender manipulation procedures should be carried out on young people who are confused about their sexuality.

Columnist Laurie Higgins of Breakthrough Ideas believes the more the public is apprised of the dangers of transgender drugs and surgery, the more the trans medical complex comes crashing down.

"In this futile quest to become the opposite sex, they want to be able to continue making money off this, and so they're trying to find other justifications. The one they've landed on is, ‘well, it doesn't really matter if it makes them healthy or not.’"

That is the argument presented Dutch psychiatrist Dr. Annalou de Vries, who contends transitioning is simply a journey of discovery.

In her paper published last December in the BMC Ethics Journal, de Vries says youth should be granted gender-manipulation treatments based on their “desire and autonomy,” writes Brandon Showalter in an opinion piece

Higgins, however, says minors are not capable of making life-altering decisions.

“The journey should be, ‘how do I come to accept my biological sex, my anatomy, everything that goes with it?, How do I reconcile these disturbing, disordered feelings I have?"According to Showalter, it's becoming evident that these trans activists are desperate to avoid accountability for the medical train wreck they're witnessing.
