Turns out this isn't about caring for kids at all! Who would have thought conservatives would do such a thing?!

It's beyond stupid that this study was even done.

Let's play devil's advocate and say it's 90% regret.

So fucking what? Nobody's trying to prevent people from taking out LOANS they'll regret. Or making CAREER decisions they'll regret. Or having CHILDREN they'll regret. Freedom means letting people make their decisions and live with the results. That's the whole deal.

These assholes are only concerned about the actions they want to police - they don't give a SHIT about the well-being of the people taking those actions, and they will find any excuse.

    Harm reduction is a thing.
    If the study had shown a high amount of regret, it would indicate that a more restrictive screening process should be put in place, with other avenues being explored first.

    Frankly I want no screening. People should be able to alter their own sex characteristics at will. I believe in a fundamental freedom of sex. Your body is your own, and the government has no rightful say in what you do with it.

    On the other hand, this mindset could easily lead to misclassifying necessary gender-affirming surgery as elective. I think it's worth acknowledging that some medical decisions are more necessary than others.
