Good for you. What about a lack of compassion for teenagers who are making life changing decisions they may come to regret later in life. All that's being discussed here is making the minimum age 19 to make this decision. Why is that so bad? Anybody is free to live their life as whatever gender they prefer but surgery is another matter.

There is nothing but compassion for teenagers considering making such decisions and the fact that they may be later regretted is at the forefront of that compassion. It is an ever present.

I fail to see how you can claim that all that’s being discussed is raising the minimum age to 19. There have been many other things said, but that’s the first time I think that suggestion has been made.

It’s currently 18 (here), the same age that someone can marry or vote, so is the age at which someone is regarded as competent to make big decisions for themselves. That’s not of course to suggest that all counselling and support just disappears at 18! It remains just as it does for everyone. Raise it to 19, or 21? I can see some sense in doing so, but have no specially strong view.

OK that slipped past my memory but it’s hardly all that’s being discussed here is it?

Teenagers back in the day would go through a Goth Phrase and grow out of it into their 20s.

Unfortunately there is no turning back once a teenager has been mutilated. They have to live with it. And here's the thing when they express that they have made a mistake the trans community turns their back on them and villify them.

Showing them love and care getting the help they really need instead of just chopping off their body parts should be priority.

It's good to see Trump pushing back on the nonsense and especially with the Military and in the school classrooms. I also have noticed some world leaders removing the ridiculous pro nouns from their social media bios.

This post may upset some of those looney lefties but get used to it we are in for 4 years of greatness and beyond with President Trump and hopefully a president Vance in 2028.

Blimey! A fan club. Sounds like you want to/should live in the US to me. Mind you, we are the 51st state so there's no need I suppose.

Of, but if you did move, you'd be an immigrant. so scrub that idea. 😉

A legal immigrant who would work, pay taxes, contribute to society, not rape and stab anyone.

I've been an immigrant numerous times in my life. Nothing against it. Everything against illegal unvetted ones. Somthing the lefties can't seem to differentiate between legal and illegal immigrant.

Good morning, my 'rightie' friend. 🙂

Good morning. And glad to be able to teach you the difference between legal and illegal 😊👍🏻

You do realise that Europeans, mostly from these isles, created America don't you?

Trump himself is genetically a Scottish/German European.

I know you live in the mindset that all immigration is equal to all other immigration (even though the economics clearly inform differently) but the reality is that the superpower that is America is western only because it was created by our ancestors......Otherwise it essentially would be no different to the disaster of a country that is Mexico.

Not when there is a determination to turn this into an ideological issue. For me it's always been about the age of those concerned, not the actual procedure(s) and accusations of prejudice and ignorance are, frankly, bizarre when these are teenagers involved. Adults have complete agency and can do whatever they choose with and to their bodies.

Trump:- The UK is 'out of line'.

Actually the trade balance is in their favour, we buy much more from them (mostly sh*te) than they do from us.

We should tariff them, then if they don't play ball, join the BRICS bloc of peaceful co-existence and mutually beneficial relationships.

Why does anyone want the US brand of oligarchy, militarism, zionist religious nationalism and christian extremism anymore.

Sue them for back taxes to start with.

Chris Richards excepting...

Mental health patients are often made to wear straight jackets, under supervision and in safety cells to avoid them hurting themselves. I see similarities here.

We do buy more from them that's true....but your understanding of economic consequences Steely....blimey.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I presume that the biggest reason you came back was because the the land of your birth's welfare system will support you for free.

I don't begrudge you that (even though you seem to dislike the country).....but I would ask that when your economic suggestions endanger us collectively.....just because you don't like a foreign leader.....that you would at least pause for thought.

You wanted us in the EU Steely....it's looking like that's not a good idea at the moment. If Starmer is sensible he can end up getting an even bigger trade agreement here.

That would be me would it?

I have no idea would it? It's a comment in general not aimed specifically at you 🙂

If anyone wants a further look at the insanity that is the up and coming 'stars' of the Democratic party just take a look at their ongoing Democratic National Convention.

Asmongold...a former Democrat turned Trump voter.....comments on highlights from a recent DNC voting process.

Be aware that what you are about to see from this link isn't a Saturday Night Live skit or parody.
