Argentina's president says he has banned gender-affirming care for people under age 18. A presidential spokesperson said Wednesday the government was repealing a 2012 gender identity law provision allowing such practices with parental or guardian consent.
Gender affirming care for minors doesn’t mean surgery. I’m not sure if you’re under the impression that’s what this is banning but if it is, it’s wrong.
What this is banning, and what every similar ban is banning is things like puberty blockers which are reversible and are only effective before puberty (obviously). Preventing or delaying puberty is REALLY important because it makes fully transitioning infinitely easier later on as adults.
All bans like this are doing is making the lives of trans people much harder under the guise of “preventing unreversible operations” when that’s not even what they’re banning.
Thank you! That’s very informative! Maintaining my opinion
Can I ask why?
I do not agree with prepping children for a sex change and puberty blockers

You seem to still be misinformed.
Dude literally talked about teansitioning
No, he talked about letting the person decide for themselves when they are actually mature enough to make the decision, and not making it harder on them physically and mentally if they do decide to transition later. If they don’t want to transition, they can just stop taking the blockers.
Letting a child who hasn’t even hit puberty yet to make that kind of decision doesn’t seem like very good parenting
You really can’t read. The puberty blocker is to delay the decision until they are old enough. Since it is reversible, the damage is much less than the mental distress of letting their body grow into a direction that they ultimately disagree with and then trying to change it later.
You would talk to a child psychologist about it. Then maybe an adult one for yourself.
