Child given drugs to delay onset of puberty

California is really the Country of California. The country follows it's own rights and laws depending on the day it is or how everyone is feeling that day.

There's a moral in there somewhere Chris.....Don't travel to or reside in California unless your an adult?

Some adults that reside in CA think like children.

Crazy ...

"This is about giving kids and their families the opportunity to make the right decision."

....idiots.

I am appalled..Not at the story..But the spin put on it.

Is this some anti gay far rightwing Christian sharia stuff to make gay couples seem unfit for adoption? Some kind of pushback against gay marriage?

Seriously it reeks of religious antigay propaganda, think rationally about the tone of this.

Lunatics come in all shades and sizes, and sexual orientation. I can dig up thousands of stories of hetero couples abusing and even murdering their kids.

Don't buy into this divisive crap.

(pardon my American)

This seems to focus on the gay factor of the parents...The act itself is disgusting though.

You're not appalled at the story? So you actually support what the parents are doing to this poor child, or is it just because it's Fox news that you need to knee jerk your way into excusing it?

MH · 10-17-11, 12:44 PM

FOX news is not "intellectual" i guess lol.

I admit that by not being so they sometimes get things right more often than others on some issues.

I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and relax on this one. The drugs delay puberty, they don't make it impossible.

In cases of gender dysphoric disorder this is done so that the child can become old enough to make decision for themselves as to what to do.

Given that testosterone causes irreversible changes, I'd say they're doing the right thing in letting the child grow old enough to decide whether or not he wants to change. If he grows out of it, then all he has to do is go off the drugs and he'll develop like anyone else. If he chooses to go through with a transition, he'll be far better off.

Here in Norway the christians think that gay people can be converted, just as with religion. Yes, we do have sick people in Norway too.

well, if "she" wants to be a woman, than they have no right to stop her. The drugs dont make it impossible to become a pubescent adult, but it gives him/her the time to figure things out as they age and become wiser, and capable of making decisions for themselves.

I'd think that few 14 or 15 year olds would be competent to make such a weighty decision. If they are then they ought to be competent to drive, drink and smoke too.
