The debate around child sex change health care continues. The surgery involves the contentious issue of providing medical interventions, such as hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries, to transgender children and adolescents who experience gender dysphoria
Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan made noise earlier this week when she said, “let’s be clear: this is life-affirming and life-saving healthcare. When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grown-ups to listen and to believe them. That’s what it means to be a good parent.” Flanagan is not the only politician who has voiced her opinion that children should be allowed to make such decisions.
Opponents of the idea, however, have continuously expressed concern about potential risks and the ability of minors to make informed decisions about permanent medical interventions, rightfully so. Elon Musk took to Twitter once again to own Flanagan and her ideology.
Musk responded, “Not when they’re fed propaganda by adults.”
“Moreover, every child goes through an identity crisis before their personality/identity crystallizes. Therefore, we shouldn’t allow severe, irreversible surgery or sterilizing drugs that they may regret until at least age 18,” Musk wrote.
