Are you always this much of a petulant child?Yes, just pointing out the irony to mention something's irrelevant after posting that. My opinion.

That's all it took to get you to throw insults? To point out your irony, after you tried to call something irrelevant? Yet I'm the child..Are you always this much of a petulant child?
You mentioned that emotional intelligence varies and can't be directly tied to age, and then went on to support using age to determine readiness for GAC. There seems to be a problem.Why not throw out capitalism and start with a better economic model?
The reason we don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
I'm confused about this. Are you saying that to somehow save money all of those ages should be raised? Or that it "works" meaning it's ok to do? Or that you're in favor of it.Raising the drinking age. Raising the age of consent. Raising the GAC age. It all works in our economic system.
Just because talking about trans the wrong way makes me an easy target for you and your buddy Tex to bully, doesn't mean I'll entertain it. You are a child. As tex would put it "having a bitchfit". Whiny as hell.That's all it took to get you to throw insults? To point out your irony, after you tried to call something irrelevant? Yet I'm the child..
Right. Doubling down on the irony. No where did I insult you. If anything, it just seems like your ego was hurt with that.Just because talking about trans the wrong way makes me an easy target for you and your buddy Tex to bully, doesn't mean I'll entertain it.

I'm not sure there is a GAC age. Nor would one make sense given that GAC (to the best of my knowledge) describes a wide variety of services and procedures. Regardless, I've seen nothing from you arguing why any such age is too low with regard to any service or procedure.
You're probably not wrong that money at a young age can go to many useful places, but if they have the means, or the want, who are you to say otherwise? Again, a higher number doesn't automatically make things more valid. You have people in their 40's having surgery to become lizard men. Even then, if that's what they want to do then by all means go for it. It literally affects me in absolutely no way possible.I do think a person at 18 would be better off saving thier money than spending it on GAC. Even $2000 is too much towards GAC at that age.
Historically there has not been much outrage to rasing the age of consent. Nor the drinking age. In some parts of the world it's not higher than 18. I think It's much better to raise the ages than try something new that isn't tried and true. Raising the legal age just works for all manner of things.
And if anyones so bothers or literally dying to get GAC, they will find a way to do it illegally, not my problem if they think they're literally dying without it.
Prostitution as well, if it's outlawed, people will still do it, doesn't mean I have to agree with it. Nor should the laws support GAC at early ages. 18 year old in my eyes is a young, very young adult. I think it is wrong. but that's just me here, evidently im not woke.
That the best insult you've got, bully?Aaaaand there's the victimhood.
Gotta be a bit, right? "Woke is when adults get to choose how to live their own lives." I mean it's certainly not a good bit, but the idiocy on display here seems just too staggering for it to be sincere.evidently im not woke
I'm really waiting for the big insult from the big bully at this point. Idiocy, not sincere, just staggering. What else can you make up from your arse end that isnt brown colored and smells?Gotta be a bit, right? "Woke is when adults get to choose how to live their own lives." I mean it's certainly not a good bit, but the idiocy on display here seems just too staggering for it to be sincere.
You're making a lot of assumptions about a lot number of people. Why can't someone decide if $2000 is within their budget and if what they're using the money for is worth it, rather than having you approve or deny them?I do think a person at 18 would be better off saving thier money than spending it on GAC. Even $2000 is too much towards GAC at that age.
Depending on how far back historically means, the people in thread may not have been around to be outraged. What happened in the past doesn't really matter.Historically there has not been much outrage to rasing the age of consent.
I think it's better to look into reasons for things and then based on that information, pursue a solution. I also believe that individual variation needs to taken into account as much as possible, rather than general solutions that can cause many problems.I think It's much better to raise the ages than try something new that isn't tried and true.
What are you even trying to say here? If someone is suffering greatly, they should just break laws (that might not be helpful and probably shouldn't exist)?And if anyones so bothers or literally dying to get GAC, they will find a way to do it illegally, not my problem if they think they're literally dying without it.
What happened to emotional intelligence.Prostitution as well, if it's outlawed, people will still do it, doesn't mean I have to agree with it.

All I can say is from the perspective of if I was a father.You're making a lot of assumptions about a lot number of people. Why can't someone decide if $2000 is within their budget and if what they're using the money for is worth it, rather than having you approve or deny them?

What happened to emotional intelligence.
This is getting ridiculous.That the best insult you've got, bully?
Emotional Intelligence is different for everybody. I'd say we're better off if GAC was limited to adults 25 and up. Just to be sure.
Not that it does, but what purpose does raising the age serve if not to address supposed insufficient emotional intelligence? This is a bizarre goalpost shift.Emotional intelligence? I decided raising the age was a better idea to talk about. What do you want to talk about emotional intelligence?
I think the most important perspective here is from the person seeking GAC. Being a parent is all well a good, but there are some things not even a parent can decide for their child.All I can say is from the perspective of if I was a father.
We can learn from the past sure, but what happened in the past doesn't strictly predict what happens in the present or future. Specifically the lack of outrage you mention on various topics doesn't really have anything to do with a discussion on the appropriate age for GAC. Maybe people were too accepting of various legal ages, but if so, what were the reasons? Do they still apply now? Maybe people have just changed. Whatever the case I think it's possible to discuss an approach to GAC, along with drinking, consent, retirement, etc, that goes much deeper than looking at only age.If we do not learn from past, then we are doomed to repeat mistakes. History will ALWAYS be important.
I can't disagree with this any more than I do now. Individual variation is evident. It's encoded in DNA.Individual variation only exists in the mind. Nothing really matters.
I still don't know what you're getting at, but I also don't think this is correct. Not all thieves are suffering, and not everyone experiencing suffering turns to crime. None of this is related to GAC as far as I can see.They are going to break laws if they are suffering, you don't need to convince them. Why do you think thieves steal money or food? to survive. Poor thieves wouldn't break the law if all their needs were met.
You brought up emotional intelligence, seemingly because it varies to such a degree that being 18 years old doesn't grant a person enough emotionally intelligence to make some decisions. You then went on to suggest using age to determine if someone can make a certain kind of decision. Unless the variation in emotional intelligence vanishes at 25, that is contradictory. It should also be said that if age isn't tied to emotional intelligence, then young people can have increased emotional intelligence just as much as older people can have lower emotional intelligence. I'm inquiring about the apparent contradictions.Emotional intelligence? I decided raising the age was a better idea to talk about. What do you want to talk about emotional intelligence?>
Also plenty of parents make bad decisions for their children.I think the most important perspective here is from the person seeking GAC. Being a parent is all well a good, but there are some things not even a parent can decide for their child.

What purposes? If increasing the age doesn't address supposed insufficient emotional intelligence...and it doesn't...it seems like the purpose of raising the age is only to make it so that adults have to wait longer to do something you don't want them to do at all. Law which serves no purpose other than to forestall disfavored action and violates individual rights in the process is bad law.Age 25+ why 25? Why not. Arbitrary much like 18 is arbitrary. Contrary to popular belief 18 doesn't mean anything as an age. Neither does 25, but it works better for our purposes.
Quite the advocate for boneheaded nonsense though, clearly.I don't like woke nonsense
That's a great insult. I'll have to remember that as I update my ignore list just for you.Quite the advocate for boneheaded nonsense though, clearly.

The reason so many trans people have suicidal thoughts and commit suicide at a disproportionate level to cis people is because a lot (not all) of them being unable to feel like themselves in their own body without transition-social or medical-can cause intense feelings of distress.It's amazing how people can adapt and survive. Suicidal ideation is an issue that needs bigger attention than it's given. Good point. However this is totally irrelevant to GAC.
Cheap braces cost like $8000 and most kids get them way younger, why aren't you campaigning about that?I do think a person at 18 would be better off saving thier money than spending it on GAC. Even $2000 is too much towards GAC at that age.

Yeah no. Unless I see some stats, you're not convincing me. Cis people by far make up the suicide toll, worldwide and internationally at very least.The reason so many trans people have suicidal thoughts and commit suicide at a disproportionate level to cis people is because a lot (not all) of them being unable to feel like themselves in their own body without transition-social or medical-can cause intense feelings of distress.
"Cutting off the penis"Yeah no. Unless I see some stats, you're not convincing me. Cis people by far make up the suicide toll, worldwide and internationally at very least.
Also braces compared to GAC? really? I'm fine with braces. Both my sisters had them. But bodily mutilation? Cutting off the penis and breasts. no thanks. Once again this is just personal preference but if you want to apply it to a broader set, you'll find many people are not okay with bodily mutilation but fine with teeth braces
Campagining? I guess that's all Americans like to do. I ain't doing diddly squat. This is just my opinions lol
