The Real timschochet 6,845 Posted February 10, 2023 For the sake of argument, let’s say that the number of regrets isn’t less than 1%- let’s say it’s 50%. If half of the people who choose to have a sex change operation come to regret it, should we therefore make it illegal? I would argue no. This isn’t a public health issue, like Covid, in which we are sometimes forced to make decisions for the benefit of all. This is a private health decision, between a person and their doctor (and in some cases when a minor is involved, their parents). The government has no role in these matters. Nether do you or I. We need to leave these folks alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
