Puberty actually mean ability to reproduce, not the ability to respond to sexual stimuli. The latter is present in prepubescent children as well, as was shown many times since Alfred Kinsey.
How can children consent to sex before even hitting puberty?

How can children consent to be sterilized and socially transitioned before hitting puberty?
Isn't this why parents have to give consent for medical procedures? Though I'd agree we should be very hesitant about such prescriptions, only using them as a last treatment resort if at all.
Yes, of course. The parents. Because four year olds totes know their so-called "gender identity," and, well, of course, parents would never, ever do something like hint about it. Or treat their "girly" boy as a boy, but maybe they would tell him he might "really" be a girl? Have you looked into parents who hog the limelight about their "trans" children?
But there are also parents who would send their kids off to conversion therapy for saying they had a harmless crush on someone of the same sex.
It's like the saying, "hard cases make for bad law" - there are always extremes. The very argument of extremes can be used against everything related to the paranormal - in fact "skeptics" do this repeatedly, find the people who tried to faith heal their kids rather than go seek medical treatment, and condemn all parapsychology as a dangerous field and all religious faith as poison.
This, exactly. It's sterilization of these kids before they even know what that means. Whether parents are well meaning or not, this should stop any reasonable person cold.How can children consent to be sterilized and socially transitioned before hitting puberty?
I can wait, easily. After all, I also promised that I will describe my general position on child liberation, and haven't posted anything for now. It is mind-bendingly hard to formulate a whole liberatory worldview in a post.
And, I had to confess, I'm a bit anxious to move forward in this direction. Arguing for emancipation of children nowadays in something like preaching religious tolerance in the 16th century Inquisition-dominated Europe.
Yet, polite responses to my original posts on this topic were a very pleasant surprise. When I posted my original long post, I was badly afraid that all the reputation I earned on Skeptiko would be destroyed in a moment. It literally took all my courage to press the "Post Reply" button that time.
But I did it for the simple reason: I'm sincerely convinced that I am objectively correct in what I claim, and dominant postion on this issue is objectively misguided.
One has to be born and raised in an effectively anarchic society (1990s Russia, 1960s - 1970s Liberatrian Left communes and families in the West, etc.) to be as completely devoid of conditioned negative response to child-adult sex as I do. But I still hope that info I presented may ignite at least a small spark of doubt in someone's mind.
Baboom!! Lol!This conversation isn't going to go well between us, Sci, because I think the current transgenderism IS gay conversion therapy for kids, but with a "liberal" lemon twist and a dash of progressiveness.

I have to say, I agree.
Tell me this kid has any iota of wtf he's doing. (Hint: he doesn't and his parents should be ashamed of themselves).
Seems like a lazy caricature of a complicated issue. {I say this b/c I've seen this video before in a debate and couldn't find any outside confirmation.}
Remember some people think making your children believe in religions that have little confirming evidence is also a form of abuse.

No, I have seen this kid elsewhere, and it's disgusting to me that parents let their 8-year-old be a "drag queen." Just let kids be kids, FFS! This is OBVIOUSLY done by the parents.
Well, did you notice the mom's obligatory "no Nazis" vest patch? Lol! I wonder if her and hubby there like to punch Nazis in their free time.No, I have seen this kid elsewhere, and it's disgusting to me that parents let their 8-year-old be a "drag queen."
