I can see where some young adults at or above 16 (who were early bloomers, and had lots of responsibility) could in fact be responsible enough to make such a decision.
You also have the situation of "Emancipated Minors" where the Court and State have recognized someone under the age of 18 as being competent to manage their own affairs, and their parents no longer have legal responsibilities for them. Emancipation of a minor is automatic in the USA if a minor marries, or joins the military. In most other cases these people will have court issued legal papers concerning their status and ability to sign contracts, etc.
6 year olds dont go throw puberty last I checked so is to young very obviously. The ideal time to start hrt is when puberty would naturally start. Second ideal time is before 20. After that your pretty much fucked. After 30 dont even bother.
I say this because hrt is very slow if you've gone though your natural puberty. Otherwise it takes the same time as a natural puberty wich isn't exactly fast either.
While I am mostly for kids making thier own medical decisions, I have to say no in this instance. During puberty children are very hormonal and often do not know how to process emotions correctly. So I feel like at this time they are likely going to make decisions they later regret. Im any other medical decision aside from required school shots I feel they should have the right to say no. When I was a child I had to redo bloodwork about 5 times within 2 weeks because doctor said I was skinny so they believed I was anemic. I also was very phobic of needles which everyone knew but decided to continue and tramatize me. When the test came back negitive the doctor made them redo it over and over. I would have liked the right to say no to this bullshit and I feel like doctors should care about a childs mental well being but I know they don't give a shit. Children are garbage is society afterall. We have so many teen pregnancys since teens are hormonal and schools only teach abstinence.
I agree that at a certain age and mental responsibility that young adults/children have the right to say NO.
They also have the same right to say YES.
You cannot reasonably argue for only the right to say no. If a person is old enough to make decisions on an issue. That means they can say no, yes, or ask about other options.
Young adult is anyone over 18 so they already have the right to say no to anything. Children are anything under 18. I say right to say no in any other case aside from transitioning because hormones. Before age 18 children have no right to say no to anything even if you are causing them severe mental and physical trauma.
Whats your opinion on children transitioning?

It would totally depend on the age and situation.

What if its a 6 year old? Its parents didnt want to give it hormones and the state was gonna take the child for refusal to give hormones.

That is not true. Many adults get charged with child abuse for not respecting the child's right to say no.
Children absolutely do have rights.

Im curious what right wing views do you hold? I have seen you post saying you are old school republican but all your views seem to be far left.
