Again that is determined by parents not children. LEGALLY an adult can say no to any treatment, needed or not. A child however has no rights. The rights are with the parents. So if parents or state deam it needed its happening if the child wants it or not. So no children do not have a choice or right just becuase is your fantasy land you think they should.
In your imaginary world yes. In real life rights of what happens to children legally falls under parents. You can be delusional all you want. It doesn't change how stuff actually works. Though you might also be in a different country in which case its like arguing oranges and bananas.
Nothing imaginary or delusional about my world in this matter. Please see my reply to the Post Author below. How I am describing it is actually what the law is and how it works.
Yes or no do you think a 5 year old that wants to take hormones for whatever reason should be taken away from parents if the parents refuse? You are strawmanning it into a different argument.
Again, FOR ANY REASON do you think a child should be taken and parents charged because parents refused to give them hormones? Yes or no?
This is not an issue that relates to a 5 year old. Talk about a straw man argument. That's as ridiculous as it gets.
Hormone therapy is an issue that pops up after about the age of 8-10, and most commonly in the age range of 14-17.
Hormones to prevent a person developing as a midget are typically starte in the age range of 8-10. There are other medical conditions that may require hormones in this age range.
If you are talking sexual identity. That usually starts in the age range of 14+ (but can be a few years earlier for certain cases).
This is not a theoretical or imaginary construct of mine about children's rights. Courts have stepped in and overruled the parents on ensuring a child gets proper hormonal treatment appropriate to their condition so the child can develop normally (the issue is usually raised by the medical profession).
For cases of hermaphrodites you may not even know the sexual identity of the child until their teenage years.
For cases where it is clear that the child has a sexual identity different than what was assumed before.... then I do support the proper hormone treatment to assist them with their actual sexual identity once that is determined by the appropriate medical professionals. I believe that you will find that in many states in the US that the courts would intervene in those cases for the best interest of the child over a parents wishes - just as they do in other cases where hormone treatment is required for normal development of the child (and the parents have other ideas).
You are free to hold whatever belief's you wish. But, you don't get to chose the facts or the laws in these situations. The law is quite clear in all US States that Children do have rights and the courts have intervened many many times (and I believe in all states) to start hormonal treatment for a child over the objections of a parent upon recommendation of the appropriate medical professionals (and these trials always have court appointed independent medical professionals looking at the specifics of the situation). Most parents do go along and keep their child in their house. In some cases the child is removed from the house.
Again: you might wish to consider why it is that from the most conservative states to the most liberal that such laws are fairly consistent among the states; and how that matches up with your personal beliefs.
Whats your opinion on children transitioning?

The courts disagree with you. Children do have some rights.
