Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Its for minors. Minors can not consent to tattoos, much less "gender affirming care"
It's in the title too!
That's what liars claim, yes. The article details how that's a lie, at length. You don't give a shit. You're here to spread lies.
Is there any other obvious oppression of marginalized groups you wish to deny?
Probably whichever one conservatives are angry at today
Depending on the state, minors can absolutely consent to tattoos if they have approval from their parents.
It's stupid, but legal.
Also, let's not pretend that Florida's government gives a flying fuck about children.
it's a fucky bug with the version of lemmy that lemmy.world is using - I have the same issue.
Do you feel this strongly about circumcision?
Yeah, it should be outlawed. Thankfully most here seem to agree with that
Don't you think it's a little odd that most of the people against gender affirming care for children don't have a problem with circumcision? Because, frankly, you're the first person I asked who was against both. No nose jobs or breast reduction for teenage girls either, right?
No, it's not odd. I'm well aware of what a circlejerk is.
And yes, no nose jobs for teenage girls. Breast reductions, sure, if there's back problems or whatever the case might be.
I see, so back problems should lead to plastic surgery but suicide that can be averted through medication shouldn't be tried. Interesting.
Breast reduction is not plastic surgery. Its literally getting weight off your chest. Some women have over twenty pounds of breasts, it can be a serious medical problem.
