If kids can give informed consent doesn’t the entire argument for not fucking kids cause they can’t consent go right out the window? I do not believe kids can give informed consent because they don’t have the capacity, context or knowledge to foresee the consequences of their actions

Personally as a nearly 40 year old I would be horrified by 12 year old me making irreversible life changes for current me

What is with people being absolutely unable to reconcile ‘children should have some input over their own healthcare decisions, actually’ with ‘grown adults should not be able to sexually prey on children’?

Knowing your gender is so different to having sex that I’m having trouble believing anyone is bringing it up sincerely.

12 year old you (unknowingly) made the irreversible life change of going through the default puberty. Plenty of people regret making that choice.
