Someone else in the comment section somewhere gave some links that I can go over relating specifically to what you're saying.

I'm taking a look over them to help form an opinion. Haven't look at enough to really say any more on the matter yet. Although, I really don't think that some of the concerns brought up on the other side is completely off-base either.

I think there was another comment that presented what most likely happened a little clearer and made much more sense. I think I can agree with. It mentioned breast reduction surgery which is already done on people 16 years old not relating to trans stuff. If that's the case, it makes much more sense to me.

I was mostly pointing out the odd fact that the original argument was that there wasn't surgery done on minors and then proceeded to support it by saying surgery was done on them while they were a minor.

While I understand the suicide aspect, there are alternatives to managing those kinds of issues that don't involve surgery.

My account isn't very old and many of the posts were mostly within the same thread about the same topic. It's not like I'd discuss everything I think in a single thread.

Feel free to ask me what I think about specific topics and I'm most likely willing to share.

But... You just said you were physically altered you when you are still considered a child. What would have been the issue until waiting until you are considered an adult?

While you may possibly be an exception, the first linked video gives counter points directly relating to what you are saying right now.

Wouldn't conservatives want the opposite? More local governance with more personal freedom?

I do agree that the abortion should be pro-choice, but it seems like you're expanding it to be much larger than just this issue.

It's been less than an hour since posting and both videos are over an hour. It seems like you didn't take the time to listen to what I was trying to show.

That's fine if you don't want to take the time, but that seems disingenuous to me since you are posting what you did.

To my understanding, there hasn't been enough evidence to prove that either way. That's the problem, they are essentially being experimented on and abusing a parent's fear to do it. Then some states are now forcing some of these practices into law which I know can have severe side effects.

I recommend watching this speech first: https://youtu.be/DWbxIFC0Q2o

And then maybe an interview with someone who regretted their surgery: https://youtu.be/6O3MzPeomqs

To be clear, I'm saying one side is completely bad is what I'm mainly calling out here. There isn't "The bad side", there's extremes that have gone too far.

Looked at the image you provided. I can see your point about some of the sightlines. For regular commuting in most circumstances, I'll give you it. But that's the thing, you seem to be assuming a very specific circumstance and applying it to everything. You are trying to take a role of a general passenger vehicle for daily commute and applying it to a vehicle meant for work.

So yes, for regular commuting I'd say you are 100% right. But there are uses outside of such a limited scope.

You can't possibly know each person's reasoning on why they may need or not need a particular thing. Saying someone cannot get it at all will end up hurting the little guy. The person why can't go through all the hoops to get some random exception for their specific use case.

You talk about it being dangerous, doesn't every driver go through roughly the same certification process for that state? If you're problem is the quality of their driving, you should be pushing for higher standards for getting a license

You say they are wasteful on gas. Wouldn't that mean the owner would need to pay extra money out of pocket to maintain it's use? They are bearing the cost extra cost of ownership, so why not let them use it? For example, you are probably paying for internet. Should I be allowed to stop you from using the internet you paid for because I don't agree with your reasoning? No, and that's completely ridiculous.

Yup, to add on, with all those restrictions somehow it's still a crime ridden mess over there.

Seems it isn't free anymore

I wouldn't say it is "Year of the linux desktop!" But I do think eventually it will take up much more of the market of OS use. Maybe years and years away.

Linux has come a very long way. I found it is actually easier in many ways to Mac and Windows, more complicated in others.

For general use, and even gaming, it's actually in a really good state for general users right now.
