Link: Uterus Transplant: Second baby in US born from womb of deceased donor

Ahh ... the battle-cry of those who make up their own 'facts' when reality does not suit their narrative. Trump has taught you well, young padawan.

Thanks, I didn't know it.

Not really well established for now but who knows where it goes in the future...

Just another off-topic opinion, but I have to wonder if men would be more likely to request a testicular transplant to restore their libidos than to produce more babies.

Strawman argument. Nobody is suggesting that. However, you want to have your cake and eat it too. You can disagree all you want, but people can also still disagree with you as well. You seem to want to be able to say what ever you want, however critical, but to not be criticized or questioned in return. You don't get to fight others and defend your point, and then turn around and claim you were merely presenting information as a neutral party. You weren't that neutral when you were singing the praises of how doctor-y and professional and scientific your sources were - until it was pointed out that they weren't. Then, suddenly, you became, in your mind at least, the neutral advocate, merely passing along a thing they found.

Anyone have anything else to add, that *is* on topic?

That when I imagine this, the situation would have to be drastic for me to agree on such treatment for my child.
IRL, I don't know any child coming close to require this, despite knowing tomboys and girly boys - they seem okay raised more or less agender.

From what I have seen on a couple documentaries about transgender kids, it seems a lot more like the child identifies as their preferred sex and are distressed that their sex doesn't match. And that is what the parent is presented with. It can certainly be a difficult thing as its also possible for children to just go through phases. So the whole treatment part can be difficult because it has to be done with caution the treatments to change their sex are more or less irreversible in some ways, but also the sooner its started the better it works. Also the sex change treatment means they won't be fertile so having children of their own would be out of the picture.

When did I use fake evidence? The last post I made after yours was pointing out that you accusation was a non sequitur and made an apt comparison to another awful organization after presenting more evidence in a previous post how awful the one you brought up earlier.

Also, if this is the way you are going to act, getting butt hurt, and acting like I am some follower of Trump, you can go pleasure yourself. I want to say more, but I don't think this website allows me to use the more colourful Australian language.

You more or less presented my own thoughts on why it's not obvious either way.
A 11yo typically still can't decide weather they wants to become an astronaut or a movie star. Some may even hope for a letter from Hogwarts. It's not the age to make big, life changing decisions... yet if puberty blockers weren't administered at that age, they wouldn't really work.

Having an option to raise my children agender, with sex reduced to reproductive abilities (my culture allows that), I almost certainly wouldn't go the way of puberty blockers for my child.

It's a complex subject , and a Mickey mouse outfit like the ACpeds brings nothing to the table . How does one differentiate between what for some may be a passing phase, but at the time is held with strong conviction , vs a child for whom it is not a passing phase?

Anecdotal. Just because you've never met them doesn't mean they don't exist. Your imagination is more correct than you think, though. It generally IS a fairly unique and drastic situation where such action is taken. You wouldn't see it all the time, cos it IS rare.

One of the problems with this discussion is (in general, not just here) it's treated like it's a lot more prolific than it really is - as though parents are just deciding on a whim left and right by the thousands to tamper with their kids hormones for lulz - when really, it is a rare situation that isn't decided upon lightly, nor upon passing or questionable reasons.

It's usually a very difficult decision made with the help of multiple medical professionals after a great deal of research and discussion over a long period of time. It's not something you just read about on a tuesday and take the kids in for a hormone shot on a friday cos it seemed like a good idea at the time. Yet people at large seem to keep talking about this subject as though it's some new diet parents are experimenting with for kicks, or the Gender Squad is going to march through the town un-gendering everyone's kids by pouring hormone blockers into the well, and enforcing mandatory non-gender classes for everyone starting in pre-school, to make sure they know gender is bad.

Making it seem like an everyday thing is just a tool to make it look scarier.

I never claimed drastic situations don't happen... but they must be quite rare and I'm still not convinced about unavoidability of them on the cultural level.
Biological sex can't be changed with current medicine. So what aspects of gender expression are so desired that are not directly linked to biological sex? Aren't they all culturally defined? Can't we rather open up our culture to broader self-expression than treat healthy bodies with serious interventions?

Just because we can does not necessarily mean we should. The UK's NHS misidentified autistic kids as gender-confused, and gave puberty blockers to as many as 150 back in 2017-2018.

Thousands of deaths have been linked to drugs used as puberty blockers for gender-confused kids.

Years ago I was insistent I wanted srs . At one point my dx was schizophrenia with disorder of gender identity . When it became increasingly likely I'd never get the green light for proceeding towards it, I was upset .

I had the choice of continuing tilting at windmills , and getting more and more stressed, or coming to terms with it .

I now wonder how much of what I felt was an autistic obsession , or a psychotic obsessive delusion . The fact is I'm a rather dysfunctional man , and would have been just as much a dysfunctional person as a woman .

Simply pointing out whether someone is left or right wing isn't winning the argument, because opinions don't change facts -- facts change opinions; or at least the should change opinions, if the person holding those opinions is rational. The Leftist/Liberal Media won't cover facts like those presented on LifeSiteNews because those facts simply don't fit the Leftist/Liberal opinion of what they believe should be true.
