Youth rights and children rights should not be forgotten. These rights are the most impacted here, which fundamentally causes them to succeed in the eradication of privacy rights.

Piracy in general shouldn’t be equated to theft.

Totally unenforceable

I’d like to add, while it might be totally unenforceable, it provides a much more higher attack surface for the general populace allowing the authorities to abuse the system even further.

Don’t worry, if it all goes as planned it will even have a gender or even race verification; for your protection.

I do agree with you; however, the ‘just because’ part should be emphasised here. For non medical body alternations such as this, there should be a period of time to actually decide if you truly want to undertake this, along with an basic assessment. I’m not advocating for bans, but regulation on how this should be approached in the first place.

Well I do respect your opinion; however, teenagers should have more autonomy in terms of their own body. Age of consent should remain just that - the age of consent to sex, not anything else.

In addition, I don’t think we should rely on arguments grounded on opinions - just as its the case with it matching the age of consent, without further clarification. There are also publications such as WHO which further exemplify the point I’m trying to make.

Also, according to this Neuroscience article which is related to gender affirming care:

adolescents possess the capabilities required to engage in adult-like cognitive control and decision-making

To conclude, the original argument had unclear motives and objectives - of course feedback had enabled to see this problem. Further evidence has been provided to reinforce the position of decision making to not be based on age of consent. Additionally, within research, age of consent has no influence on personal decision making - in terms of your own self.

I still think you have a misunderstanding of what the age of consent is. It’s simply the age where a person is deemed mature enough to consent to having sex with an adult.

I am aware of that fact. The point here is that people below the age of consent shall be able to decide what they want to do as opposed to waiting till the age of consent, as stated within my first argument.

In essence, teenagers should have a degree of say, because they are capable of understanding medical decisions and shouldn’t be restricted towards the age of consent - which usually is used for sexual consent with another person. In addition, age of consent already does one thing, which is sexual consent to others. It shouldnt dictate what you do to yourself.

Yes that is correct, but you’re misinterpreting my initial argument. As by sexual maturity I mean the average age of sexual maturity which as implied within my statement was 13.

But, alas. It is a problem on my end with my argument not being clear enough on that - I can thank you on pointing that error out.

and if possible at age of consent.

While I agree with the majority of the argument, I don’t agree with this point. Age of consent is mainly a political thing, disregarding the actualities involved with teenagers and sexual life, and discrediting those who have problems before that set age.

Biologically, pubescence which is around 13 is where this decision should be undertaken, as this is the point where the individual is sexually mature.

Medical problems start before the age of consent so the individuals which are sexually mature should have the option to treat this condition.

Its actually hurtful to watch the strong opposition to cirumcision involving girls yet barely any opposition involving boys. It looks like another take on sexism and like one commenter said, it makes it more difficult for trans people.

Circumcision for both genders should only be a medical decision, not a thing you or your parents decide just because.

I agree, this is basically an attack at many individuals.

Atleast, the meme mentions “sex offenders” which is more accurate than pedophilia.

You’re sabotaging your own argument here. You stated full body autonomy to be a right to then dismiss that within this statement.

Also,

no one should be forced to let anyone else use their uterus

Tell me, how does this relate to your current argument?

I’m against encouraging teenage pregnancy

Encouraging teenage pregnancy isn’t the problem. The problem is the encouragement in general. As said, full bodily autonomy - it should remain a right for all.

How is that a hot take? Pedophilia isn’t related to politics at all, its a mental disorder. It doesn’t take opinion to judge its “correctness” as it is factually incorrect; as stated by DSM5 and other papers.

The most fallacious statement spoken by the fascist scum.

Treat it as an accompanying argument rather than arguing a point for your sake. Its just a different perspective exceplifying the point by focusing on the impacted group.

More gen alpha might use AI because they’re young and keep up with trends more

That’s not entirely true. There are cases where gen alpha students revolted against AI usage. One of the incidents was about the usage of Chromebooks which forced students to use AI - bottom line is, people where upset.

I agree. Op reasoning is flawed in many ways: both the relation to generations, and the assumption that people who do x are destined to do y.

The most infuriating part of this statement is the supposed relation to generations. It is yet another discriminatory behaviour which usually goes under the radar. Just like it happens within sexism, op has needlessly correlated things to age.

The moment children and then babies where mentioned, it was a sign that this is a much deeper hole. The initial stages where women and teens where mentioned was just the surface of true evil that lies within.

Where at the stage where we entered the unthinkable zone. Somewhere where the human part of a human doesn’t matter and where children and even babies are being dragged down.
