If you can't understand this, you've got serious problems. Wow.

I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that a person undergoing sex reassignment surgery is doing so of his/her own accord, and when a little girl gets her... stuff... cut off, it is, I would assume, not being done via consent. That's my wild guess.

And for the sake of argument, even if any given little girl said, "Yes, daddy, cut my parts off," that holds no water legally. The hypothetical little girl who wants to be mutilated is not at the age of legal consent to be making such a choice.

Seriously folks, think about why you even bother to respond to hate filled threads like this. You cannot enlighten these people with reason. They post threads like this because they are bitter, angry people with nothing going on in their lives so, they get their rocks off attacking people they view as "different" to make themselves feel better about their own pathetic lives. Don't give in to the trolls, let threads like this die a quick death.

Depressing. It's not that you're trying to establish a false equivalence, it's that you're doing it so badly.

But children are having gender reassignment surgery. So are you saying they are being forced to?

Apparently you don't either because you haven't provided one.

Find your spine and be honest FFS.

If anyone else genuinely wants to know, though, here are some things to get you started. Better yet, PM me and ask me, we'll start a conversation. We may end up agreeing to disagree, but at least we'll be real with one another, instead of hiding behind some BS like this guy.

You could have spent that time answering my question.
