Some choose to have parts added.Actually the original OP was more reasonable, because some people really do choose to have body parts removed.
If they have to cure a mental disease by pretending that the person is correct, and then adding a body part, they aren’t really doing their job.Or simply accept the fact that Gender Dysphoria is a real thing, not just a fad.

Why?If they had 3 legs, yes
Are you unaware of so-called sex change operations?Reference please.
To tie their shoes. Assuming their arms have fingersWhy?
Are you unaware of so-called sex change operations?
But that's Hammy's MO. You must be new?So that's it? That's all you've got? Nobody getting a third arm?
Why did you use as an example something that absolutely never happens?
Why didn't you simply ask if people would approve of their child having a sex change operation, instead of trying to cleverly dance around the issue? In which case most reasonable people would simply choose to do that which is in the best interest of the child, as difficult as that may be for them to accept or understand. Of course unreasonable people will put their moral indignation above all else and steadfastly refuse to accept the possibility that genders, like many physiological conditions, aren't always black and white.
There's no reason to think that Gender Dysphoria is anything other than a perfectly normal human condition. People are different, they always have been and they always will be. But being different isn't a sin, or a crime, unless narrow minded people choose to make it so.
Some of the greatest atrocities ever committed by man have been perpetrated on the few, simply because they were different from the many. I choose to believe that we'll be judged not by how we treat those with whom we agree, but how we treat those with whom we don't. Might... real or imagined, doesn't make one right, it only makes them accountable.
Nuh uh, your argument is stupid.It was in line with the stupid argument presented.
Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you will make a difference. Hopefully positive.Nuh uh, your argument is stupid.
Polite adults either ignore something they find "stupid" and I doubt you even find it stupid, or they point out the flaw in the argument. Stupidity, or the lack of intelligence, is generally reflected in the inability to do the latter and resort of name calling.
I don't believe it's a normal human condition. There are too many cases now. its almost a fad and so many parents are lost from God and following along with their childrens requests to keep up with the Joneses. We've never seen this volume before and that's the moral decay and moving away from God. A Christian parent would recognize what this is and would never allow it. We all need to stand up for God's principles and stop giving in to the world. The children are what we have allowed to run amuck. We as in the world outside of the Lord. It's up to the christian to turn the world around and reverse this mess.STAND STRONG! This going on with the children wasn't here 10 years ago. We got lax with the gays and other moral values. We give the devil an inch and it becomes a mile.So that's it? That's all you've got? Nobody getting a third arm?

Yes, a case by case basis with the goal of making the child’s life better. This would involve weighing the severity and persistence of their psychological discomfort against the lifelong consequences of losing a limb. The principle is the same for someone who may be transgender.Are you then promoting a case by case approach with nothing off the table?
In the transgender issue it seems to me to be a misnomer. Sex does not align with gender so the sex is changed, not the gender. Gender cannot be changed. Shouldn't it be transexual? Back to the child with the unwanted arm.
What is that child's truth? He or she has two arms as is the norm for humans. But is not at peace with this situation. Of course the first step ought to be counselling. There is a big WHY that needs to be understood. But what is the priority? The desired goal? What is in the child's best interest? That is a question more difficult than it seems.
I guess you don’t understand the point of thought experiments. I don’t think this is the thread for you.So that's it? That's all you've got? Nobody getting a third arm?

It’s more or less directed to these folksI understand the point of this thread but the guilty parent is not at this site because they are not christians. You can't reach them here.
But that almost sounds like you're saying their sin is worse then others.practice is the key but if they alter God's creation it's probably only once and so not a practice. I don't know whether any of these folks would not know better? Perhaps you should have had a poll? Has any of your respondent's defended this barbarian practice? I saw one but didn't check to see if he is listed as christian.its hard to understand the mind of these parents other then to say they know nothing of God. Some day though, i wonder what will happen when they wake up and want a reversal. Will God forgive them if they reverse it?It’s more or less directed to these folks
and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

LolWe shouldn't be arming children.
I know the NRA says otherwise, and there is that song, "Head, shoulders, not the toes, not the toes"
But anyway, I'm against the arming of children.
The problem is at that age do they really know what is right for them. They should be at an adult age. Let them have their own guilt instead of laying it on their parents. I'm not condoning it at any age I'm just sayingYes, a case by case basis with the goal of making the child’s life better.

As to your sex change comment, you are correct. The person’s gender isn’t changed by a surgery. Instead, they are having an operation to have their sex align with their gender. That’s why it’s sometimes called gender affirmation surgery, not gender-changing surgery.
It depends on if it is the left or the right. If it was the left that the child thinks isn't real, then it should be removed as the left arm is sinister.
