Its not medically possible - what sort of nonsense question is thisEDIT: I edited the OP because some were deliberately “misunderstanding” the original OP.
If your child, with two healthy arms, came to you and said they felt they needed a third arm, would you support surgery to have an arm attached?
Age is certainly taken into account in the evaluation process.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 saying
Do you understand what hypotheticals are?Its not medically possible - what sort of nonsense question is this
As a drummer, I would answer enthusiastically yes.EDIT: I edited the OP because some were deliberately “misunderstanding” the original OP.

Sad that you’d do that to your child. But it appears I’m in the minority here. Most in the thread have no problem disfiguring their children.As a drummer, I would answer enthusiastically yes.
That's hardly true or there wouldn't be so many alarmed about it. Were talking before teens even. Good grief! If the kid only wanted one arm or leg these stupid parents would accommodate. I no longer think it's about the children.Age is certainly taken into account in the evaluation process.
If everything people were alarmed about were actually true, we’d have been crushed under the falling sky ages ago.That's hardly true or there wouldn't be so many alarmed about it.

You must hate doctors then.But how does this compare to the damage that Christians have been doing to their children for centuries now. Sure we're all familiar with the oft repeated adage to "love thy neighbor", but Christian children are just as likely to learn how godless and wicked their neighbor is, as they are to learn to have compassion for them. Transgenderism is just the latest example wherein some Christians have to be dragged kicking and screaming into having compassion for their fellow man. They'd much rather condemn them than accept them. They'd rather stand outside funeral homes with signs saying "God hates ___", than embrace them as their moral equals.
I’ve not preached hatred. It’s a bit insulting for you to say as much.Oh they'll tell you that it's the sin their condemning not the sinner, but the message, especially to the young and impressionable is the same... "those" people are evil. And no matter what, there's always going to be someone to fill the role of "those" people. The world isn't getting more immoral, people are just being people, with one group pushing the boundaries of what's socially acceptable, and another group condemning them to eternal damnation for doing so. Nothing has changed. It's the same story it's always been.
You'll go to your grave preaching hatred, and you'll teach your children to do the same... and you think transgenderism is bad. It's obviously not the pinnacle of human ambition, but it's a step. You think that you're trying to drag the lost into the promised land, I think that it's far more likely that it's them that are dragging you.
I think you might be talking about emotional maturity. And it comes down to sensitivity, being able to put ourselves in someone else's perspective.Sometimes we fail to realize how what we say will be perceived by others. We're good at masking our disdain as merely a disagreement in perspective, not realizing that people have the ability to read between the lines. They know when they're being judged demeaningly. In most cases we don't have to expressly say what we think in order for people to know how we feel.
