Then morally don’t do it yourself and leave everyone else to make their own decisions.
Why do so many people care about what other people do to their own bodies?
They oppose bans on care. But a slight majority thinks it’s wrong to transition.
I think that’s what you’re looking for. They don’t want to do it, but don’t want to ban anyone who’s doing it.
The title could’ve been more clear, thanks for providing that clarification
“But a slight majority thinks it’s wrong to transition.”
Looks like someone forgot what freedom was about and needs to be educated on it.
I think the people surveyed agree with you here. They’re saying that they’re opposed to the surgery, but they don’t want to ban the surgeries even though they oppose them.
There are many misconceptions here. For instance, a sizeable fraction of the public believes that minors receive a sex-change surgery (they don’t) as opposed to just medication and therapy. I think most people are mostly worried that it is easy to transition and kids might do it without considering the consequences. These myths could be easily dispelled if they actually talk to transgenders.
And we also should allow alcohol and drugs for minors. And weddings of course.
Kind of a weak argument, we currently ignore the first part almost entirely from a legal perspective, I don’t remember the last time a child or parent got in trouble for a kid sneaking booze under age. They get in trouble for the things they do while drunk, but not the drinking itself. The parents get talked to, but unless they bought them the alcohol there’s no repercussions.
As for the the weddings, they are still legal with no effective minimum age in 4 US states (and there are multiple marriages a year as young as 12) and about half the states only restrict it to age 16+
