This is one of those stories we WISH we could tell you was made-up.
We wish we could, but unfortunately, it’s true and it’s repugnant and it looks like a complete nightmare just waiting to happen in Oregon.
Fox News reports:
The list of things 15-year-olds are not legally allowed to do in Oregon is long: Drive, smoke, donate blood, get a tattoo — even go to a tanning bed.
But, under a first-in-the-nation policy quietly enacted in January that many parents are only now finding out about, 15-year-olds are now allowed to get a sex-change operation. Many residents are stunned to learn they can do it without parental notification — and the state will even pay for it through its Medicaid program, the Oregon Health Plan.“It is trespassing on the hearts, the minds, the bodies of our children,” said Lori Porter of Parents’ Rights in Education. “They’re our children. And for a decision, a life-altering decision like that to be done unbeknownst to a parent or guardian, it’s mindboggling.”
In a statement, Oregon Health Authority spokeswoman Susan Wickstrom explained it this way: “Age of medical consent varies by state. Oregon law — which applies to both Medicaid and non-Medicaid Oregonians — states that the age of medical consent is 15.”
You may be outraged at this point. You might want to scold Oregonians for making this terrible choice, but you’d be making a mistake and here’s why:
People, take back your children!
I like the ocean, even spent last weekend in Oregon, but the day that liberal state slips into the pacific can’t come soon enough. At least I will not have to drive too far to get to the water then.
They are dumber than rocks!
Who has the power
And what if they break an arm in gym cl$#%&!@*, can they sign to have it set, or do they have to wait for Mommy? Can’t give a friend an Aspirin at school, because that dispensing drugs, but get a Sex Change. Sure sit down!
Pisses me off when they hide the issue from the headline.
why he 15?
Okay, I have a response to this from a dude in his 20’s. It blew my mind out of the water! I flipped my lid on him.
“While 15 is the medical age of consent in the state”
Aaaaand there it is. Anyone with the right of medical consent should not have their well-being endangered at the whim of their parents. The age of consent is that low for a reason. The bigotry of parents causes m$#%&!@*ive problems for all sorts of teenagers regarding medical issues, most infamously in the case of birth control. And with transgender suicide rates at an epidemic level, this is a very needed protection.
Also, no matter who you are, you cannot just flippantly get a sex change operation like the propaganda article here suggests. There are tons of things you need to do beforehand including a psych evaluation and several months of pre-counseling.
