This is just an example. How is this legal?

@Glitterknickerbockers you also didn't address whether you had yourself parented teenagers, as that seemed to be important to you whether one was allowed to comment or not.

Trump said on his first day that gender type surgeries were banned in hospitals receiving federal funding. The next day, the NYT reported that two U12’s had had their mastectomies cancelled. UNDER 12’s. And there were more going up the ages.

You mean older teenagers - who could easily be 18 or 19?

Your comment that you're "not interested in child protection" speaks volumes. Every adult who says such a thing should be ashamed of themselves - protecting children - even if it were their parents' fault - should concern all of us.

Is wringing my hands about other people's poor parenting going to have any impact? Will it protect their children? Will any of the posts on this thread make any difference? Really? What have you done to improve online child safeguarding today? Simply caring doesn't equate to actually doing anything useful btw.

If you’re not interested in the topic why are you commenting?! 😂 And why are you asking me why I’m commenting on a thread about child safeguarding?! The thread is about a 13 year old on a forum called Transgender UK wanting to access HRT, and you are surprised when people want to discuss or ‘froth’ as you put it about Genderism - it’s LITERALLY WHAT IT’S ABOUT. Are you ok?!

The same old posters are saying the same old things because the same old shit is still happening when it comes to gender nonsense - which I’ll repeat again because you aren’t grasping this - IS WHAT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT. Child safeguarding includes safeguarding from gender ideology.

However if you hadn’t mentioned posters which wasn’t really relevant to the post in the first place, then said poster (note just one poster, me) wouldn’t have felt the need to to comment. So really, no point has been proven here. The regulars didn’t show up, I merely answered your point that you had to make twice before you got a bite. Also discussion evolves, of course it’s going to possibly discuss that Reddit forum in general. The clue is in the name.

Honestly, at this stage you’re making a tit of yourself.

It was relevant to mention the usual posters, because it was predictable. And here you are! One of the others turned up too but didn't feel the need to argue with me about my prediction coming true.

I told you why I'm commenting despite not being interested in the topic, I'm interested in yours and others behaviour. I find it amusing. Are you ok? You seem ruled up and confused.

If you're so superior, why are you 'biting' and doing exactly what you always do, like I said you would before you did it? You need a hobby!

I have addressed it. My daughter is not yet a teenager but she won't be having unsupervised internet access at 13.

Are your comprehension skills as poor as they appear? Like you said, you're making a tit of yourself!

You come on to a thread which at the core is genderism, moaning about genderism, and that people who are interested in genderism (and the negative effects) are going to turn up and speak about… genderism.

I couldn’t think of a more waste of my time than commenting on threads I’m not interested in because I wanted to prove some weird point that no one else cares about.

If anyone needs a hobby it’s not me 🤣. While you’re at it learn how discussion forums work.

You literally said ‘you have no experience of parenting teenagers so what do you have to add to the discussion’ whilst having no experience of parenting teenagers! 🤯

Someone is at it, or been at the Kool Aid.

No, the thread, at its core, is about children not being protected from harm online due to poor parenting. Again, this is not new, when I was a teenager we were all buying diet pills on dodgy sites and Pro Ana was everywhere.

The internet is dangerous for all sorts of reasons and parents should be protecting their children.

You're the one who made out you couldn't possibly comment on how to protect children online because you've never parented a teenager but you imagine it must be hard.

Spoiler alert, it's not hard. Just don't give them access unsupervised! Then whether it's the scary genderists or paedophiles or groomers, your child won't be harmed by them!

I just said I had no experience of parenting teenagers, not that I couldn’t possibly comment.

THIS THREAD isn’t just about child safeguarding online, it’s ALSO safeguarding from genderism ideology. Like I already said. They are linked. They aren’t mutually exclusive. Read the thread title, you seem to have forgotten about it.

You might have to look at your own comprehension skills. I’m out as you’re boring me now. Stick to commenting on threads you are actually interested in, makes for a better forum experience (in my opinion).
