The conservatives voted for body autonomy and ban mask mandates... and then banned body autonomy for transgendered children

Children can't vote but their parents can and their base fear government telling them how to raise their children. This strategy forces liberals into a no win situation were they will always look like their goal is to brainwash their kids. That fear is something a lot of fence sitters already fear.

Brainwashing kids by not injecting the state into private medical decisions?

I don't get it, but fear is not rational.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It is a type of reasoning, just a bit twisted. By giving kids the ability to transition or seek medical interventions, you're also taking away the parents ability to control their kids, forced by the state which is a quick jump on the conclusions map to the other belief they've set up previously which is the state is brain washing kids to become trans through the state run education system.

So in their view, the liberals are forcing trans ideology on children while trying to remove parental rights.

Their view is that children are their property.

Yup, which they kind of are in a way.a parent is responsible for them legally until 18.

No. Responsibility is not ownership. You have an obligation to your kids, not the other way around. If the kid doesn't want to tell you a profound secret about who they are, then it's time to reflect on your parenting, not to get the government to force teachers to rat them out.
