Sterilizing minors in any other context is seen as a human rights violation. NO ONE who points that out is assuming any particular child is necessarily going to want to reproduce in the future. It's about the ethics of child sterilization, as Sahar Sadjadi pointed out in 2013.pic.twitter.com/9LCaQqpsy5
Even those doing the sterilizing (well, some of them) realize it's a thorny issue.pic.twitter.com/kd5VUAvx1N
Thread would not be complete without mentioning the many stories of "pregnant men" in the media (who transitioned after puberty), who state they "never thought" they would want to have bio children....until they changed their minds.
It would also not be complete without sharing this condescending clip by top US gender psychologist Ehrensaft, who claims parents who hesitate to sterilize their 12-year-old are just selfish people who only care because they want grandchildren. https://vimeo.com/185178522
So, this gaslighting by (mostly) adult-transitioning MTFs (many of whom have fathered children) needs pushback. Ethical ppl who don't believe tweens should be permanently sterilized aren't "Handsmaid Tales" zealots who want women barefoot & pregnant.https://4thwavenow.com/2017/01/26/shriveled-raisins-the-bitter-harvest-of-affirmative-care/ …
One of many ironies in trans-activist justification of child sterilization is the (supposed) concern for a child's "bodily autonomy."But when child's parents sign off on chemical sterilization, child's future "autonomy" has been proactively limited--to what child wanted at age 12
