Parents know what is best for their kids. Big government in Washington cant know what is going on in every childs life. If you value freedom this is a bad bill
The bill is to prevent irreversible surgeries that mutilate their children prior to their children turning 18.
The part you don't seem to understand is that the "transitional surgeries" remove these children from the gene pool entirely. They can no longer have children of their own, they've now been castrated.
It's a rather extreme and completely irreversible choice. The bill doesn't even prevent hormone therapy, or anything else. Merely removes the ability of parents to push their kids into something that may well ruin their lives.
By claiming parents "know what's best" when it comes to quite literally mutilating their children, you're showing yourself to be an active supporter of child mutilation.

Also, this wouldn't be "big government in Washington". This is a UK bill. The UK is not govered by Washington, genius.

i support circumcision because all cheese should be pasteurized before human consumption. i also do not support this type of law, because it infringes on the rights of parents. but think that a large hurdle should be required to clear before any reassignment surgeries are done. and i dont mean going to a trans specialist for a single opinion. im not even very in favor of hormonal treatment, but have read recently that most of it can be reversed. its a tough line to walk, but if something is reversible i dont see the moral issue with doing it within reason to children at or near teen ages. we are just not equipped with many long term studies being that the practice and number of reversed cases arent that high.
The UK bill would only prevent the irreversible surgeries. You can't reverse castration.
And the Circumcision argument is invalid. Bathing is not considered taboo. If parents can't teach their sons how to wash under their foreskin, then they aren't qualified to be parents.
