Make Decisions as Adults

To The Editor:

I am replying to Patti Reid’s comments to my letter to editor from two weeks ago, and I stand by my original letter. Children I grew up with, my children’s friends, and now those I am most close to such as grandchildren of friends, or my own grandchildren, never discuss issues of sex gender, sex change, trans, or ever talk of the woke issues happening in our country.

I find it hard to believe that a four-year-old would say “it is like being born without legs” as Ms Reid noted. No child I know that young would ever make a statement like that unless they heard it from an adult.

If in fact it is of the rare occurrence that a young child would have thoughts of their gender, it should not be acted upon until that child reaches the age of where the brain has reached maturity, in the mid 20’s, as I understand.

Children cannot make adult decisions and that is why God has given them parents.

Many of the progressive, modern liberal left have for a long time wanted the break up the family and those with religious affiliations, and what better way than to start with children.

As President Donald Trump recently stated, the liberal Democrats are waging war on reality, science, children and women. I do not believe anyone thinks it is fair for a trans woman, born with the physicality of a man, to compete in women’s sports.

No one but parents should teach any forms of sex to their children, period.

Doctors and teachers have no right until that person is an adult. In fact, the liberal left in California now want children to be able to start hormone drugs to change their sex without any parental approval needed at all. These doctors, and parents who agree, of all people, should know better and should be put in jail for child abuse.

Let the children make these decisions when they are adults.
