Reply to comment by Impossible_PhD in Kaiser Permanente Sued Over Hormone Therapy by derpwild

Explain how anything you said supports the bolded statement? It seems perfectly reasonable based on those guidelines that a misguided 13 year old could start HRT, they just say it's an edge case.

Visible confusion

The... The last two bullet points? Did you not read them? Kids can't give independent informed consent, and SoC7 requires it. Generally speaking, and every person is different, it's not until around 16 that a person develops that ability, though occasionally they'll twig it at 15.

It's a question of brain development. This stuff is really well-settled in psychology, medicine, and law.

Okay, first of all, I did no such thing. I am just stunned at your audacity.

Second of all, WPATH Standards of Care don't exist in a vacuum. They have to conform and respond to all pediatric standards of care as well, and if a person was treated as you suggest, they would not have been treated under standard of care, and KP would be lying.

I will not be responding to you further, given your behavior.
