Should people under the age of 18 years old be able to receive gender-transition treatments?
No, children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions
The suicide rates of children who receive gender-affirming care are astronomically lower than those…
"Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population. Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group."
The suicide rates from that same study are also quite shocking. People who have undergone gender-reassignment surgery are 27 times more likely to commit suicide.
And as for the point on the divorce rate and the college major, that's the Straw man fallacy ("Refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction."), rather than an argument. It's completely irrelevant to the suicide rates you were speaking about before.
