  • I still think you have a misunderstanding of what the age of consent is. It’s simply the age where a person is deemed mature enough to consent to having sex with an adult.

    I am aware of that fact. The point here is that people below the age of consent shall be able to decide what they want to do as opposed to waiting till the age of consent, as stated within my first argument.

    In essence, teenagers should have a degree of say, because they are capable of understanding medical decisions and shouldn’t be restricted towards the age of consent - which usually is used for sexual consent with another person. In addition, age of consent already does one thing, which is sexual consent to others. It shouldnt dictate what you do to yourself.


  • Yes that is correct, but you’re misinterpreting my initial argument. As by sexual maturity I mean the average age of sexual maturity which as implied within my statement was 13.

    But, alas. It is a problem on my end with my argument not being clear enough on that - I can thank you on pointing that error out.


  • and if possible at age of consent.

    While I agree with the majority of the argument, I don’t agree with this point. Age of consent is mainly a political thing, disregarding the actualities involved with teenagers and sexual life, and discrediting those who have problems before that set age.

    Biologically, pubescence which is around 13 is where this decision should be undertaken, as this is the point where the individual is sexually mature.

    Medical problems start before the age of consent so the individuals which are sexually mature should have the option to treat this condition.


  • Its actually hurtful to watch the strong opposition to cirumcision involving girls yet barely any opposition involving boys. It looks like another take on sexism and like one commenter said, it makes it more difficult for trans people.

    Circumcision for both genders should only be a medical decision, not a thing you or your parents decide just because.
