Says a ton. You are an extremely liberal teacher and don’t have kids. If you had kids for yourself, like the one’s you actually care about, you would likely have a much different perspective. Kids, especially 14-18 are illogical, temperamental beings that don’t really know what they are doing. They don‘t make good decisions on much of anything for the most part and it’s the most worrisome time as a parent there is. Why would there be an issue holding them off until they are 18? What is the harm in giving them 2 more years to mature mentally and then let them make their own decisions. If my daughter, who is 15 came to me and said “I don’t like my tits so I want a boob job”, my answer would be the exact same if she came and said she wanted to turn into a boy. You have to mature and live a little of your life with a sane brain and then it can be discussed.
