Oregon now allows 15-year-olds to get state-subsidized ‘sex-change’ operations without parental consent

The list of things 15-year-olds are not legally allowed to do in Oregon is long: Drive, smoke, donate blood, get a tattoo — even go to a tanning bed.


But, under a first-in-the-nation policy quietly enacted in January that many parents are only now finding out about, 15-year-olds are now allowed to get a sex-change operation. Many residents are stunned to learn they can do it without parental notification — and the state will even pay for it through its Medicaid program, the Oregon Health Plan.


“It is trespassing on the hearts, the minds, the bodies of our children,” said Lori Porter of Parents’ Rights in Education. “They’re our children. And for a decision, a life-altering decision like that to be done unbeknownst to a parent or guardian, it’s mindboggling.”


In a statement, Oregon Health Authority spokeswoman Susan Wickstrom explained it this way: “Age of medical consent varies by state. Oregon law — which applies to both Medicaid and non-Medicaid Oregonians — states that the age of medical consent is 15.”…

That's just nuts. Along with the above list, children should not be allowed to make life altering or medical decisions, including surgery and marriage, until they are adults.

Nothing really sinister here. 15 years is their state medical age of consent. Sex changes are covered now under state Medicaid.

If Oregon doesn't like this they should just change their medical age of consent.

Also, it's not like a teenager can just walk into a clinic as Jill and stroll out as Jack. This is a lengthy process with a lot of psychological testing and screening involved.

What do you call "adult"?

What do you call "adult"?

Someone who has completed high school or an equivalent and is at least over 18 years of age.

It makes no sense that teenagers under 18 are not permitted to smoke, drink, get a tattoo, piercings, etc. but they should be allowed to make a life altering decisions that will permanently change them for the rest of their lives?

If 18 is the benchmark (and I'm fine with that) then it should be the drinking age too.

But are you saying someone who doesn't complete high school or an equivalent should not be considered an adult?

Age wise, certainly. Insofar as wisdom, not so much. Being able to complete grades K through 12 does make a difference.

Welcome to the agenda of the behavior that you've been defending for many years now Sandy (surely you must have known that children play a huge part of the LGBTQ movement).

Technically he is correct on this point: other people's kids are the key.

Was not defending that part at all. I hope you know me better than that.

Of course, I knew that *you* were not accusing me of that.

I was hoping that by now you've realized there is a bit more to the LGBTQueer movement than what two consenting adults do in private (be it the privacy of public restroom toilet stalls, public park bushes, bathhouses or one's own sodomy chambers).

Were you not aware long ago that the LGBTQueer movement has been pushing cross dressing and puberty blocking drugs for gender confused children?

Quit confusing me for someone who supports any special *movement*. I support equal rights for law abiding citizens.

Goodness forbid that you should actually read the replies of others prior to responding.

If he actually read them and comprehended them, he wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Making blind assumptions to support his own twisted reality is so much easier.

Indeed. I thought I made my position clear in regards to sex changes for underage minors. I am AGAINST it. Just as I am against marriage for underage minors.

Well then, you should support the Oregon law that allows 15 year olds to get state subsidized sex change operations without parental consent.

But this is nothing new for the sexual anarchist movement. They hand out birth control to children without their parent(s) consent. They also take away parental rights by not allowing sexually confused children (in several states, soon to be nationwide) to seek therapy to help them with their same sex desires.

So you see Sandy, everything here is legal.
