Making it so you can’t make permanent changes to your body until you’re an adult is persecution? Are children being persecuted because they can’t get tattoos until they’re adults?

When considering the argument about the restriction on transition care
until adulthood, it's important to note that access to appropriate
medical care for transgender youth has been linked to improved mental
health outcomes and a higher survival rate. Studies have shown that
transgender individuals who have access to gender-affirming care, such
as puberty blockers and hormone therapy, experience lower rates of
suicide and mental health issues compared to those who do not have
access to such care. Its something that contributes to
their overall well-being and improve their chances of a healthy and
fulfilling life.

Not allowing children to go to drag shows is not persecution either. They’re inherently sexual and we don’t allow children into strip clubs either.

Theater has a long history of performers wearing clothing traditionally associated with the opposite gender. Shakespearean plays, for instance, featured male actors playing female characters. Drag shows continue this tradition of artistic expression, challenging gender norms, and exploring different perspectives. Theater is only sexual when is sexual, drag is not necessarily sexual.

"Schools should not hide names and pronouns used by students without parental knowledge."

Consider how it would feel to choose between your well-being and being addressed with a pronoun that aligns with your identity.

All that being said, you came here ready with the vocabulary, arguments and opinions of a republican, even speedrunning for the word groomer. If you start to care about persecution then the wikipedia page is a good start, but since you came here already not caring and ready to make a point to your public I'm probably going to leave you alone

When I read what you wrote, being a foreigner, I can only read unenumerated rights as "rights people should have but here we don't" specially because I see you guys losing rights in different places in the USA all the time. You guys need a constitution that put to paper your rights as human beings

That's a lot of wishful thinking, you don't have the rights that exist in your head and not in paper, even if you really wish it and you really think that other people agree that those are rights too

The news of Americans losing rights like the recent persecution of trans people must be an hallucination I had, those right were surely protected
