The concept that "children belong to their parents" undermines the ability of the community to protect children from abuse and their human rights. It is also foundational to the misogynistic belief that a wife is also the property of the husband.
Just quietly, FamilyVoice probably doesn't meet the requirements for a charity status anymore since they have become very political which is a disqualifying factor according to the ACNC...
And that's before we consider the harm that banning gender affirming care for minors causes.
Interesting how they don’t believe in parental rights when the parents actually support their transgender children with appropriate and scientifically proven gender affirming care.
That is disgusting. Children aren’t possessions and I will never understand how some parents would rather risk their children dying than support the use of puberty blockers and gender affirming surgery
Gender affirming surgery should not be available for children (u16s) except in really exceptional circumstances (eg dual genitalia).. However, puberty blockers should be.. this allows a child to grow up and make a rational choice about themselves whilst avoiding unnecessary damage from puberty.
Yeah children don’t “belong” to anyone, what a gross thing to say. When you become a parent, you get what you get and you don’t get upset! Your child is their own human being and they decide how they’re going to do that, not the parents!
Almost in the same breath they say "children belong to their parents, not the state", and yet also assert the state has the right to override parents' say in the decision about access to social media.
Family First, stay the f... out other people's private lives!
Recognises the immaturity of young people? But OK to lock 'em up at 10y.o.? The Age ban is the most dangerous stalking horse surveillance ever to be imposed on a democratic nation. Imagine that power in the hands of LNP? They'll expand it to everything imaginable.
"Kids belong", "Identity Confusion" and finally "puberty blockers" being "harmful"..
All #redflag terms of the far right #bigots who would have same sex marriage banned, the legalisation of gender conversion therapy and promoted as the default go to instead of professionals etc.
But, of course, just like in America, they will still be allowed to prescribe them for nice children who just happen to go through precocious puberty because thats not at all the same thing.
Bastards.

The bald-faced ‘children are property’ statement is deeply concerning.
But that’s not consistent with their calls for a blanket ban
The world would be a better place.

They only believe in abuse.

“Parent’s rights!”
“Oh except for the parents who actually listen to their children, no rights for them!”

lol
But he wants the state to intervene in medical decisions made between parents, their children and medical experts.
These dangerous idiots need to be shut out of all decision making processes
