//Where did I say anything like that ?
Just do not make up stories and attach them to me//

Well then it appears more than one person is using the your account. You might like to set up a new one if your current one has been compromised.

On Monday 28th September somebody - apparently not you - asserted that sexual acts which cannot produce issue are abnormal:

//The simple proof is that such activity cannot result in
procreation.//

http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=7013#214657

The alimentary passage is a completely different anatomical system to the reproductive system. Oral sex cannot possibly result in procreation, so by the reckoning of whoever it was that hijacked your account yesterday oral sex is abnormal. Of course, whoever hijacked your account yesterday is clearly barking mad, so nobody is going to pay any attention to their rantings and ravings anyway.

Sorry I mistook you for your account hijacker. You really should get that sorted out though - whoever is doing it has said some spectacularly foolish things which then reflect badly on you.

The "kids help line" is promoted in schools as an anti-bully programme. "Boystown" put the programme together which the schools have adopted. I worked for 12 years for a post graduate science professor Alexander Boden who wrote many science books for schools and universities. He was not part of the Education Department but they adopted his text. Similarly with "Kids help line".

"Do you guys have a red line, or as attitudes change, will you keep moving the goalposts?"

Anything to do with genetic and medical sciences, social and legal issues will see goalposts moving, Armchair Critic. Sometimes I suspect the goalposts are moving themselves.

But the parental consent question is valid and as vexed as it has been throughout history.

For example, in the Oregon link you referenced the age of medical consent is 15. So, of the "56 minors [who] have received assessments or therapy" the 27 who were 15-17 did not necessarily require parental consent although the report gives no information as to whether it was obtained or not. Nor do we know whether the 17 people who received hormone or other drug treatment included any from the cohort below 15, but even if this were so parental consent was required.

Of the 29 minors receiving assessments or therapy which required parental consent (<15) I hope it was of benefit to both the patient and the parents.

"What age is it ok for a stranger to sit down and discuss sex-change therapy, gender identity issues and birth control with your child, without your consent?"

Probably a meaningless question in an age when we have the smartphone equivalent of kids gossiping behind the shelter sheds... except they can do it in real-time, high definition colour and with people and sites anywhere reached by the interwebiverse.

Oh, and they are cluey enough to know how to erase phone browsing histories.

I'm trying hard to follow your thoughts in starting this thread Josephus... So are you objecting to anti-bullying programs in Education Department schools or to ones that don't encourage bullying kids perceived to have gender identity problems?

Which ignores that much of the problem for them in schools is they are bullied.

Just as some kids might be unreasonably bullied because they are so confused about their paternity they think they have a heavenly father... which is wrong, of course.

The bullying that is, although...?

Where does it say in the website put up that anyone is going to sit your child down and explain transgender sex reassignment surgery?
I think they just want to try and stop the bullying of kids who are already well aware they are different from others .
Does anyone have a problem with that?

As I have said before, I doubt that the mere mention of the words transgender or homosexual will encourage anyone to take up that identity unless they were already born that way.

Tony Lavis;
A typical cowards wriggle. You know exactly what was the meaning of
what I wrote, but you want to spin it just to be nasty.

Are you a politician, you would go far there.
I gather an apology would be too much of a climb down for you.
