Absolutely agree with this. When this is even a conversation, you know lobbyists (Or politicians, or perhaps marketers) have WAY too much power.

This is a stupid argument, Surtur, and you know it.
They already think they are sex objects at that age. Why else have them throw drag parties, beauty pageants, and strip shows?

Children are not consenting to hormone blockers. Their parents, who have the authority to make medical decisions for them, are deciding hormone blockers are in their best interest. If you disagree, then take it up with the medical establishment. Or you can keep arguing that children should be able to consent to sex. Although, I do not know why any thinking person would make an argument for that.

Can parents decide their 9 year old child is ready to be sexually active?

Sounds like child abuse.

The Olympic committee's, responsible for managing the Olympics image, apparently feel otherwise, and that's their right.
I wanna point out the headline is misleading because they haven't faced any discipline. Per the rules they potentially *could* face discipline. I'm doubting it, the same people calling conservatives snowflakes due to getting upset over kneeling would likewise throw a fit if these athletes are disciplined.
Though IMO, why not quit the team? If the country is so bad, why agree to represent it?
On the other hand I get it, it's not like they were gonna become famous for fencing and hammer throwing.
It's weird how when parents decide children should take hormone blockers due to one reason or another, then it is child abuse.
Meanwhile, parents choosing not to vaccinate their kids and thus making them(and other children) suffer from preventable diseases, somehow isn't...
Technically, I'd wager both are examples of child abuse(the former if the child has no need for hormonal therapy; the latter in any situation) and the doctor should have full authority in these types of circumstances to overrule the parents' decision.

A 10 yr. old being married to an adult male because mommy and daddy said yes.
Wow. No wonder some people think it's okay to have little kid drag queen stripping and being trannies and being on hormone blockers. They can just say "we let adults f*ck kids in this country, so what is your point?".
There is just a deep sickness about what we'll allow.

There needs to be an entire reconstruction of the system because of this stuff, tbh.

I think not giving them vaccines is also wrong.
But, in your opinion, are people who wanna give their kids hormone blockers as equally shunned as anti-vaxxers?
So first they're mad cuz Trump and Melania are in picture holding a baby orphaned by El Paso and they are smiling and Trump is giving a thumbs up. The narrative is Trump is a monster for wanting this photo op and the left melted down.
Then it comes out wait no the family sought out the photo op. The uncle of the child also reveals that, in fact, the child's parents were Trump supporters as well.
Now they are getting death threats.
This is TDS. People get so angry that a narrative that they felt made Trump look bad is debunked that they send death threats to those who debunked it.

However, perhaps the reasons for why Hormone-Block parents aren't as shunned is because:
1. It's not as wide-spread a problem, when you really think about it.
2. There are some instances where kids should be given hormonal therapy
3. Anti-Vaxxers tend to be insanely vocal, whereas the whole hormone thing is usually kept on the down-low
Of course, political bias plays a role as well, I'm sure. I'd judge both a parent who needlessly feeds their kid hormones(since they're still technically enforcing a gender role of some kind to the child) and parents who don't want to vaccinate their kids because they don't understand basic chemistry and biology and think "Mercury" is scary-sounding.
