Self Determination

Strongly agree

Yes

The ideology of self-determination emphasizes the importance of individuals having the autonomy to make decisions about their own lives, including those related to their gender identity. Allowing people under 18 to receive gender-transition treatments aligns with this principle, as it respects their ability to understand and decide on their gender identity. However, the score is not a full 5 due to the recognition that minors may require guidance and support in making such significant decisions.

Agree

Yes, but only if they are at least 16 years old

Setting an age limit of at least 16 years old for gender-transition treatments attempts to balance the autonomy of the individual with concerns about the capacity of minors to make such significant decisions. This approach aligns with the self-determination ideology by recognizing the rights of individuals to make decisions about their gender identity while also considering developmental factors.

Agree

Yes, but only for non-surgical treatments such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy

This answer aligns with the self-determination ideology to an extent, as it allows for gender-transition treatments in a less invasive form, respecting the autonomy of individuals under 18 while also considering the implications of irreversible decisions. It represents a balanced approach, acknowledging the importance of supporting individuals in their gender identity while also taking into account the developmental stage of minors.

Agree

Yes, but with parental permission

While requiring parental permission introduces a level of oversight and potentially protects minors, it can also restrict the self-determination of individuals under 18 by placing a barrier to accessing gender-transition treatments. This condition could prevent some minors from making autonomous decisions about their gender identity, especially in unsupportive or hostile family environments.

Neutral

Yes, as long as treatment is not subsidized by the government

The ideology of self-determination focuses on the autonomy of the individual to make decisions about their own lives, rather than the financial aspects of those decisions. Therefore, whether the treatment is subsidized by the government or not is largely irrelevant to the principle of self-determination, which is more concerned with the freedom to make and act upon personal decisions.

Disagree

No, children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions

While the concern for irreversible life decisions is valid, especially for minors, the ideology of self-determination values the ability of individuals to make informed decisions about their own lives, including those related to gender identity. This stance suggests that with appropriate guidance and support, minors should have the autonomy to make such decisions.

Strongly disagree

No

Self-determination ideology would generally disagree with outright bans on gender-transition treatments for minors, as such bans restrict individual autonomy and the ability to make personal decisions regarding one's body and identity. This stance is rooted in the belief that individuals should have the freedom to explore and affirm their gender identity, even at a young age.

Very strongly disagree

No, and ban all gender transitioning treatments

Banning all gender transitioning treatments would be in direct opposition to the principles of self-determination, as it would completely remove the ability of individuals, regardless of age, to make decisions about their own bodies and identities. This would be seen as a severe restriction on personal autonomy and freedom.
