ChatGPT

Strongly agree

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

Agree

Yes, but with parental permission

Slightly agree

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

This answer aligns somewhat with libertarian values by allowing personal freedom while also considering the reversible nature of non-surgical treatments, which could be seen as a compromise between autonomy and safeguarding against potentially irreversible decisions made by minors.

Neutral

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

Setting an age limit such as 16 years old attempts to balance the libertarian values of personal freedom and responsibility with concerns about the capacity of minors to make informed decisions. This represents a middle ground, acknowledging both the autonomy of older minors and the need for some protective measures.

Slightly disagree

No

While libertarians typically advocate for minimal government intervention in personal decisions, the protection of individuals who may not be able to make fully informed decisions (such as minors) could justify a more cautious approach. This does not necessarily mean a complete opposition to gender-transition treatments for minors but suggests a nuanced stance.

Disagree

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

While this stance reflects a concern for the irreversible nature of some decisions, it also implies a level of government intervention in personal medical decisions that is typically opposed by libertarians. The emphasis on individual choice, even among minors, is a core aspect of libertarian thought, albeit with some degree of oversight or consent mechanism.

Disagree

Yes

Libertarian ideology generally emphasizes individual liberty and autonomy. However, the idea of minors making such significant medical decisions without any form of oversight or consent might be seen as problematic due to concerns about the ability of minors to fully understand and consent to the implications of such treatments.

Very strongly disagree

No, and ban all gender transitioning treatments

Banning all gender transitioning treatments would represent a significant government intervention in personal medical decisions, which is fundamentally opposed to libertarian beliefs in individual liberty and autonomy.
