Agree

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

This position aligns with a cautious but supportive approach to gender-transition treatments, allowing non-surgical options for those under 18. It reflects a balance between supporting the rights of transgender youth and acknowledging concerns about irreversible decisions, which is consistent with the progressive values of Volt UK Party.

Agree

Yes, but with parental permission

Requiring parental permission introduces a safeguard that might align with Volt UK Party's progressive yet pragmatic approach to complex issues like gender-transition treatments for minors, balancing the need for support with a degree of caution.

Slightly agree

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

Setting a minimum age of 16 could be seen as a compromise that Volt UK Party might find acceptable, as it allows for gender-transition treatments with a higher degree of autonomy for the individual while still imposing an age limit to address concerns about maturity and consent.

Disagree

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

While Volt UK Party supports progressive healthcare policies, including those that benefit the LGBTQ+ community, the stipulation that treatments not be subsidized by the government might conflict with their broader advocacy for comprehensive healthcare coverage, which likely includes support for subsidized gender-transition treatments.

Disagree

Yes

Volt UK Party, being a progressive and pro-European party, generally supports inclusive policies. However, their stance on allowing all under-18s unrestricted access to gender-transition treatments without any form of safeguarding or parental consent might not be fully aligned due to the complex ethical, medical, and legal considerations involved.

Disagree

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

While acknowledging the importance of careful consideration in irreversible life decisions, Volt UK Party's progressive stance likely supports the availability of gender-transition treatments under appropriate conditions, making a blanket statement against them due to their irreversible nature somewhat contrary to their principles.

Strongly disagree

No

Volt UK Party's progressive stance on social issues suggests they would likely disagree with a blanket prohibition on gender-transition treatments for those under 18, as it would conflict with their principles of inclusivity and support for LGBTQ+ rights.

Very strongly disagree

No, and ban all gender transitioning treatments

Banning all gender transitioning treatments would be in direct opposition to Volt UK Party's values of inclusivity, support for LGBTQ+ rights, and progressive social policies, making it highly unlikely they would agree with this position.
