    So, to be clear I think this is a fantasic idea and needed, but I don’t actually see it happening. Children aren’t a voting group who can advocate for their own rights, while conversely psychos like that in the image above will be quite vocal about “goverment interference”.

    While something like this should be bipartisan and common sense to enforce basic facilities for children. I am certain that R’s would insist on “not ‘trans’ing’ children” or the rights of unborn children and the whole thing dies as part of culture war BS.

    Maybe I’m jaded, but I don’t see how this could progress.

      You’ve identified a key problem with top down “representative” democracy.

      History hasn’t ended. We can evolve.
