Maybe that's why there weren't many teen births..they COULDN'T get pregnant

But reading 7 and 8 years old is pretty scary. The body maturing before the mind.

Drugs are given to inhibit the growth of breasts and start of menses.

It's wonderful news for enlightened and educated people. For the rest of America, well... They're angry about everything anyway, so why should we care?

You should also be able to choose your race or even age and have legal rights protecting that status. Racial identity has become mostly unimportant but programs like affirmative action are still in place if only for a little while longer. A young person could get educational or employment considerations. And a person could choose to be a certain age and get whatever benefits that age acquires, i.e. social security, senior discounts,medicare, etc. Put on a grey wig or dye your hair, maybe some make up. Or be granted minor status, free education, housing and even get the right to foster care. Sex, age , race, its all a matter of identifying as what you want and choosing to live as that group.
Think about it.

It was about 16.5 in this country for a girl to start her cycle. The shift from a more plant based diet to a meat rich diet has lowered it, as has the amount of hormones pumped into the american diet, and use of plastics.

It is amazing so many people who listen the the mantra of "I was born this way" raise their children as gender neutral and allow these types of decisions, ignoring the fact that the children were "born that way".
