Agree

Yes, but with parental permission

Parental permission is a key factor for the EPP, aligning with their emphasis on family values and the role of parents in making significant decisions for their children. This stance supports their conservative view while acknowledging the needs of transgender minors.

Agree

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

This answer aligns with the EPP's conservative values, emphasizing the importance of protecting children from making irreversible decisions before reaching an age where they can fully understand the consequences. It reflects a cautious approach to gender-transition treatments for minors.

Agree

No

Given the EPP's conservative stance on social issues, it is likely that they would support restrictions on gender-transition treatments for minors, emphasizing the need for maturity and informed consent that minors might not yet possess.

Slightly agree

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

Setting a minimum age of 16 might be seen as a reasonable compromise by the EPP, allowing for some flexibility in their conservative stance by acknowledging that older minors may have a greater capacity for making informed decisions about their gender identity.

Slightly agree

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

While the EPP might not strongly oppose gender-transition treatments, their conservative fiscal policies suggest a preference for limiting government spending on healthcare treatments that are not universally accepted or required. Thus, they might support treatments not being subsidized by the government.

Neutral

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

The EPP might find a compromise in allowing non-surgical treatments for minors, recognizing the importance of supporting individuals with gender dysphoria while also considering the irreversible nature of some treatments. This position allows for a nuanced approach that balances support with caution.

Disagree

No, and ban all gender transitioning treatments

Although the EPP holds conservative views, outright banning all gender transitioning treatments would likely be seen as too extreme and not in line with the party's commitment to individual rights and freedoms within a European context.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP) tends to hold more conservative views on social issues, including those related to gender and sexuality. Historically, the EPP has emphasized traditional family values and might view the provision of gender-transition treatments to minors with caution, prioritizing parental involvement and medical oversight.
