I find this to be the fundamental phrase that I would come back to when answering this question. Jesus is the correct way to live life, self sacrificing, telling the Truth regardless of who it offends, as well as showing a genuine Love for those who are outcasts and down-trodden (Lazarus). Beyond this we have the implication that in order to get closer to God the father we must first accept his suffering son. We are supposed to become people who are willing to make sacrifices for what is Good True and Beautiful. "When I was hungry did you feed me?"
Telling the truth can have some value, specially if you are talking about a relationship or maybe in a professional setting. So, I can see value in pursuing “truth” and give good info.
I can see value in a society that helps out one another.
The part that I don’t understand is that why is Jesus the son of god? If he is, then why did he allow himself to get killed?

Why aren’t you already with the jewish god? Why did you decide to come to Earth instead of being with the jewish god?

On the surface both animals are very similar, they are both 4 legged beasts after all. But the main differences come from their behavior. Dogs are more obvious in how they behave. If they like you then they will walk right up to you and lick your hand. When they want to play they get excited and hand you their favorite toy for you to throw.
Cats, on the other hand, are not so obvious. If they like you they may want to rub their head against your leg, but they might also get really shy and not want to be near you.
That has to do with how their brain works, how they evaluate risk, etc.
For humans, I do think there are differences between male and female brains.
I think that it is possible for a human to be defective. Missing parts, such as a missing arm, being born without legs, being born as attached to your twin are obvious examples of defects.
There are all sorts of mental illnesses. Some are more sever than others.
So, I don’t find it unusual that seem men are attracted to men, some are attracted to both sexes.
Some men are probably born with a female brain and want to convert. Since the medical technology and know how is available now, why not allow them to get a sex change?
I wear glasses. I never see christians protesting to shut down optometrist stores, shutdown lens makers, shutdown contact makers.
The primitive humans that wrote the Bible did not understand or care for homosexuals. They simply decided to hate them and they claim to have some special batphone to the gods, so they claim they have authority of somekind. They use their authority to convince people to kill the people they hate.
Would you stone a homosexual, bisexual transgender person to death?

Would you agree with this? Should an 11 year old be legally allowed to get castrated? Should a surgeon be permitted to cut off a young boy's member and replace it with a non-functioning gash?
I hear this sort of thing quite often.
Where does this info come from? Was it on the news?
I have heard of one case where, I think it was a 15 y old received the operation and later in life, she/he sued the doctor. I think it was a case of professional misconduct.
To answer your question, I think 11 y old is too young. He should wait until maybe age 20.
