No. Your point was that Trump will protect kids and non-Trump-until-now does not, which is implied by the fact that you wrote it in a list of reasons that made you vote for Trump. Because apparently, in your head, if there is not an age written in a law, it means that everybody tries to abuse kids and nobody tries to do what's best for them in good faith.

At this point I am not sure if you can understand the concept I am going to introduce, but let me try: do you realise that people can't be abused even after they turn 18 (or 16, or 15, or 21, or many other numbers)? The root problem is to understand when doing this medical intervention is helping vs when it is "abusive" (or maybe we could say "not helping" and not pretend that people who agree with their kid doing this and their doctors and whoever is involved are necessarily criminals). Age is not everything. It's actually a pretty shitty metric, but I guess you have to go with what you can comprehend.
