realizing I could technically say “yeah my mother wanted a girl so she dressed me like a little girl” to explain my childhood photos and it would technically be correct and win me much more sympathy than just saying I’m trans
“you’re right it IS weird to force children to live as a gender they know they are not”
Yeah, but if you’re too young to consent to sex, you’re too young to consent to permanently altering your body, and disabling your entire reproductive system permanently.
You do realise that (if I understand it correctly) most transitioning in childhood is 100% reversible? Puberty blockers just delay stuff and (if I understand it correctly) the rest can only be a social transition.
Delaying essential teenage development causes a lot of other knock-on effects. Secondary sex characteristics aren’t the only things that develop during puberty, which get blocked by puberty blockers. There’s a chance of recovery, I guess, long-term, but going through puberty at 21 instead of at 10 means developmental stunting is inevitable.
yeah but letting your kid go on hormone blockers lessens their dysphoria and keeps them from killing themselves. which is far more important. in my opinion.
