And the evidence that detransitioning is a bad as all this is even more lacking. If detransitioning at 12 is bad... then forcing transkids to wait to transition has exactly the same bad effect. The anti-trans bias is so thick one needs a knife rather than a spoon.

Except that medical transition sterilises people and the Hippocratic oath is to first do no harm

Doctors do NOT swear by the Hippocratic oath as it requires that they NOT use a scalpel. Sterilizing people to treat illness is common, or even just because they don't want children. This is BS of the highest order.https://gizmodo.com/doctors-aren-t-actually-bound-by-the-hippocratic-oath-1465044222 …

The Hippocratic oath does not omit use of a scalpel.

It’s lack of a scientific way of telling in advance who the scalpel will help and who it will harm that is the problem

But we're not talking about pre-teens getting gender reassignment surgery. We're not even talking about anyone under 18 getting surgery. After that, if someone's gone through what experts have recommended - it's their choice.

At risk of "Dr Cheryl" tagging Twitter Support into the thread, in the US, under 18s DO get gender surgeries. Not a secret. And gender docs agitate for no minimum age for such surgeries. Jazz Jennings (age 17) is slated for "bottom surgery" this month.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO-RkaVMHnQ …

It's the Wild West in the US of A, with multiple surgeons operating on the genitals of minors. http://www.jsm.jsexmed.org/article/S1743-6095(17)30108-X/pdf …pic.twitter.com/eb2MzQ6HCd

Wow.
No, there's zero scientific data on your statement & its reckless.
I'm beginning to realize you're putting out flawed & biased propaganda.
Got news for you, a relative or friend can't provide a reliable rejection for a trans person’s awareness of their own identity1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
What are you even responding to? It's a study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine by Dan Karasic and Christine Milrod, not "flawed and biased propaganda." Try reading it.
