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 …

Jazz has been on cross-sex hormones since age 12 .This has been stated by Jazz and family openly on the reality show "I am Jazz." Jazz was rendered permanently sterile while still in middle school.

And whether Jazz ever wants to have children is immaterial. You don't sterilize children. The decision to reproduce (or not) is one reserved to adults. 12-year-olds aren't capable of making that decision. This used to be uncontroversial--only a few years ago.

I have an idea. Why don't to arrange an interview with Jazz, her family & some of her physicians? You're not getting what GID or GD is. You're not understanding the research, the experience or trained to know. I get it. You feel your loved turned your kid around. Let others be.

Cheryl, have tried repeatedly to respond to your questions in good faith. It hasn't worked. You make assumptions and assertions that are incorrect. Muting you now. Good luck.
