No matter what choices your child makes or what happens to them, it’s damaging beyond belief to treat them as “ruined.”

They as a whole aren’t ruined, but parts of them may be damaged beyond repair. We do the teens of the future no favours by shying away from the fact medical transition is brutal & can never achieve their dream.

This is a thread I don't especially like, because it maintains the paradigm that this is medical treatment and "a choice." Medically and ethically, it should not be a "choice" for anyone -- like driving drunk: High risk, low benefit.

The fact that some people like it is not an argument in its favor, either. Some people like heroin and can't stop and "won't be happy any other way." It doesn't mean we say, "Here, go at it!" Even less does it mean we let _everyone_ go at it who thinks they want to shoot up.

Everyone’s story is different & some people can cope with things that other people cannot cope with. Each family has their own history & traumas which only they know intimately, so a blanket approach for everyone is not always useful.
