Perhaps. This is not a new issue, but the fake 'gender-critical' controversy certainly is.
What's "fake" about it? Do you not think people have genuine concerns?
Tumblr faddery aside, treatment of adolescents has been going on for 50+ yrs, is now sensationalized.
1/ Widespread use of blockers, & esp. cross-sex hormones for minors IS new, as is huge jump in cases.
I think the guidance suggests support and of course there can be no legal transition in many lands before 16/18
16-18 is very young to permanently alter your body.
Indeed- I think in England limit for legal transition is 18, but it is 16 in some countries
Yet that UK doctor is prescribing testosterone via Skype to under 16s.
Well medical and indeed social is a bit different to LEGAL change-
Cross sex hormones under 16 is vs. UK standard practice; & results in irreversible changes.
