If these kids already feel they're "no gender," why do they need hormone treatment at all?

One appears to be taking the health of children seriously, the other seems to see it all as no big deal.

All part of the "gender journey." Who cares if you later regret your male-pattern balding, changed voice, and hairy body? You either "weren't really trans," or you'll probably re-transition later. Either way: Suck it up.

1 - Parents used to believe that their kids who "felt wrong about their bodies" , "or acted out their existential angst" had to get lobotomized. Lobotomy was popular as a "surgical correction" during the 1950s & 60s. Now the latest *Craze* is transgender surgery.

2 - The idea of Lobotomy and then the ensuing public awareness of it had caused it to be popular & a social contagion during the 1950s & 60s. Now the latest *Craze* is transgender surgery.

The difference is public medicine vs private medicine. The US docs can make big $$ from boutique "gender" medicine. Docs in UK don't profit from providing unnecessary treatment.
