Ok kids being socially brainwashed into transitioning is a thing and we should stop it, but also I am pretty wary of people saying *all* childhood transitions should be unequivocally stopped. There's absolutely some people out there for whom it's actually the right choice!

If it were a medical anomaly, of course, but that is not the case. blocking hormone therapies have life lasting consequences. I would want to see more data before I would feel it was a medical issue versus a societal one.

I think this is true, but also *not* taking hormone therapy can have life lasting consequences. It's a really hard gamble, you have to predict what the future you will want.

Depends on the goal… if it is medically necessary, then that is one thing… how often it is a fetish versus a medial condition? You have to weigh the consequences. I’m not against it, just worried that the unintended is to risky!

The life lasting consequences in that cade are called normal development though.

Not taking hormones was the standard for some million of years. I know naturalistic arguments may be silly, but idc.
