I would like their to be more support than one clinic for trans kids and good healthcare you seem to want a country in which there is no affirmative health care I still don't understand why.

I appreciate that but they didn't with me, granted I attended their Leeds clinic for years when I was 14 and then Sandyford in Scotland when I went to Uni and you won't find hate from me if it wasn't what you really wanted but saying trans kids don't exist is wrong, I was one.

The Sandyford was my clinic, too. I completely accept that there are kids who suffer from gender dysphoria, and they absolutely deserve care and therapy, but I take issue with the term "trans kid" because it implies that kids are fit to begin transition.

I understand you weren't really one and it took time to figure it out but I was one and because of that it's hard to explain but gay and trans youths do exist and we know from a young age I don't really appreciate people like Stephanie hypothesizing my existence away.

To imply we didn't exist / don't exist to try and take away all trans kids/Young adult affirmation or treatment, it terrifies me because I can say with absolute certainty I would not be here now If it weren't for the help I received.

I understand. You feel the way you do because of what you've experienced, just as I feel the way I do because of what I've experienced. I used to believe, with certainty, that I wouldn't survive without transition. I was wrong, and so I want to help prevent making more like me.

By figuratively taking away my transition and all the other trans kids like me by instituting no transition for anyone? I can get behind better counseling to as you put it prevent more like you but not abandoning treatment. I can't understand how that can be justified.

I'd never suggest abandoning treatment, I thought I made it clear that dysphoric kids need therapy and care. I just don't think that care should involve affirmation without question, and certainly no medical intervention to prevent natural, healthy puberty.
