If someone wants to "do nothing" about their gender then of course "doing nothing" is the right course of action The vast majority of all people today are in fact "doing nothing" and no one is objecting to that

If someone WANTS to transition and you put up resistance, you're not "doing nothing" Framing this response as "doing nothing" is fundamentally transphobic

What if that someone is 7 years old? I assume you agree with age of consent laws in other contexts.

Does a seven year old generally have the right to pick out their own clothes and be addressed by the name and pronouns they prefer when they're the "correct" ones?

This is why TERFs are fundamentally dishonest, they try to keep the horror of puberty blockers and "cross-sex hormones" in the front of your mind when talking about little kids undergoing no medical interventions at all (there's no puberty to block)

The only thing "affirmative care" means for a kid that age is respecting what they want to be called and how they want to be treated socially, which ought to be a general principle for how ALL children should ALWAYS be treated

You made a mistake here. It's not about clothing. It's about medical intervention.

Jesse Thorn was very clear in his viral thread that his daughter has undergone no "medical intervention" at the age of nine whatsoever but the TERFs still dogpiled him calling him a "groomer" and "child abuser"

of course they did
. They also seem to think they know his daughter better than he and his wife do.
My son&I are discussing creating a video series with some guidance for parents with kids who have come out. I am admittedly worried about the backlash - TERFS are unrelenting.1 reply 0 retweets 6 likes -

They tell trans people to simply reject gender norms but if a kid does they act like their parents are torturing them.
