Innate gender identity isn't a widespread belief among trans people- certainly not among trans people who have spent 5 minutes thinking about it. Insofar as "gender critical" means critical of that, it's not distinguishing bc most trans people share that criticism.

So, let me ask the questions in a straight forward way. 1) Can a person who is not trans become trans ? 2) Can a person who is trans become not trans ?
There are detransitioners who claim this is their experience & I see no reason to disbelieve them. It’s incredibly rare, of course, but I don’t accuse them of lying, just incorrectly generalizing their experience and drawing unfounded conclusions based on it.

Now, my turn: Do you think children should be forced against their will to maintain gender norms? For instance, forced to have hair long or short, forced to wear clothing they hate and avoid clothing they like?

No, I do not. But I also don’t believe changing your hairstyle, your wardrobe or the toys you play with changes anything other than your hair, clothes and toys.

By the way, (and for the benefit of others following this conversation) ... it’s not quite as “incredibly rare” as you might think ..
@DetransAdNet can probably give more detail. -
Ah yes, the famed anecdotal-evidence-trumps-every-study-ever-done mode of evidence gathering. But, we already established the level you’re operating on.
