What if I think it's an inept thing to do but I'm neutral toward their existence?

Something absurd and stupid but not harmful to others... We all have some inept lubbies, I just think of being trans as just another one some people do...

Being trans is not a thing you do, it's a thing you are. It's no more of a choice than being white or having naturally blonde hair. I suggest you educate yourself on the subject.

Well, I know dysphoria is a serious thing but I don't think going trans is always the best course of action to deal with it(it probably is in some cases tho), anyhow that's just my two cents, as I said, I don't view those people with disdain...

What you're calling "going trans" is transitioning, which is something that not every trans person does, and involves a bunch of different things that not everyone does the same way. The thing is that transition is the *medically accepted* treatment for GD.

This becomes a harm issue when your argument involves restricting the ability of trans people to receive treatment for their condition, which includes denying trans minors access to puberty blockers. So yes, if that's your line of thinking, I have a problem with it.

You don't think anyone's ever been harmed by taking puberty blockers?

I think far more people have been immensely helped than harmed by taking puberty blockers, which is how we decide what medical procedures are worth doing.

Uh, there's a hell of a lot more than that that goes into deciding what medical procedures are worth doing. Even over something like cardiac bypass surgery, there's plenty of political back and forth. Medicine is not a hard science, and psychiatry is especially soft.

Medicine is not a hard science, but the people I'm going to block aren't the people doing science, they're people spewing hateful bullshit about puberty blockers being child abuse (while denying trans people's existence at the same time) under the cover of science.

Well, it kind of seems like child abuse to me too to let a flighty eleven-year-old decide what sex they're going to be, and to prescribe drugs that likely will damage their chance of ever reproducing. Have you actually validated any of the science here yourself?

Well, it kind of seems like child abuse to me forcing an eleven-year-old go through permanent irreversible changes to their body that will forever traumatize them, when that can be avoided. Have you actually met a trans person? Especially one who knew before puberty?
