Like, prioritizing the 2% by banning transition does three things: 1. It establishes that being trans is an undesired outcome 2. It compels permanent deformity & trauma onto the 98% 3. It fails to acknowledge that most detransitions happen due to outside pressures and not internal desire
It’s tough and I feel like it’s so specific to each person that it should be left to that individual. My daughter is trans and I spent time working through my stuff, and it was my stuff to deal with, not hers.
Yes. Everybody's care plan is tailored to their needs. For kids, having some additional assessment and using blockers to allow more time to decide were already the compromise position to make cisgender society less nervous about it. Ideally, hormones should start where puberty would normally start.
Yep. That staged approach is wisdom.
Tell me if I’m off base. For me, a cis man, saying someone that is trans can’t proceed with their medical care is like telling a woman she can’t have an abortion. We shouldn’t dictate other people’s personal issues, we should support without people needing to make us feel ok with their choices.
