Hi, if you don't mind me asking, why do you think children shouldn't transition? As a trans man who has known he was trans since age 5, if my parents had simply believed me and allowed me to get on blockers and socially transition then, I would be spared so much heartbreak and medical expenses now to transition. Are you just saying 5yos shouldn't be put on testosterone/estrogen until they're older, or are you insinuating trans children should be forced through the wrong puberty? Just curious.
I think that children shouldn’t be allowed to medically transition to any extent until they’re fully grown. I think that trying to physically resemble the sex they wish to transition to, and going by a new name and pronouns is fine, but they absolutely shouldn’t be allowed to permanently alter their body in such a major way until they can fully understand the consequences and they’re absolutely positive it’s for the best. Yes some people know since they’re young and are right about it, and I’m glad you were so sure transition was the best option for you, but realistically that’s not always the case. So many gender non conforming kids go through a phase of questioning their gender, and that sometimes goes on for years. The reality of the situation is that letting every tom boy questioning her gender go on puberty blockers because she takes on mostly male gender roles and think that equates to actually being male, (when it’s not the case,)will only do more harm than good, and screw up the kids who shouldn’t have actually transitioned. There are so so many adults who transition, only to later regret going through with it, so why should young children be trusted to make that kind of decision and never ever rethink it later in life?
How the fuck do you know anything at age 5? I call bullshit
