inability to correctly perceive 3d objects is in fact far more dangerous when someone is driving a car next to you then when they're like, sending emails to you.

i agree that kids deserve and need more access to HRT earlier in life should they desire to transition but i really hate that the main argument in favor of it is "we need to have people transition earlier before PERMANENT IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE makes it so they can NEVER EVER look like their desired gender and they'll be FOREVER UGLY AND CLOCKY"

I think a lot about this kind of thing.

we need to take the time to have these conversations with very young people. we need to be willing to earnestly ask what they've observed that is leading them to ask the question, to get a better sense of where and how these valuations are being socially reproduced in their life.

when adults avoid teaching kids about systems of power (misogyny, racism, etc.) kids still absorb these social lessons, they just do so without the context they need to not internalize socially constructed hierarchies (i.e. sexgender, race) as natural facts about the world.

you cannot protect someone by denying them information about these topics. but you can give someone tools to navigate these systems thoughtfully by offering more context and helping them understand their observations of social interactions.
