i see your point and it is a valid concern. i would counter that by saying the attempted suicied rate of trans people is over 40% and children cannot have any irreversable procedures done until they are at the age of consent. puberty blockers only delay puberty until that child is of the age of consent, then gender affirming care can begin...whether it is hormone replacement therapy or just a change of appearance or nether. there is no one-size-fits-all to what it takes to feel authentic and congruent in ones own skin 💜

Thank you for the perspective. In my experience, there is a statistic to support most narratives, so they don't mean a lot to me. What is the age of consent? Growing up and getting comfortable in ones skin can take a life time. Some never figure it out. I feel that there is a push of confusion around gender with young people that is dangerous. I have met kids wanting to change gender because of an actor they like. Adults should do whatever they want for sure. But some people never grow up. So I don't know. I pretty ignorant on it all. Just my personal observation and intuition. Which often is useless. It's all interesting to watch unfold.
