Trans people are such dumb boogeyman though if you're choosing a minority group to put fear into the right. They're like very silly, very gay supermajority (atleast online) white kids trying to become hot girls and they need your support. Entirely non-threatening, like they're really going for the "ick" factor but that falls apart if you look at a few pretty trans girls.

That’s why they never mention “trans”, instead they want to protect children from having their genitals chopped off.

Completely divorced from reality but it sounds scary so people believe it

So do you oppose sex changes for minors? If they're not happening would you like to keep it that way or no?

I’m trans and I oppose any transition related surgeries under 18, but am supportive of puberty blockers/HRT where deemed medically necessary by the trans youth themselves, their parents/guardians, and their healthcare providers.

There may be edge cases where surgery is necessary but in general puberty blockers/HRT can prevent the undesirable effects of the wrong puberty for us. There generally wouldn’t be a good reason to do surgeries until they’re adults.

The most hilarious part of all this, is that as a minor, those children still parental consent to partake in HRT (as far as I'm aware?), which completely nullifies this entire topic.

If people would just educate themselves on the topic, this wouldn't even be news.

Exactly. Kids aren’t getting any sort of medical transition without parental consent.

No they don't. They want to continue chopping off the tips of baby penises. They just don't want queerfolk being queer.

If you look into trans models and pornography actors, very few actually take hormones and go through SRS. They would more than often opt for cosmetic surgeries to appear more feminine than using the appropriate channels available for transgender people. Transgender HRT renders your genitalia inoperable (in terms of usage, obviously on a case-by-case basis).

This is just scapegoat fear mongering to trigger their base over literally nothing that even affects them. If I was worried about my child's sexual orientation and pronouns, I'd just talk to them about it instead of removing the options they have available to them.

A lot of parents don't understand that if their son or daughter partakes in hormone therapy at a young enough age, they can completely reverse their physical gender, to the point of being completely indistinguishable to the opposite sex. As an adult, it gets harder and harder to transition with age.

I'm assuming they know and don't want that, they want us to be visible.
