I think the pushback is due to a twofold issue of social media politicizing it with brave new world style mnemonic nonsense and of the basic expansion of "gender affirming care" beyond what it used to be where after years of vetting and psychiatric visits you could get on hormones or get surgeries as an adult after you sifted out the homosexuals in denial and fetishists leaving only a small minority of extremely determined transitioners whatever that implies. It did mean the people knew what they were getting into. You can some detransitioners slip through back then but they often were doing it young and going through Thailand when they weren't getting approved here.

That's now changed and they're doing a number of things that is naturally going to enrage the general population.

1. Bathrooms. Someone who has gone through all the operations and everything isn't going to be a big issue here. The problem is we just let people go with where they identify now. Clearly some rapist is going to identify as a girl so they can access the girls room to rape people. Is this person trans? Does that mean all trans people are rapists? Of course not. But you've gone thrown your lot in with the rapists by being stupid and creating this easy loophole that will be taken advantage of.

2. Doing shit behind parents backs. Turns out parents don't like that. Also turns out that pedophiles love it since it can give them a way to groom and deflect all suspicion. Doesn't mean everyone doing it is a pedophile but again, wait and you'll eventually see "teacher than encouraged student to transition caught fucking student" bound to happen eventually. Will blow up in their face. As there is no excuse to hide this from the parents. None.

If you want to claim it's dangerous for the child, then fucking remove them from the parents of course. If the child fears for their own safety from the parents then the child shouldn't be with them eh? But you let the kid go home with them anyway except with "our little secret that you are actually a boy" um that's retarded. We both know you can't actually claim the child is in actual danger and that argument is bullshit. Because you'd not send the kid home to the dangerous parent if you were even the very least bit convinced of abuse, you are a fucking mandatory reporter. Your whole career would be fucked if something happened, don't give me that bullshit. Plus if the kid is socially out in class that means it's not a secret, the other kids know, they'll tell their parents, and their parents will tell the parents of the kid so they'll find out anyway. Fucking duh. If I was a kid in class I'd just tell the parents directly. Have you thought this out at all?

Finally people "demanding you respect them" bitch please. Didn't you ever learn that those teachers that went around screaming at the students to respect them were the ones that were the least respected and had the worst nicknames imaginable and were subjected to the worst pranks? Respect is earned not given. And you've got to respect yourself before anyone else does. You won't even care if someone calls you a name or "misgenders" you if you are confident with yourself. Like who gives a fuck?

No they've gone with stupid shit for years and it's going to basically blow back in their face eventually. This "movement" was always basically doomed to fail. Eventually the crazy people who have been encouraged are going to turn on their handlers Frankenstein style. Literally. I can't imagine how many doctors are going to get sued into oblivion in 20 years.
