A lot of GC folks will say "Proceed with extreme caution for minors / need more research," like Abigail Shrier and Lisa Littman aren't hardcore "abs no transing of children," but well see "Caution and research." Like if we went back to the olden days where maybe 1 in 10k people were being medically transed (I think that was a number I heard somewhere) I don't think GC would care that much.

Like you're right they don't see perfectly eye to eye - but the disagreements, esp in the context of TRAs, can often amount to at most a subject change where we end up talking about Biden's VP pick or how great ponies are.

Yeah, I support research into it and extreme caution. I remember arguing with some transmeds on the old sub who made use of a lot of pseudo-science and acted like we can definitely tell who is trans even with young children so we should start them on blockers very early. I'm definitely very much against that but there are obviously gradations in both positions. I just think there is definitely enough differences between GC and TM to have some pretty lively discussions.
