I literally got fired for being trans. And couldn’t get another job in the same state. You have absolutely no concept of how we are treated. Get off anti trans message boards and talk to some trans people. See how life actually is.

homosexuals are more oppressed throughout the world than trans people are

This is not in any way true. At worst we are on the same level. In America and the UK gay people are far more accepted.

Again, the only study I know of reflect most children with dysphoria indicators didn’t transition. Young children. Not teens.

Teenagers are going through intense physical and psychological growth. It is a time marked by becoming an individual, and is ripe with identity issues. It's common sense that teens go through 'phases' of identity, conforming to different subcultures and peer groups in an effort to both individualize themselves and become part of a group. This is very apparent when you look at how trans identity surges through friend groups like a social contagion, and by the massive uptick in ROGD in teenage girls, who as a rule tend to hate themselves and their bodies. Further, teenagers are also known not to have firm grasp of the long term consequences of their actions. What seems like a great idea at 15 is very apparently a horrible idea at 17, forget decades down the line. Teenagers are known to make bad decisions and to change their minds, but these decisions don't have to cost them for life.

Knowing this, doesn't it make sense not to allow minors to make permanent changes to their bodies, affecting lifelong health and fertility? Use your brain. You don't need a study to understand this. Teenagers are also minors, and as a society we must protect them.

First I believe I bodily autonomy. Second ROGD isn’t a thing. That study ( was a joke that had no basis for its conclusion.

ROGD isnt a thing? So what about the countless accounts of it? Thanks again for not trying at all to reconcile any of your views with the potential detrimental effects on minors. The way you ignore these points always really proves your ideas /s, how you never want to acknowledge anything difficult really shows us that there's nothing to worry about in those topics /s.

Always a fun time chatting. Wish you had anything of substance to say, either as a point or in response. I'll keep dreaming.

Yeah. It’s not a thing. The study that made it up too accounts from parents in anti trans spaces instead of actually talking to trans people and marketed it into a scaremongering tactic. It’s not a thing, it’s propaganda masquerading (thinly) as science.
