This is really wonderful news!!! I really hope more countries start taking a similar approach. I worry the USA might be one of the last because of how money driven everything is here.

Even if some kids grow up to be transsexual, most will grow out of it and become comfortable with their natural bodies. It is so much better than surgery and a lifetime of hormones. If someone still has to transition to be okay after puberty, they will be able to make that decision. Transitioning has so many downsides, I just can’t understand why so many seem to want to push it on kids.

Also, it's so much better for people who decide to undergo medical transition to do so only after they've gone through full sexual and brain development during and after puberty of adolescence. It breaks my heart that kids put on "puberty blockers" followed by cross-sex Big Pharma hormones like Jazz Jennings not only have been rendered sterile, but they've been left without the capacity have adult libido, adult sexual pleasure and orgasm - and their overall cognitive abilities appear to have been permanently impaired as well.

I am not usually a "conspiracy theorist," but I've come to conclude that some very creepy, sinister people are behind the campaign to push transition on kids. Of course, not everyone who supports transition of kids and minor teens is doing so for nefarious reasons. Some people involved in this are naive, superficially well-meaning "useful idiots." But the big impetus is coming from some real creeps and lunatics.

Pot, meet kettle? I mean it's not like every terf on twitter simps for JK Rowling more than her actual fans do. Remind me, was she the one who wrote about goblin bankers with big noses? Or slaves that like to be slaves? Or was she the one who joined the radfem movement in the UK and immediately got cozy with neo-conservative christian fundamentalists under the guise of 'women's rights'. I'm sure worshiping the ground a literal billionaire walks on is a truly feminist act.

And I mean it's not like it's just her, the entire movement in the UK has been subsumed by women who spew their GC buzzwords regardless of whether they actually believe it or not and they'll have a horde of men and women at their beck and call to defend them. I mean Kathleen Stock and Alisson Bailey are both enamoured with Kemi Badenoch, who voted against abortion clinic protections and abstained from voting on gay marriage. And her husband is a political christian fundamentalist. I WONDER IF SHE REALLY CARES ABOUT WOMENS RIGHTS! (she doesn't)

As for sounding like a conspiracy theorist: Yes. You are one. You've got literally no proof besides 'it's just how i feel', you have a theory, and it's about a conspiracy. You are a conspiracy theorist.

I find it ironic that you're saying that while using the misogynistic manosphere meme "simp". Let me guess, you also happily use "bitch" as well?

I'm sure worshiping the ground a literal billionaire walks on is a truly feminist act.

As opposed to worshipping male billionaires who transition and now get treated as poor women who've been oppressed and traumatised by a lifetime misogyny, and also examples of female excellence and achievement?

Women being rich and using their influence to further women's rights is in no way contrary to feminism. Trying to get women to be happy with men's scraps because boo capitalism and "really it's all about class anyways" is a nice trick, but doesn't really work in radfem spaces.

Also, liberal and especially trans spaces are filled to the brim with misogyny. After all, statements about brainsex, or straight up gender stereotypes as well as denial of patriarchal influences are normal in these spaces, and frequently you'll have male MRAs or "egalitarians" get gender-validated because they rub their dicks to sissification anime porn.
