That would set a dangerous precedent. The unbanning just shows they realised they were letting the mask slip. I've read multiple studies have shown trans pre-teens lose their gender dysphoria during puberty (you know that stage of life focused almost exclusively on solidifying identity). The numbers are obscene and telling, up to 95% deciding on their birth gender. The trans community responded to this by trying to suppress the research as transphobia, and pushing puberty blockers under the hypothesis that puberty forces children to decide against their assumed gender. Shutting down another avenue for those questioning their trans-identity would be another barbaric move to push people into a life of surgically induced misery.

If you haven't ordered a copy I recommend Irreversible Damage on this topic. It is a medical experiment being carried out on children, for profit.

What's crazy to me is they KNEW about these figures in the 1980s. The DSM-3 from 1980 says that only a tiny handful of kids go on to be trans in adulthood, and it even actually says that there is no connection between childhood transness and adult transness , and that adult trans people are basically telling porkies when they say that they 'always' knew they were trans as kids. There is no trans kid to trans adult pipeline and they knew this in 1980!

This is the thing. Some teens will go on to solidify into a trans identity and that is more than OK with me. But others are just exploring. They all need time before radical bodily changes are on the agenda.
