We can't change it because the TRAs managed to set the tone of public discourse before the average person really gave a thought to the possible consequences of "it's natural for a child to be trans because of their hobbies/preference in clothes". Everyone thinks this is the new progressive milestone and "we don't want to be on the wrong side of history". Once the shitloads of horrorstories of deeply disturbed adults who were transitioned as kids and young teens come pouring in, then maybe the public will wise up. It is so obviously abuse. But TRAs will definitely try to suppress that too.

Does the average person understand that this child's puberty will be halted and she will be sterilized? I don't think the general public knows that. They think this is about clothes and hair. They don't realize that medical things are being done to kids in middle and elementary school. If they knew, I can't believe they would support it.
