People are really now arguing that all children must be put on puberty blocking hormones, period. Anyone who disagrees must be uninformed.

I'm trans, and this shit pisses me off. Putting children on hormone blockers is abuse! It stunts their growth, and ironically makes them incapable of "aquir[ing] that ability" because hormones are a huge factor in whether or not someone is trans.

And naturally, hormone therapy and sexual reassignment surgery are both no-gos for children too, especially the latter, which I believe should be banned until age twenty-five (since it's permanent and life-changing).

I think you're the minority of the minority, and other trans people would probably call you names for that (perfectly reasonable) view.

Definitely. I've been called a Nazi for being pro-life... the irony is lost on them.

Interesting. I'm pro choice politically because I don't think the government should be allowed to force women to deal with a medical condition (pregnancy) on their terms. Same as how im pretty gc/radfem but I'd never support a ban on gender affirming care of any kind for adults.
