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).

It's funny that it's middle aged men pushing that these drugs should be available so kids can pass better when they grow up but most of these kids are now female. The main side effect of these drugs is they stunt growth. For FTM trans height is the main tell. This is why they look like 12 year old boys with moustaches drawn on. For girls with gender dysphoria they actually make it much harder to pass. Can anyone name a single benefit of these drugs for female trans kids? Yet they are they main people being prescribed them.

I mean there is a theory that peados find these child-like women attractive, the drugs also stop your brain maturing and drop your IQ, so that could be a factor.

They also don't develop sexual maturity, so no orgasms. It seems creepy... like keeping kids sexually immature forever but constantly trying to make them live up to an expectation that they can't meet, so they'll always be looking for approval. Super weird.
