Ahh yes. Then you'll whine to the doctor because it turns out you're 15 and just having teenage hormones make you hate your body but nooooo you were right.

Fucking idiots. Work on your actual issues first. So many of these people just end up being autistic or gay and pushing for things like this rather than giving them a safe environment to work out their feelings and support them rather than push for jumping straight to medical care.

A hell of a lot of the girls have been abused as kids and that is not being investigated because trans is used for a cover for their strange behaviour.

You don't even need to go that far.

There's a girl in there who they called trans and recommended treatment. The reason? She liked Thomas the tank engine and hated periods. Yeah turns out she was just gay and bullied. Especially when you note the line in there that when the bullying stopped so did the dysphoria.

Therapy is needed because you can be very sure about things when you're sick. Suicidal people want to kill themselves, should we complain that doctors want to give them therapy/medication rather than just handing them a knife and telling them to go for it? Just because you're sure about it doesn't mean you're right, you'll just do something you might regret.
