Wouldn't youth HRT treatment result in better outcomes much more indistinguishable from these cherry-picked examples of transgender individuals?

No form of transgenderism is a good outcome. They are all bad. If you want good outcomes then teach these kids to just accept the cards nature dealt them, stop wasting money on drugs and plastic surgery, and focus on things that actually matter in life.

Couldn't we find agreement that the costs should not be publicly funded? Aren't you just subjectively interpreting other people's choices? Isn't the freedom to consume whatever drugs and medicine one so pleases in the privacy of one's own home just the cornerstone of liberalism?

I only commented on best outcome, not restricting freedoms.

But if you want me to talk about what should be legally allowed? I'm pretty liberal. If a grown adult who understands the risks wants to go ham on trannydom then sure, go for it. Feel free to look and act as ridiculous as you want as long as you aren't imposing on others.

Kids aren't ready for it though, even if the parent is okay with it. Same reason as a society we legally don't let kids gamble, smoke cigarettes, etc., regardless of what the parents think. And if you need evidence that it's not something a child is ready for, then the umpteen thousands of depressed and ruined people in the detrans community are a good start.
