I'm transgender and I agree that children don't have the capacity to properly analyze their gender: they likely don't entirely understand the concept of gender at that point in time. They are incapable of making a rational decision, so any "consent" they give is void. Instead, it's just the parents either forcing their will upon the child or neglecting them.

It's not until puberty that one can determine their gender identity, because at that point sex-related hormones begin to be produced, which can have a large impact upon gendered traits. I wasn't self-aware of my transgenderism until I was thirteen, and I still haven't medically transitioned in any way (18 at the time of writing).

Hormone blockers shouldn't be allowed (unless they're necessary for some other reason) because not only do they stunt a child's development, they prevents them from even knowing if they're transgender (it's normal for children to question their gender before puberty, because they don't entirely know what gender is).

Also: hormone replacement therapy shouldn't be allowed for transitional purposes until at least 18 (though dosage restrictions should be in place until 25), and surgeries shouldn't be allowed until around 21 or 25. Perhaps top surgery could be allowed at 21 and bottom surgery at 25, since the latter has much more impact.

Both sides should be against this. Many transgender people (including myself, as I explained) are against this, but the left continually promotes child abuse in the name of "diversity" and "equality", even though what they're doing only helps left-wing lunatics at the expense of children. It even hurts the transgender community, because it misrepresents what it truly means to be transgender. (Which the left does constantly.)

TLDR: I'm trans and even I'm against this. No hormone blockers, no hormones before 18, and no SRS until 21.
