The problem with banning transition is that it's basically the same as cosmetic surgery and the line is blurry. In my opinion, it's claiming the mental illness which is the problem. Although I wouldn't mind an anti-surgery movement, showing how much of a freak show that is anyway.

Well... if you're a woman or a man with abnormally low estrogen or t levels and you need hormones, great. But if there's nothing wrong with you and you're asking to shoot yourself up with the hormones of the opposite sex, I'd say "no".

The emotional roller coaster people go through when they realize they've permanently damaged their bodies or been left sterile is avoidable. Just don't allow them to do this in the first place. Twenty years ago, kids just experimented with hair and clothes and gait and that was it. They grew out of it, or settled into their personalities eventually. But they walked away from their teens and twenties with their junk intact, and still able to father children or give birth at the end of the day.

And they could still pee normally, and had nerve endings that worked. These body parts are crazy delicate and interconnected, and messing with them is risky. I mean.... we have had butch lesbians, swishy gay guys, and girly straight dudes / tough straight women for generations. You're telling me everyone is now automatically trans? No.
