      my argument there is that no one under 18 should be using hormonal treatment to treat gender dysphoria.

      You do not deserve to stand between psychiatrists, endocrinologists and their patients. The medical community overwhelming disagrees with this assertion and you do not have the right, authority or education to make these sort of limitations.

      People will make up all kinds of mental gymnastics

      Science. We use scientific studies. Your gut reaction and feelings are not more valid than numerous peer reviewed studies.

        Amazing how transphobes never even try to address this. It’s almost as if they’re acting in bad faith

          Didn’t you know? Transphobes are far more well-versed in human sexual biology than anyone who studies it for a living.

          Degrees from Asshole University are more well-regarded than Harvard or Oxford.

          Are you also opposed to people under 18 undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, given the very permanent effects of such a thing? Or is dysphoria the only medical condition you think children should be made to just suffer from?

          I do not refute that gender affirming care does lead to better outcomes. I said that no one under 18 should be receiving hormonal treatment to treat gender dysphoria

          Please actually read the links. It very clearly leads to better outcomes for minors.

            It literally stops suicides. What people like this are essentially saying is that they are okay with children committing suicide for the sake of the children.
