I agree with you on trans people but kids? I don't know. It's the same reasoning why we don't give kids right to vote
Edit: I fail to understand why this gets downvoted ...
Edit 2: I don't have time to respond to actual answers, I try later. But just a reminder: The only thing I said is, that I support trans people, just in case of kids I'm not sure. That is all. And I got -28 at the moment and people calling me moron
since nobody has given an explanation yet I'll try to, however I am horrible with getting my words out and someone else can give a way better explanation than me.
Most trans people will either have signs or know that they are trans before they are 18. I myself knew that something was off about me as early as 3rd grade, I saw a tomboy and told my parents I wanted to be a 'tomgirl'.
By the time puberty hits is when irreversible changes happen to the body. This is also when most trans people really get the "oh shit this ain't right" moment.
Imagine being trapped in a body that is doing its very best to rip your soul apart from you, then learning that there are medications that can stop it, but then learning that people who aren't even experiencing what you are have made the choice for you to not let you access them.
Now imagine that, for 5+ years.
It's torture.
What do you think of the kids that undergo hormone treatment and come to regret it later?
Just about any medical procedure will sometimes produce regrets in some portion of the population of people who undergo it, for instance vaccinations, amniocentesis, etc. It's not reasonable to suggest that because this is true that no one should have access to the treatments.
Right. Like getting fake breasts or cheek implants.
The difference between those and vaccinations is that they're superficial and aren't necessary to prolong our lives. They're optional, just like hormone treatment. They're also procedures we don't encourage or allow children to get on their own without a medical need, and rightfully so.
While some people will "regret" getting a kidney transplant, the alternative would've been death. I'm not going to argue whether or not they made the right choice, but the facts are there.
While some people will regret hormone treatment, the alternative is living with their normal healthy body like everyone else. They never "needed" the procedure in the first place.
What contact in your personal or professional life have you had with trans folk? Are you speaking with experience of appreciating their pain or are you just speaking based on what you've heard?
Why does any of that matter?
How can I explain color to a blind man? You're either attuned to the suffering around you or you're contributing to it. Apparently you can't see that. You must be blind.
Right. We're either with you or against you.
There is no in-between or outside.
Apparently blind and unaware of the deficit.
