I'd love my child either way but having a trans 8 year old would be awesome

This is an interesting take. Awesome compared to what? More awesome than if they weren’t? Awesome because you prefer it?

As an immature frat dude I always wanted boys. Then my best friend had a girl first and I totally wanted girls. We happened to have boys and here we are.

[Ms Harmless]

awesome because they'd have that in common with me and I could give them all the love and acceptance I didn't get

[Bammer]

Ah gotcha, makes sense.

Finally some goddamn adults in the room. "Watchful waiting" + mental health services + education while a minor, option to transition when an adult, both love and protect until we truly understand the ramifications seems like such an obvious thing that it's mind-blowing the US is hell-bent on going the opposite direction.

If doctors can't encourage transitioning, we are NOT going to make our quota of trans kids.

Why would we think that the NHS would not listen to their own doctors and researchers?

thank god we're slowing the progress of meeting trans teens' needs!

“At this time, fearmongering aside, there is no reason to believe that puberty blockers are not a safe and effective treatment option for youth experiencing severe gender dysphoria. The only reason to fear kids’ using them stems from a fear of trans people themselves.”
