MODERATORS
I'm not a fan of giving it to children, but adults should be able to do what they want with their bodies as long as they are not hurting anyone else.
Hi, you can believe what you want to believe, but I wish I pursued care when I was younger (began questioning at the onset of puberty) rather than transitioning at 25.
The most commonly used model is puberty blockers with parental consent up until 16 and then HRT only with parental consent at 16.
Forcing a child to undergo a puberty that they do not want, is cruel!
Children do not choose to transition because they think it's cool to do so. They still get bullied for it. At least set them up to have a more stable adulthood.
Why not?
Children are too easily manipulated, and I don't trust people to avoid coercing children that it's better to be trans.
Do you think children are more susceptible than adults? At what age are they less?
Absolutely.
It depends on the individual, but the general trend is that people become less susceptible to coercion as they become older and gain more life experience.
By that logic, are there any other things you'd be against allowing children to do or experience?
Yes.
Could you give a couple of examples?
No, but you can ask specifically.
This is such a stupid line of thinking. Trans people aren't Nazi's, they don't indoctrinate the youth.
Sorry, I've seen too much evidence to the contrary.
There are scumbags across all walks off life, and you'll start to realize this as you get older.
