Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If you're trans and you know it you ideally want to start medical care in your early teens by going onto puberty blockers. I think there's a legitimate discussion to have about delaying reassignment surgery until your early twenties due to how our minds and cognition develop[1]... but you absolutely want to stall puberty since it's forcing a decision on you.
Different people develop at different rates, I didn't come to the personal realization that I was pan until my mid twenties and, with sexual orientations, there's no cost to switching teams mid-way through life (outside of existing relationships)... when it comes to gender identity my impression is that people who catch it early and go on puberty blockers in time are able to feel much more comfortable in their bodies.
I have the specific disclaimer below but I would note that I'm not trans so if I've misspoken don't hesitate to correct me.
Basically they are homosexual kids? Why people call them trans kids then? I had understood people need to have been on hormones(or even get s surgery) to be trans, people call them trans kids nowadays?
No. Being Gay and being Trans are two different things. When I came out as a gay man, my sister asked me if I wanted to be a girl. I told her no. I'm perfectly happy with my birth gender. I am just attracted to other men. I never felt like I was in the wrong body.
Pretty clear, understood.
