Transgender people are trans regardless of their medical transition. I agree with the "kids don't have to physically transition" of course. No one wants to let children transition, not even the community. Hormone blockers on the other hand, can be useful and (even tho i think they should really think it through and measure the consequences) they should be available. Bc if u end up being trans and u had hormone blockers it's easier to medically transition, and if u end up not being trans you just stop taking them and puberty will come naturally. But that's just my opinion.
No one wants kids to make permanent choices, of course, so i agree with you.
What i think is that, if they wanna try wearing different clothes, a different haircut, different name, just let them. And they will figure out if it was or not something temporary eventually.
Is not hard to love your kid in all stages of their life.
I actually did abit of research a while back and found that the first study on puberty blockers for gender dysphory was only in 2020. Before that it was used only for prostate cancer and to slow puberty if it was started at a crazy age like 5. There still has been no long term studies suggesting if you quit taking it after puberty age there would be no perminate effects but I doubt it because at the very least you would be shorter because when men are puberty age they naturally have high levels of growth hormone and that with testosterone makes them grow taller. Taking that testosterone from them will at the least cause them to be shorter when they come off and will effect bone growth.
That's why i said that they should really think it through and that it's a big decision to make. It can affect growth, but for some of them it might be worth trying. I won't choose for them, they have to choose themselves.
I agree with that. Although I am a bit in doubt if them dressing like the opposite sex would directly lead to them getting bullied, and you dont really have the means to deal with the bullies themself
Exactly what i mean.
They get bullied.
But hate is taught, no one is born with hate in their hearts.
They might fear what is different for a second but the moment they realize it's not something bad, they wouldn't mind it one bit.
What we have to do is normalize those situations. If they know it's not something bad, they won't bully them.
We just have to teach them to respect people, that's it.
Why is it like that
