While that may be true that hormone therapy isn’t the answer for all, it’s monumental for some for their gender dysphoria! I think people should have free access, if it’s a genuine need and the person genuinely wants it and it will help them in many ways I think they should have it

I think a lot of parents and people close to those who know them before and after transitioning learn that the person themself rarely changes, what I mean is they’re still them, the same personality the same person. Just usually more comfortable more confident and if anything more themselves. Gender isn’t their entire personality. But initial confusion is normal for many yes, especially those less experience and educated on lgbt

I’ve heard the “ugly sweater” analogy and I kinda like it. You’re still the same person under everything, you’re just taking off an ugly uncomfortable over bearing sweater that someone else made you wear. And you’re still yourself beneath the fabric you can just breathe better and move more freely

i’m not saying they gotta be nonchalant i’m saying they’ve had 10yrs to mentally prepare for me to medically transition and instead choose to turn a blind eye and hope it just goes away 💀

I just say this because I am not trusting of our for profit health care system. Often these kids are rushed without understanding any consequence or being evaluated for other instances of mental abnormalities. I want the best for trans kids and I fear we don’t have the best

If you were concerned about a for profit healthcare system then how do you explain trans people in countries with universal healthcare?

I’m confused what the point of your question is?

i think they’re saying that other countries that provide access to hrt and have universal healthcare programs generally see less negative statistics about trans teens (lower suicide/depression rates, lower rates of homelessness & unemployment, better physical health)
