many teens at that age are new to politics & often have their opinions shaped by what their parents believe. not necessarily appealing but what they were taught to believe as kids. they may or may not grow out of those beliefs as they get older.

14 year olds aren't really known for their nuanced takes, they're still learning and forming their own beliefs and opinions. right now, they're just parroting a take that they probably heard from an authority figure, online account they think is cool, etc.

I feel like black and white thinking is very appealing to young people, nuance is something that takes time for a lot of people to wrap their heads around. tbh the only reason I wasn't like this at that age is because I happened to watch a lot of progressive trans youtubers so I just parroted how they explained things

im sure its comforting for young trans kids to believe that theyre not just transgender because of vibes, they have a “genuine medical condition” that validates their identity
