Also you have to be 18 to get tattoos or to consent to a variety of things and a kid who maybe doesn’t really understand what it means to be trans can end up totally screwed later in life, I think hormone blockers, binding, going by a different name/pronouns, and just changing appearance is fine for minors
Puberty blockers are ok, there was a girl in my school who went on testosterone in middle school and now has to live with a low voice and a stubble because of the negligence of her parents and doctors. Many kids do not know the difference of being a tomboy for example vs being transgender. I could maybe support hormones for minors with extreme cases of gender dysphoria but it really shouldn’t be so easy
I think puberty blockers are a minimum. Ordinarily I as a cis person would be fine with just that as an option, but my trans friends have expressed to me that they think they should have been allowed to get on hormones as young teens. Thats because being on puberty blockers can make someone feel socially outcast. They wish they had been able to go through the puberty they wanted alongside their peers.
That’s way to big of a decision for a minor to make😭 that’s absolutely ridiculous. If a twelve year old decides they want a giant skibidi toilet tattoo on their neck is that “their decision to make”?? And tattoos can even be removed hormone replacement is not always reversible. And yes people do advocate for surgery underage especially top surgery.
I regret getting baptized, I regret making the friends I did who ended up being racist and trying to make me okay with it. We intervene medically all of the time for minors Why do you think kids are just walking in with a slight dislike of how they look and coming out with surgeries, that’s not the process.
Ok so getting baptized means absolutely nothing if you don’t believe in the religion and the thing with your friends was just a learning experience for you. Kids do not always understand gender dysphoria unless they actually have it. Kids may think they are trans because they don’t fit the stereotypes of their assigned gender. I have friends who transitioned as a kid and it worked out for them and I have friends who grew to realize they were never even transgender. We intervene medically for m-
