Comment on Why does it seem most people, mainly conservatives, against Trans people? Unless I am wrong I never heard of one shooting up a school church or whatever. The ones I have met have been pretty cool.

No, HRT still is. You’d be surprised, but that’s noone’s business but a human being and their doctor. It’s quite personal, but suffice to say it’s no different than any other medical intervention that allows a person to have a better quality of life by influencing the already existing systems of hormones and neurotransmitters for the given conditionss/issues/wellbeing.

What’s more, in the event that the human being making the choice with their doctor to use hormone blockers changes their mind, puberty resumes AND compensates such that the overall outcome is near-entirely unchanged compared to if had they not used blockers. (And are much less likely to self-harm or take their own life overall)

The misinformation about trans kids and puberty is honestly audacious, such that anyone who **actually cares about our safety, well being and happiness** would recognize such if they so much as scratch at the surface of current medical knowledge.

That’s like saying an epileptic person should go without life-saving seizure suppression medication

Google false equivalency. 1.2% of people experience epilepsy. 100% of people experience puberty. Epilepsy requires intervention BECAUSE it isn’t normal. So my argument still tracks.

Also, just because someone doesn’t like an experience doesn’t necessarily mean that it should not occur. People don’t like getting their wisdom teeth removed but it’s a process that must take place. And this is especially true with life changing decisions like HRT. Putting a decision so monumental into the hands of an individual still trying to figure out what career path they would like to take is borderline insane.

Also, I’m going to need some sources on the effects of HRT being easily reversed after treatment stops, because there is a point at which this procedure becomes somewhat permanent. Take for example the case of Chloe Cole who I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of.
