Transgenders make up about one half of 1% of the American population, yet Liberals, Conservatives, church and media groups argue and fight over this as if it's a life or death issue - It's not! Maybe it's time to start focusing on repairing our infrastructure, paying down our national debt, beating this virus, and educating our kids.
Transgender population in the US
Because people are giving children the drugs to start transgendering. Instead of waiting till their 18 to decide.
Thank you for that brilliant research paper on the proper use of hormone blockers in teens with gender dysophoria. You are clearly a wor;d class expert and must have advanced degrees from top universitieds in the fields of biology, pediatrics, and human sexuality. Please tell us more
You don't need to be an expert to know you shouldn't let a child make an adult decision. I hope when these kids grow up and change their mind, and realized they screwed up. I hope they sue the democrat party out of existence. You cannot reverse what you loons are doing to children. Let them be kids, they can make that decision when they turn 18.
Your ignorance of the topic is written all over you. No one is doing anything to children that irreversable.

The risk of lasting damage goes both ways.
Like abortion, the longer you wait if you are going to proceed anyway, the worse the risks of damages. But if the decision is made too soon and later regretted, it's permanent.
If Liberals are open to abortion and transition decisions for minors, then counseling should be unrestricted and not censored or punished.
Too many risks involved so the decisions cannot be manipulated by incomplete or wrongful information.
Bathroom signs are temporary, but hormones are forever. That seems to be the implication of a new paper called “Growing Pains: Problems with Puberty Suppression in Treating Gender Dysphoria,” publi…

The hormone treatments can cause lasting effects and harm if the decision is regretted later and the impulses were a passing phase not the permanent identity.
We cannot be in the business of "experimenting on kids" who don't have fully informed consent while research is still ongoing. We are taking risks either way, so it is better to go through full counseling and research to make sure there is no irreversal damage that could have been prevented. It is always possible for people to counsel first, and be fully at peace with themselves, before making any decision to alter their natural bodies.
Otherwise, if people especially minors do not fully consent to the whole process, the risks and consequences, this can become abusive "experimentation" or worse, abusing others to push political agenda and statements due to bias against opposing groups that have nothing to do with the person's true identity or nature. We do not need to risk or experiment with children's lives, health and well being, like a custody fight between two competing parties. The best interests of children should be protected, not political positions favoring one side or the other.
