Thats an insane model of how trans medicine works pushed by fascists. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
And you get hormones no matter what, unless you take puberty blockers. The issue with trans kids is that their bodies make the wrong ones for them. They always regret it. Many kill themselves over it.
“Trans kids should have to overcome a bunch of hurdles to access necessary treatment” doesn’t sound that supportive to me.
Calling the natural variety of combinations of gender and sex “a mental disorder” doesn’t strike me as particularly supportive either. Do you consider homosexuality to be a mental disorder?
Historically, the gay community endured widespread social condemnation, often framed in the language of deviance, mental illness, and a threat to societal norms.
Homosexuality was classified as a psychiatric disorder by the American Psychiatric Association until 1973. This pathologization served as a justification for discrimination in employment, housing, and public life.
You have to be purposely blind to miss the parallels with the struggles and pains that trans people face today
Now you’re cool with gay people, but remember how up until quite recently, not even medical professionals accepted it? Because you’re on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to trans people, you just haven’t caught up.
