Ghost, this is something bothers me so freaking much. I imagine myself being forced through the wrong puberty against my will and how horrifying that would be. At that point, the damage is done. If I’m a trans girl, I have now lost the ability to “pass” without expensive surgeries and I will face a lifetime of harassment and possible violence. It seems so vital to these kids to allow them early intervention.

Denying people this chance when it matters the most is cruel.

Me too.

I thing I have to keep a gauge on is that I’m always angry about that exact thing, it has a homousian nature with things I’ve suffered: being pinned first by rhetoric, then by inaction;, watching the good choices be crossed out, until the person controlling you can performatively flap their hands and declare that, clearly, the thing they wanted…the thing they made the only option available…was always the only “reasonable” option.
