Afaik not only. Delaying is one thing, Giving other hormones is second thing.
Delaying things, totally can see to let everyone delay freely.
To replace, personally wish I could trust my kids after long talks. But can also see, most kids have nuffin than 67 memes and minecraft in their head, lot’s may want as true phase or because some idol told em to.
Even adult eggs have the rule, that none should push egg crack, but the egg must do this on its own. We do not say to person in questioning that they are this or that side. These shells on younglings gonna be extra vulnerable to media or influance… tiktok challenges “tell parents You wanna change gender and record from hidden cam”. What now?
even if some people make stupid decisions more would be allowed to make good ones. if you change the amount of lettuce in sandwiches for a large enough number of people, some of them will suffer lasting harm or death because of it. worrying that a few might be harmed when so many would genuinely benefit is fine, but holding off on the benefit because of that is just bigotry.
Oh totally agree… education to 10-12yo kids about possibilities. Full ahead! My life would be way better too, yet, I’ve learned things while around 30yo ;_;
I DO NOT call to ban HRT for young persons. Every transfolk, adult or kid should be able to be self!
I just worry if some could hurt self on a whim, while not being a trans - adult person can get responsibility on own action, but underages have some of that responsibility taken from them. I’m talking about some friendly verification, if a child saying of being trans, truly are? Are they - drop the HRT very next day!
At the same time, no, I don’t have an idea how that verification would look, hope some friendly specialists are smarter than me, and they may make decisions. Also, if they, smarter than me, make a law to let everyone easily get hrt, I wont oppose that.

So when would you trust them? It’s ridiculous to claim that we should ban it because of TikTok or whatever.
My life could have been much different, better, if I had known about options and had any positive trans representation when I was younger.
