    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.

      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.
