Which is why I don't think LaBelle gets how taking/suppressing hormones in pre-pubescent children works.
I think there's some kind of propaganda coming out of the trans community that causes people to think this sort of treatment is okay. It also doesn't help that kids can be put on meds at a very young age for other reasons. For example, I've been on medication for ADHD since the first or second grade. In my case the diagnosis was correct and I'm still on medication to this day. However, I believe there are a lot of parents who are rightly wary of medicating their children at such a young age, and LaBelle even seems like one of those people. She would probably say that medicating a child for ADHD is stunting their growth as a person by medically altering their behavior and perception of reality to conform to society's standard, whether or not they actually have the disorder, yet would also condemn parents who refuse medical transition for their children because it prevents them from being "their true selves."
