i actually wonder at how much of a troon believer he is because he delivered his take with such confidence he was smiling, and he looked surprised when sneako simply laughed at him
I think it likely that, like every other topic, he only knows the surface level and believed all of it at face value.
The common points are:
1 ) Children can't get the surgery until 18 (ignoring ftms who get their breasts removed as 14 year olds)
2 ) Puberty blockers just pause puberty, they don't stop it fully, they just give them time to decide
3 ) Hormones and blockers don't have any permanent effects and can be reversed at any time
4 ) Side effects of blockers and hormones are minimal and no big deal
5 ) Children are never coerced or peer pressured into transitioning and only do it for totally legit reasons like gender dysphoria that are never the consequences of early sexualization, sexual trauma, repressed homosexuality, social contagion, depression, compulsive disorders, autism, or fetishism.
6 ) Gender dysphoria is not at all similar to anorexia or body dysmorphia and thus the only option is transitioning instead of anti-psychotic medications and therapy or simply waiting it out
7 ) Early transition decreases suicide rates instead of nothing at best or increased rates at worst
8 ) Parents never encourage their children to troon out for social credit and attention and only support them out of love and empathy
9 ) There is a long and involved process of doctors referrals, therapists, differential diagnoses, and verifying things like depression are well managed, before medical transition can occur.
10 ) Children must socially transition for a period of time to verify its not a fad or a mistake before they can access puberty blockers or medication.
11) Informed consent clinics and online clinics that give approval for medication without these safeguards do not exist.
12 ) There are many safeguards in place to prevent faulty transition of children who were simply mistaken for some reason or another.
13 ) There is plenty of research showing that transitioning in childhood improves mental health and outcomes like passing and these result in better quality of life for the child in the long term
If he believed all of these were true, then his position would be far more likely to be acceptable. This is what's commonly parroted and critikal is a smoothbrain who believes what's the common narrative. Trans rights are human rights. Children deserve access to proper medical care.
His only mistake was believing it.
Too bad every single point I've outlined is a lie, many people these days know they're lies or at least are skeptical enough to prefer children wait until adulthood for ANY medical transition, and are sick of pretending otherwise.
