On this, I agree with TRAs. Those children were never trans. So why were they giving access to cross sex hormones, puberty blockers, and surgery?
These days I err towards the side that says nobody is really "trans", while the actual mental disorder of gender dysphoria has been shown to exist, it's the way it's been turned into a social category in order to normalise it that's all bullshit. Sure, people can dress in whatever clothes they like, change their names etc., but cutting off body parts and introducing unnatural amounts of the opposite sex's hormones isn't the answer IMO. The comparison has been made before, but would it be a good idea to give an anorexia patient weight loss surgery and tell them their desire to be skeletally thin is valid and it's society that's wrong for not accepting them?
So I find the "as long as they're legal adults" argument kind of weak. It's not like the moment someone turns 18, or whatever the legal age is where they live, that they're suddenly mature and responsible enough to truly know the risks of such pointless and honestly dangerous medical procedures. It's not the same as getting a piercing or tattoo - piercings can be taken out, even tattoos can be lasered off, but a stinkditch can't be turned back into a dick, a deepened voice from taking testosterone won't ever go back to how it used to be. Even the supposedly "based" ones who trooned as adults and oppose doing it to kids will make the exact same statements as the TRAs they claim to be against - "my true self" and so on.
I think it was Helen Joyce who said "transition" shouldn't even be an option for these people, and I'm inclined to agree. By all means, defy the stereotypes of your biological sex, be a man in a dress or a butch woman with a shaved head, but don't turn yourself into a crude mockery of the opposite one (or some bullshit you invented), and don't force people to accept you when they might not believe in your claimed identity.
Despite only making up 14% of the tranny population, why are 99% of non-binary folx middle class white women in their teens or mid 20's?
I've met only one biological male claiming to be "non binary", which in his case seems to simply mean dyeing his hair neon colours and wearing makeup and jewellery, using they/them pronouns and changing his name from an unmistakably masculine one to a name that could go either way but still reads more male. As an example, imagine his original name was John but he now calls himself Sam. I thought he was very flamboyantly gay at first but nope, he likes girls, he's just autistic and indoctrinated into far-left ideology from his university studies. Pretty sure he was studying something in the humanities so no real surprises there.
