It's a permanent and life altering change though so surely a process over a few years is absolutely necessary?

It's more the fact that you have to wait so long to be seen by any sort of professional at all, til then you're sort of forgotten about.

I still think it's right that the hoops are there and should be jumped through, but the really long waiting time could do with being cut. The danger is that people will buy hormones off the internet, when not only could they be absolutely anything but they'd have no idea what it's doing to their bodies without medical supervision.
Maybe some kind of early filtering process to identify the "trender" and enby types and shove them to the back of the queue to make room for people with genuine dysphoria. |

The complicated truth is that while transexuality obviously is a very real thing, it is NOT as simple as sexuality at all, and there are huge mental health implications for children and adolescents. I don't think this is an issue that JK Rowling handles well at all, however I also don't think she's ill-intentioned so much as ham-fisted, and now is falling into a trap of (ironically) feeling misunderstood being "egged on" by supporters. I also think it's a mis-step to ignore women's concerns when it comes to trans rights... even if you don't think the concerns are real. It is, again, musch more complicated than that. |

I do think that the process has to be quite a lengthy one as I know that it's not uncommon for people to regret transitioning when it's too late to be undone.
It's not easy for trans people who are sure of who they are to be faced with such a long wait but although, ideally, I'd shorten down the time it takes to transition, I think the process as a whole should take a few years with plenty of opportunities to back out if they decide that transitioning isn't for them. |
