If you’re happy for trans youth to essentially be told that they’re just confused or mentally ill, then I don’t really know what to say to you, but I don’t want to see you say at any point you care about protecting children in these instances because that’s simply not true

How can you say that when there's members of the LGBT community themselves who think it's WRONG for children to be given puberty blockers and called trans ?. I know what you're saying about the right wing having their agenda. But surely there's a middle ground here.
Well you might not like it , but technically gender dysphoria is a mental condition which gets diagnosed by a doctor
. And i wasn't saying all trans people regret their decision, some have transitioned/lived as the opposite gender from age 16 and they're still happy or content .
And it's not very nice to assume i don't care. I don't know why things like mental illness and conditions in general is still stigmatised. I believe transgender is a very real thing . There's been studies and research, to show how for e.g a boy who has gender dysphoria has similar brain patterns to a female.
But the point i'm making is there's different ways to help and support a child who is experiencing this . I don't think the answer should automatically be "yes ok then now you can be the opposite gender" . When you're under 18 you're still a minor and your parents still pretty much tells you what you can and can't do , your voice and feelings should still be listened to though.
Hasn't there even been cases where teachers will go against parents wishes ? just to please a child? .
