From the original Op post i do fully support the trans community and believe people should have the freedom to be whatever gender or sexuality they are without prejudice. However I do believe there should be pyschological safeguards in place for any trans person wanting to undergo physical change by surgery or medication as these processes are irreversible. I know a lot of young people who have wanted to transition , only to discover later on that this was not their actual issue. I also have a family member who was clinical pyschologist who has had many patients wanting to detransition after starting transition, so there does need to be safeguarding in place.

They shouldn't transition until they're 18 and even then they might still be unsure it's what they really want , and i agree about the safeguarding being in place. People these days rush too much into these decisions. When it's not just going to the salon for a new hair do ..... this is a life altering procedure that's irreversible like you say.

Of course young people want to change gender. All their celebrity stars on the television are constantly telling them how great and brave transgender people are and how the LGBT community should be celebrated. What young impressionable kid wouldn't want to be part of that good stuff? And they have their idols blessings.

It's called grooming.

In the 1910s young impressionable kids were told is was great and brave to go and fight for your country in war. So they jumped on board, most of them to their deaths.

People can’t just pop into a hospital, demand gender reassignment surgery and they get it asap, that’s just not a thing, people already have to see therapists and consult doctors before being given the go ahead for it, it’s not as easy and instant as the anti-trans movement have made it seem it is, it shows the level of ignorance and general lack of understanding people have about trans people and what they go through
