    Your argument fails to take into account that any person seeking to change their gender will not get any gender afferming treatment from medical professionsals, without a lot of therapy, phycological, and medical assessment. These kids don’t just go up to their parents and say “I want boobs” or “I want a penis” and mom calls up the family doc to schedule the appointment.

    Your whole argument hinges of this conservative boogeyman thinking that any kid can just walk up to their lib parents and magic up a full gender reassignment surgery. And your example of girl asking her parents for bigger boobs would probably be denied by any reputable cosmetic surgeon.

    Let’s be real: that type of total transition medical care is astronomically expensive and heavily gated by the professional medical community/industry. So how 'bout we leave those decisions to these kids, their families, and the qualified medical professionals?

      No, I don’t think that. Thank you for putting those words in my argument for me. But you’re wrong.

      How 'bout you don’t be so condescending
