I am not curious, nor am I afraid. I am a medical doctor, so I tend to look at things through the lens of what is scientifically true. Feelings are great, but one should not make life altering decisions on them alone. The truth is, we don't know the long term effects these "treatments" will have on children. It should be concerning to you and others that European countries who have been doing this for many more years than we have, are pulling back.
I do feel deeply sorry for folks who are so unhappy with themselves that they would take manufactured chemicals and have surgery to try and alter who they are. And there are plenty of detransitioners out there who are suing those that hurried them down the road of "gender affirming" care. Young women who have had their breasts removed, well ok, they can have implants, but they will never breast feed their own child.
Again, I am not concerned for full grown adults who are capable of weighing the pros and cons and making an informed choice. I am deeply concerned for teenagers who are allowed to make life altering decisions, that are in fact not reversible, and that they do not fully understand.
It is not just the children, though. This ideology is destroying families. If you haven't, you should check out the PITT Substack. It is heartbreaking.
