"On the other hand, puberty itself is irreversible in the same way, which means these gender transition treatments are the most effective the earlier they are given. It follows, then, that puberty blockers and hormone therapy can be incredibly positive for transgender kids who don’t go on to regret their transition later in life. "
By this logic, we should allow confused gender-dysphoric kids to have their breasts removed because this might be "incredibly positive". They won't regret it until later, and they can have the breasts removed at 13, and this might be incredibly positive.
The abject, undeniable, clear stupidity of this position should be obvious to even the dumbest person. Children of 13 should not be allowed to do whatever they want. They are not adults. They have ideas uninformed by facts, consequences, or a fully formed brain.
We need policies that are good in the LONG RUN. These policies may disappoint confused, deluded children, but they will be best in the long run.
Here are sensible policies:
1) Don't encourage children with delusions. Do not allow children to pretend that they are the other gender, unless they are clear in the notion of pretence. Bearded ladies are funny on Halloween, but not on Nov 1
2) Do not interrupt natural processes. Puberty is what happens between childhood and adulthood. It's the price we pay to become adults.
3) Hormones which are for the other sex should ONLY be used for actual problems. Gender dysphoria is not a problem. It's a delusion.
4) If a child becomes confused with gender dysphoria, that child needs more chores and responsibilities.
One of the main reasons why children get gender dysphoria and remain in the dysphoric delusion is that parents affirm and condone this delusion. That is a key act - PARENTS SHOULD NOT AFFIRM, CONDONE, NOR TOLERATE THE GENDER DYSPHORIA.
