Transgender "acceptance". Giving hormones to tweens for the sake of a rounding error of the population will be looked down by history in the same light as burning witches to save their souls.
>Giving hormones to tweens for the sake of a rounding error of the population
There are any number of medical disorders that affect only "a rounding error of the population". Medically-assisted transition with hormone treatment for gender dysphoria is the treatment option best supported by the evidence, although the quality of evidence is currently less than ideal.
If you have found peer-reviewed research indicating that hormone treatment for GD does more harm than good, I'd be eager to see it.
> It’s also pretty insulting to throw the word tweens in there, implying that transgender issues are just a tween phase.
They didn't imply that at all, the problem is that we are performing life changing cosmetic surgery on people not mature enough to consent. The other issue is that it doesn't really treat the disorder, it transforms the body to match the mind, all other psychiatry tries to get the mind to adapt to it's environment, it's a failure of psychiatry.

But bonus point for assuming everyone is Anglo white on here.
