I can't bring myself to be supportive of parents who insist that they have trans children and actually put chemicals in their bodies.
Last week, I saw an article that a mother wrote about how her fifteen year-old trans son was going through menopause. Just, let that sink in for a moment. Most trans activists and self-proclaimed allies keep beating this drum that none of the medication that their demanding be available for a child exhibiting signs of gender dysphoria cause irreversible changes. Menopause is irreversible.
Just to put my personal experience in some perspective, my longest term relationship started when we were both over the age of twenty-five. Our OkCupid profiles both said that we didn't want to have kids. We both repeated over the course of years that we didn't want to have kids. We made jokes about "birthers." I seriously considered getting a vasectomy because that would be a lot easier than her keeping up with her birth control all the time. When we finally broke up, she said that she wasn't sure that she didn't want kids.
If people in their thirties can't be relied upon to be certain that they want to alter their bodies in a way that would make them sterile, how can we support, condone, celebrate kids who can't drive a car or drink alcohol getting sterilized?
If my ex-girlfriend and I, at the age of fifteen, asked to have our tubes tied and our testicles snipped because we were sure that we didn't have kids and our parents and doctors went ahead and did it, would any of you defend it?
What are your arguments for starting these treatments at such a young age? People have said that trans people will have more difficulty presenting as their preferred gender. Blaire White throws that argument out the window just by looking at her. You're also running into the problem that most children who exhibit signs of gender dysphoria don't continue to show those signs into adulthood.
This is one of the few issues wherein we're allowing our minds to open to the point of our brains spilling out where we're saying that we're, "Letting kids make their decisions." James Younger was seven when he hit national news and his mother had been raising him as a girl since he was three. His mother was looking into putting him on puberty blockers as early as possible. "We're letting our kids make decisions." "Okay, your kid who believes that a giant rabbit leaves eggs lying around and breaks into your house to give him or her chocolate once a year is equipped to make these decisions?"
The James Younger story is particularly horrifying both because of reported behavior of the mother and the reporting by platforms like Vox which has basically called any questioning of how James is being treated, "transphobic." The mother's the good guy even though she told James that monsters only eat boys. Reportedly James got dirty playing outside in the mud and took off his shirt; when his mom went to give him a new shirt, he said, "Boys don't have to wear shirts." Vox reported it that James had been referring himself as a girl on his own despite a viral video of James saying that his mom told him that he was a girl.
Don't forget, assistant HHS secretary Rachel L. Levine wouldn't even outright condemn the castration and mutilation of children's genitals.
I don't deny that there are trans people who transitioned early who are happy and don't regret the decision that their parents made. But, it's a crap shoot in terms of outcomes. Beyond all else, no, this is never the child's decision to make alterations to their bodies.
