When children are getting hormone treatment, without any real oversight, with lifetime consequences, a lot of people feel like they have to get involved yes. That's just the way some people are.
You might not like that, but I do.
And in case you don't believe the truly terrible effects of this, have a read in the detrans subreddit.
I have read the detrans subreddit. A lot of the accounts involve trauma in not being accepted in a non-cis identity. Others in not receiving enough support from either doctors or through therapy. There is varying oversight in receiving hormone treatment as well.
Trans groups are wide and varied. You will find plenty who believe in the weight of the decision and that it should be made accordingly.
This doesn’t excuse the huge amount of disrespect and hurt that gets thrown towards someone because they ask to be identified as a man or a woman. Just the other day someone burned a pride flag in Baltimore and ended up burning down three houses and sending four people to the hospital.
Surely in their mind somewhere, there was a thought that they were saving children from a “delusion”. But in this instance who has the delusion?
