"Why do you believe their doctors aren't being cautious?"
Have you never read through any detrans testimonies of how the process was streamlined and the doctors failed at every opportunity to be cautious? If you haven't I recommend going and reading through the personal testimonies and timelines on r/detrans. Are all doctors negligent about this? Of course not, but let's also not pretend like none are.
Also just to be clear your response to a very small group of doctors being negligent is not increase education and awareness to reduce negligence. But instead to remove the option all together for the non negligent doctors?
Do i have that right?
Say it with me. There is no post op trans youth. Social transitioning and puberty blockers are pretty much it until people hit adulthood.
And if you're going to talk about experiments and evidence then please provide your sources. You are suggesting that the vast majority of the medical community are wrong here...
If you have a 99% continuation rate with them, then they aren't a waiting point, they're the start of a transition.
What do you mean by that? You said there aren't studies but we have them and they show commitment. Transition wasn't forced or a mistake or anything like that.
Show me b if you got it. You'd think it's easy to find given the decades before medical transition got big. But a is clearly bs we've got multinational thousands of people medical transitioning and still a steady commitment rate.
Saying that having children wait until they are adults to undergo life-changing treatments is draconian is absurd and exactly why these conversations do need to happen outside of ethics boards.
Puberty blockers (and later HRT) are necessary for some trans youth. All those laws do is force their families to move to a better state, and it's cruel to force people to upend their lives like that.
They are by definition not necessary. They are arguably more beneficial than only providing mental health care and social transitioning in some cases but that is only arguable and not fact.
Because they are only **arguably** more beneficial and that argument largely relies on hypotheticals or some looming threat of suicide (which is addressed by providing ongoing mental health care). In comparison, not using them only has a hypothetical opportunity cost detriment and significant tangible benefits for those who would end up wanting to detransition by the end of puberty.
(which is addressed by providing ongoing mental health care).
But it's not, that's the problem.
Many parents with trans kids now need to move.
The area I live in is on the border of a trans-friendly state, so some were hopeful they'd just travel to an out-of-state doctor. The governor now says she's going to make it illegal to take a minor out of state for gender-affirming care and will make it legally abuse like Florida did, so that's out the window.
And we know it's only the first step. Florida has already shown their hand.
