While I unequivocally support the basic human rights of transgender individuals, I believe there are certain aspects of the current discourse and approaches that should be critically examined:

1. Medical Transition for Minors:

While I understand the desire to support transgender youth, I caution against allowing medical transitioning before the age of 19. The brain is still developing during adolescence, and it is crucial to allow individuals ample time to explore their gender identity and make informed decisions about their bodies.

2. Potential Drawbacks of Transitioning:

It is important to acknowledge that medical transitioning can have both benefits and potential risks. While it can significantly improve the well-being of many transgender individuals, it can also involve irreversible changes and potential health complications. It is essential to ensure that individuals have access to comprehensive information and support before making any decisions.

3. Prioritizing Causes:

Transgender rights and support represent a significant cause, and it is essential to advocate for inclusivity and equality. At the same time, we must recognize the multitude of pressing societal challenges that also demand immediate attention and resources. These include, but are not limited to, addressing poverty, combating climate change, and ensuring access to healthcare for underserved communities.

    Why would I waste time explaining to you?

    Other people have commented informed reasoning and you’ve ignored their responses only to reply to my comment and ask me why?

    You’re clearly not actually interested in the why aspect.
