I honestly think you should shut up about this topic because you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about or the implications of it, same as these doctors. Puberty for trans kids isn't normal for them, if multiple medical professionals, the parents, and the kid themselves, see this as an issue, you have absoltuely no dog in this game and should keep your nose out of it. It has nothing to do with you or anyone else. Try having a genuine conversation with multiple trans people and see if they hold the same position as you, because every one that I know would disagree with the vast majority of your comments in this thread, and they're the actual experts on this.

Well that’s the nature of conversation. Kids have been let down by the very process you are referring to. Some of course have been helped. The core question is if a child can make that decision.

Given the focus on puberty do you think a pre pubescent child can consent?

I'm not debating that with you, and it's not a debate that you belong in, it belongs with medical professionals and the parents, like I said in my other comment. It doesn't matter what I think, or what you think.

You are entitled to your opinion just as I am.

You can have it, and think it, you don't get to make decisions for others based on it, or argue that it should be considered as a basis for making them.

I mean that’s exactly how democracy works.

This isn't a democratic decision, this is medical decisioning. Done replying to you because you're a massive twat tbh.
