How inadvertently cruel these adults are being by lying to these "trans" kids and affirming them every step of the way. Like if I were actually trans I would want the positives and negatives of my decision to transition medically to be clearly laid out without the propaganda that is currently being spread.
I am a young lesbian in my late teens and when I was 15 I used to toy around with the idea of transitioning because I saw some Buzzfeed videos that would show transition timelines that went from a unhappy woman to a happy trans guy. I saw trans youtubers and only the positive sides. All this nonsense is being propagated in public schools too, we had posters about trans people and we would watch videos about them in class. I remember us watching a video of a cis-girl supporting a transgirl going to the bathroom, there was no room for discussion about male people in female spaces otherwise you are automatically a bigot.
Add on the fact that butch lesbians have dissappeared from the mainstream media, so my young femme self really thought for a minute there that I could date a pre-everything trans guy and become straight and valid 😭 I really thought dating a transguy would be the perfect solution cuz I would never have to "come out" to my very religious homophobic family.
I feel like for me learning about the cotton ceiling and shit messed up a bit from the ages of 14-16 cuz I thought there was something wrong with me for not being attracted to transwomen. But honestly, that is NOTHING compared to the criminal behavior that is being done to all these young kids claiming trans. Its seriously nuts, how tf can a 12 year old decide whether or not they want to have children when they grow up. Also we have no clue what the side effects of these hormones are gonna be on these kids decades into the future. And to top it all off parents dont need to consent to their minor kids transition where I live.
All of this is such a mess.
