Many trans children and young people feel lonely and isolated due to a lack of support, understanding, and acceptance. Denying them agency has the potential to compound this and can put them at high risk of mental illness and emotional distress, potentially affecting their long-term future.
What kind of arse backwards statement is this?
What is a trans child? A minor with gender dysphoria, that's what. Unless you think children can be transvestites and cross dressers?
They are basically saying you need to accept that a child hates their body, and must change it. Does it never, ever occur to these people to ask what the bloody hell gender dysphoria is trying to solve??
The stats will, one hopes, speak for themselves.
Children with past trauma, or CSA or are autistic will be counted.
Are they truly saying you should just accept children who want to change their body because of these reasons?
They are breathtakingly hung up on the idea that a transgender identity is not a solution for these children to something else. In that case, what is the bloody evidence, let's have it? Where is it?
Come on children's charities, follow the government guidelines and give us the evidence for a transgender identity in children.
