The affirmation-only position seems to wholly discount the needs and best interests of the young ROGD females in particular.

Only a small number of people whose self-interest doesn't allow for equal concern for vulnerable young women, I suppose.

Nobody is forcing me back into trousers.

I'm wearing trousers today. Pretty sure I haven't transitioned and I didn't need to ask permission or anything.
