Concept is simple As of today there are many concepts or things that society decided that arent good for kids and they are 18/21 age restricted. And now: is the topic of transgender people important and appropiate for them? I'd say no. Transgender people are very, very tiny population and the topic itself is milion times overblown by media.

As someone currently going through this, you have to talk to a lot of people about it before you can do anything regarding being trans. The only way its fucked up my life is now there are a lot of people who hate me for some reason, apart from that I've been happier now that I'm able to live the way I prefer. As are all my trans friends. Do you mean that only a tiny percentage of the world should transition, or that a tiny percentage of those with gender dysphoria should transition?

  Not always the case, see e.g. https://lacroicsz.substack.com/p/by-any-other-name https://lacroicsz.substack.com/p/by-any-other-name She was prescribed testosterone at her first appointment with Planned Parenthood. There was basically no gatekeeping.

You're right, it is a simple concept. Avoid talking about any and all things you deem uncomfortable and strange. Reject the identity and existence of millions of people until it's "appropriate". Maybe we should ship all transgender people to a reservation so that children don't interact with them until it's age appropriate? It's so simple!

  Honestly sometimes I wish they could ship us all off to somewhere else so we don't have to deal with transphobes anymore. Just somewhere remote with good internet where we can all live in peace
