If trans children were allowed to access HRT they would not need to be on blockers. This is forced onto them by cis people.

Not necessarily always the case. Some people might want more time to understand and explore their identity before their body is irreversibly changed.
Most of the time however it is because we must cater to cis people refusing to accept that we know our own bodies. And we half these half cocked compromises so their sensibilities aren’t hurt.

Ok but also puberty happens well before the brain is even mostly formed properly. I’m kinda ok with giving kids time to make life altering decisions. Imo puberty blockers should be given to anyone even questioning their gender that wants them, so they have time to explore and choose before they have the ‘wrong’ puberty.
Most children have established gender dysphoria by 7 years. We don’t need to wait until we have a “mostly properly formed brain” to understand ourselves on one of the most basic levels.

Yeah I don’t disagree with the broader point but I think what you write might be erasing some people’s experiences a bit. That’s all I’m saying.
But if you allow children to get on HRT when they want, the ones what want it could and the ones that want to wait still could.
By allowing choices instead of removing them because cis people are worried we don’t know what we want, despite study after study showing basically no one regrets it you help everyone.

We’re sick of pandering to you. These are our lives and you’re fucking them up.
