Comment on Ohio is poised to become 2nd state to restrict transgender health care for adults

Everyone wants in on the action because it’s a cash cow. Most of this is paid for out of pocket.
I do not think it is overbearing to make sure the right specialists are involved.
Kids are different. We need to let them go through puberty first since most outgrow this in puberty. I haven’t seen any recent research but it use to be in the high 80-90% outgrow it.
If an adult has talked to the proper people and they agree on treatment, let them go at it. I am all for body autonomy. I am pro-choice for the same reason. An adult should be free to do what they want with their body with the proper experts assisting.

Wtf. This is the most wrong and incredibly harmful thing you could propose. Going through the wrong puberty is exactly what causes so much distress in trans people. You people talk about not wanting kids to have irreversible things done, but then suggest they go through the puberty that will make it virtually impossible to pass as their identified gender? How absolutely fucking cruel

You want me to disprove your made up numbers? That’s not how proof or evidence or citations work

It’s reported in every academic citation. I can cite my source. You’re the first person to ever claim it’s a false number. So let’s see your cite.
