In situations like this, they definitely do know.
lol, no they aren't.
Again, grossly underestimating these kids.
Counseling is one step of the process.
lol, of course, so many false truths you're stretching yourself thin
In terms of who you want to be, sure, but there are some certainties you know. If a male child identified as a boy, played with boy toys and wore boy clothes you'd say that's normal, he knows who he is, but because these kids know who they are and it isn't what their genitals say they are, you're making the argument that they don't know or understand themselves because they're kids. Like the rest of the right, you're being a total hypocrite.
Again, so many mistruths you can't keep yourself straight.
The same tired rhetoric that ignores the true issues and focuses on making the process out to be sheer barbarism when the opposite is far more truthful.
Yes, when you've stuck them into the "firmly don't care what you do" side but left them to suffer through the years they need it the most. Now they're trapped in a body that isn't right, forced to start from less than zero to try and make it right, and constantly have those who "don't care what they do" screaming at them for looking like a man in a dress when, had they had they had the intervention at the right time, would not have been the case. But hey, it's just their lives, we don't need to help them with that. Just placate them for 18 years and, if they make it to 18, stop giving a damn.
So being trans is like being a drug addict? Wow...
Not to the extent you're suggesting, no.
It does, it shapes your world view very much so.
So you say...
No, ensuring their future is ruined, more like.
Again, no.
Wrong, and again built around a total misunderstanding of what trans is.
Indeed.
lol
...the only one who keeps coming back to it is you, so...yeah?
lol
