[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not dangerous to identify as trans and then later identify as cis.

It is dangerous to identify as trans, not have family support, and do stuff like attempt suicide or run away from home.[/quote]

There's no need to use clinical terminology. Just refer to normal.

As for no danger in identifying as trans -- are you KIDDING me? Have you seen the danger people who identify as trans are subjected to?[/quote]

People can use clinical terminology if they want to. Clearly it didn't affect your comprehension.

I would rather support a trans child and have them de-transition later, than not support a trans child and have them kill themself.

While trans people are certainly at risk, some of that risk can be mitigated by family approval. The folks who are most at risk are those who despite family condemnation, continue to identify as trans but don't have a safe place to come home to, financial stability, or other supports a family can provide.[/quote]
