[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Democrats want to live the pain of their child wanting to transition or experiment with gender switching, have at it. It's not all happy and glory if you go all in on what your child want, trust me, I know. There is a lot of hate thrown back at the parents because "you should have known this when I was really little and I lost valuable time". Any question you ask,  even if you think it's a supportive question is often met with hostility. Consider the angst of adolescence magnified by 10.[/quote]

I’m sorry, but how is this political? Are you saying that making it illegal for trans kids to be trans kids will save parents from the hard work of having to parent?[/quote]

The religious right has made it political.  They want to decide what other people's children can do or not do.  They want to ban transgender girls from wearing skirts or dresses and being called by a feminine name and using she/her pronouns and for trans boys to have a hair cut (ie: social transition).

There are roughly 75,000,000 kids in the US.  According to statistics I found, there have been 4700 children on blockers in the US in the last FIVE YEARS.  4700/15,000,000 =  .00006% of kids are on blockers in the last five years.  There have been 15,000 kids on HRT in the US in the last FIVE YEARS (I would assume some of the 4700 previously on blockers eventually made it into this number).  15000/75000000 = .0002% of children in the US.  These numbers are so vanishingly small yet Republicans have decided that THIS is the new social issue to get people fired up over to replace abortion for the religious right.

Can you imagine having so little to run on that you have to try to ban 1,000 kids a year in the entire country from getting on blockers?  This is your issue?  Then making a law that bans social transition as well as medical transition?  They're just cruel.  Being transgender is already hard enough.  There are more conservative adults talking about trans kids than the total number of trans kids on blockers.  [/quote]
