    “I dont agree with you your argument must be bad faith” is one hell of a bad faith argument.

    So you consider the side effects an acceptable risk?

      Doctors that are specialized in that field should know that better than you or me, no?

      But I’ll humor you anyway. You know what also has side effects? Going through puberty. And those side effects are permanent. If your puberty changes you in ways that don’t align with your gender identity, those side effects include higher risk of dying by suicide, as one example. So yeah, that seems like a risk that I, with my unqualified opinion, would be willing to take in order to make sure my child and their doctors have enough time to figure out who they are and what they need.

      And you think you know more than the kid’s doctor to predecide for millions of kids in your country?

      It’s not our risk to accept. It’s between the person and their doctor.
