      In one word I would say: transphobia.

      For more info, I’ve edited the post’s description to include some relevant links.

      Because being unique is scary and goes against conformism.

      In the UK specifically, there are studies showing limited effectiveness (I don’t know how they define that) of puberty blockers, vs. transitioning later in life. So there’s this fear “what if a child changed themself as part of a fad”. Which is probably transphobic, but at least it’s nuanced a little bit.

        They make some absurd definition probably.

        Doubt this doornail will look the children he’s murdering in the eye.

        This is the same as banning chemo drugs if chemo was safer, less invasive, and needed by less people.
