    You don’t know what I know.

    And if kids can’t consent, how is forcing them to go through permanent changes by not providing blockers acceptable.

    You would seem to be arguing for doling out blockers to all children until they can understand and consent to the changes of puberty.

    A bold proposition, but I’d hear you out.

      Alright, I deserved that, I worded that poorly.

      Kids can’t consent to puberty blockers.

        So how are they able to consent to not having them?

        You seem to be making a value judgment that views transness as something inherently to be avoided and if so you’re not worth engaging as you’re arguing backwards from the position “trans is bad”.

        Since we know that’s not true your position can be discarded.
