       when cis people fearmonger about puberty blockers for trans kids, remember that puberty blockers are the compromise.the non-compromise position is that trans kids should be able to go through the right puberty, from roughly the same age as cis kids.

       we've been playing the "but are you really really sure?" game with trans kids via puberty blockers because that was a compromise that at least allowed them to not have to go through the wrong puberty. but clearly, with the backlash against blockers, making sure trans kids are really really super sure was never the intent. the intent was to make sure that trans kids don't get to transition. so we might as well just skip right to letting them transition, at the age that allows them to have an experience akin to their cis peers.

       @YKantRachelRead :neobot: sometimes, it feels like the point is to make trans kids go through the wrong puberty first, and the arguments are all just benign-sounding rhetoric to achieve that.why? to exert control over them? to punish them for wanting something "wrong"? to get them to abandon their true self and fall in line? by any intererpretation, it's plain cruel.

       @squeakable @YKantRachelRead so that then they can make more arguments about not letting trans women to compete in chess because of unfair advantage testosterone based puberty gave them or something
