You and I both know that it is not about what people wear, as I've said in this thread already, wear whatever you like.
The problem is with giving useless medication that is actually harmful and feeding into delusions such as men can be women and vice-versa, if they feel that way. I know you and others think that doing that is NICE and BEING KIND but it actually is the opposite of these things, fundamentally, it is lying..and lying is not good.
What should be opted for instead, is teaching gender-confused kids to be comfortable in their bodies and perhaps even that gender non-conformity is actually absolutely fine. Allowing them on a route to meds that does nothing positive for them except maybe some temporary feelings of comfort in their "gender" or whatever, is not worth the physical and mental harm they cause. And as that study I shared shows and how detransitioners who have learned the hard way tell us, most kids grow out of these confused feelings just as we all grew out of the bollocks that was puberty..
