I was just over 6 ft in the fifth grade

So they’re not having their period at the age of eight, which could lead to health problems

Who wants to do this?

Most public schools when my kids were going to school expected all kids to learn the same things at the same time. As for gender/ sex stuff:

I just think the age across the board should be 18 at least to ensure some sort of psychological readiness. It should probably be 25 or more actually.

What makes you think you know bettwr than researchers, healthcare providers and the patient being treated?

Okay, I read everything and it is too vauge to actually figure out, what the law says in practice in effect.
So could you find a more precise article about what is actually allowed and at what age?

That's not stating why you think you know better than the experts and the patient being treated. Go on, what makes you think you know better than those who spent many years researching and treating and evem living it?

How can anyone claim to know what it’s like to be a Man or a woman unless you are one.

The 1% of people that have regrets, not counting the ones not polled and the ones obtaining the meds illegally.

According to gendergp.com, 413 million people worldwide could potentially identify as transgender if it were safe to do so and if they met the Western definition.

1% of that is a lot of potential regret.

… and besides, I said it should be 18 and that’s what the law is anyway, so what you’re asking me doesn’t make any sense.

Do you understand how % works and did you compare it to those who would feel better.

Let us say out of 100 persons X% feel better and 1% feel regret. Now compare if not allowed to choose to come out. X% feel bad and 0% feel regret.
Can you give the actual numbers for us to compare?

You mentioned 25.

1% is incredibly low for a medical outcome. Routine knee surgeries are regretted at far higher rates, some have been found to generally have littld effect ajd benefit, but it goes on unscrutinized.
413 million, that's a lot of suffering because you want the age ti go as high as 25 and deny the benefits the vast majority will reciece because you focused on the small sample of negative outcomes and out it above the positive outcomes.

The law in some states says 18 because that’s the legal age of adulthood. It isn’t an evidenced-based decision, it’s a political one.

I did. I don’t pretend to know it all when it comes to this. Only time will tell…
