Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to “just get along” / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn’t work.
There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.
Children don’t consent to being brought into existence and yet we constantly do so. They can’t consent, as one reply pointed out, to medical care either.
Children can’t consent to being refused anything that they ask for either.
And even if the denial is on the basis of “their own good” they’ll grow to rightfully resent being denied things if it has a significant impact on them into adulthood and rightfully fucking hate their parents for it. Gender transitioning is one such thing.
Children are not ours to own and control and we owe them for dragging them into existence to critically think about their long term well being not just blindly applying some truism to every decision you make about their lives under your care.
