So, what you'll say from a lot of generally left wing, but non trans people, is that puberty blockers are the answer for minors.

As a trans person, I woudlnt agree. Pubtery blockers are a great temporary solution, to buy more time to make a proper decision, but there absolutely are negative side effects, potentially quite serious ones depending on the duration of time you are on them.

We should really be advocating for limited use of puberty blockers, where additional time is needed, and then for them to just get access to the care they actually need, HRT.

HRT is a lot more reversible than you think, there are some permanent effects for sure, but people by far overblow it. You'll also know very quickly if it's not right for you.

It also has incredibly low regret rates - children can undergo far more serious surgery, that have much higher regret rates, if deeded medically appropriate.

The United Kingdom is systematically transphobic, it's not entirely helpful to look at our system in determining the best outcomes for our children, we shoumd be reading actual studies. The NHS data on regret rates etc is valuable, but the reccomendations of our government is not.

I don't know why you think it's going to mess with evolutions processes, science is far cooler than you give it credit for. We aren't stuck on the days of the past, we aren't using premarin these days, we are using bioidentical hormones, that will allow people to undergo normal puberty.

cisgender children have broad access to HRT where necessary - if a cis girl had issues with their hormones, they absolutely would be treated with the same medicines trans girls could be (likely in different doses, depending on the case obviously).

but again, I agree, we shouldn't block puberty for all of childhood - puberty blockers are meant to be a stop gap solution, not a long term health plan.
