I know this is controversial and I have adult friends that I believe are truly transgender and seem happy after transitioning, but man do I feel uncomfortable diagnosing prepubescent or adolescents as ‘transgender’. I think kids should absolutely be allowed to choose their identity and dress how they like and be called what they like. I’ve got a 2 year old boy and if when he’s five he wants to wear dresses and call himself Tina, I’m okay with that, no judgement, but at the point where there’s medical intervention is where I draw the line. Puberty and hormones are weird and unpredictable and you never know how someone will be when they’re 20 or 22 compared to where they are when they’re 12 or 9 or even 16.

If someone is a full grown adult and fully understands the consequences, they should be able to do what they like, but for children I don’t think adults should be pushing permanent life-changing medical treatments on them.

Edit: I'm just going to add another thing. As someone who thinks traditional gender roles are largely bullshit, I think it's unfortunate that kids who may prefer clothes or activities traditionally associated with the opposite gender are being pushed to believe that they actually are that gender. Why can't boys like to wear "girly" clothes and play with dolls without being told they're actually a girl inside? Why can't girls cut their hair short and play sports without being told they must really somehow literally be a boy?
