    That doesn’t put me in the minority. I did a simple search, and the first result was a poll from 2023 stating that most adults are against it.

    From what I’m reading, many health professionals can’t come to an agreement on it.

    Regardless, you do you. I’m allowed to state an opinion. If you take that as “someone trying to tell you what to do,” that’s more of a “you” problem than a “me” problem.

      Oh, so you aren’t concerned with the perspective of people whose entire job is to figure out what’s medically best for kids, you actually just want to know what a bunch of 6th-grade-reading-level Americans think?

      Why?

        You stated I was in the minority, which wasn’t true, and frankly, just because a few organizations believe it’s acceptable doesn’t speak for the entire medical community. Again, many medical professionals don’t agree. Are those medical professionals also the “6th-grade-reading-level Americans” you speak of?

          And if the majority wanted you to jump off a cliff?

          No, the only people whose opinions matter on this topic are the medical experts. Disagreeing with them puts you in the minority of Americans who refuse to trust doctors.

          just because a few organizations believe it’s acceptable doesn’t speak for the entire medical community.

          Correction: not just a few, literally all reputable medical organizations, including but not limited to:

          American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

          American Academy of Dermatology

          American Academy of Pediatrics

          American Academy of Physician Assistants

          American Medical Association

          American Nurses Association

          American Association of Clinical Endocrinology

          American College Health Association

          American College of Nurse-Midwives

          American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists

          American College of Physicians

          American Counseling Association

          American Heart Association

          American Medical Student Association

          American Psychiatric Association

          American Psychological Association

          American Society of Plastic Surgeons

          American Society for Reproductive Medicine

          American Urological Association

          Endocrine Society

          Federation of Pediatric Organizations

          GLMA: Health Professionals Advancing LGBTQ Equality

          The Journal of the American Medical Association

          National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women’s Health

          National Association of Social Workers

          Ohio Children’s Hospital

          Pediatric Endocrine Society

          Pediatrics (Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics ) and Seattle Children’s Hospital

          Texas Medical Association

          Texas Pediatric Society

          Again, many medical professionals don’t agree. Are those medical professionals also the “6th-grade-reading-level Americans” you speak of?

          Name one and I’ll tell you.

              I don’t want to “win”, I want you to defend your argument to the best of your ability so that I can improve my own.

              So, come on! Name one doctor that thinks its unsafe for trans kids to take puberty blockers. I’m not asking for much!
