    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.

    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!
