    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!
