    You stated I was in the minority, which wasn’t true

    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!
