thank you

but yeah probably. when i was around their [probable] age (which i'd say is 8-11) i didn't have any questions regarding my gender and still don't. of course just because i didn't experience it doesn't mean other people can't. what i mean is that i had no idea about gender dysphoria, therefore i never thought of questioning my gender. i think the idea of being trans should be explained better/introduced later so as to not cause false gender identities and have some children wish to change themselves completely only to regret it once they mature. i say support a child if they have it, because you never know, but never get something permanent done.

I feel the same way, but people in this community that desperately want people to know who and what they are want to put that onto children who aren’t mature enough to know exactly how they feel or what they want yet, it’s sad. But I guess we’re just supporting the diluting of the minds of children nowadays.

yeah. i feel like they should explain better how it works if they do it early, because if they don't explain well some children will doubt themselves because they are not fully feminine/masculine, and since that adult didn't clarify, they are left to their own.

also i think the idea that you have to be fully masculine/feminine to be "cis" and that only trans people can be ambiguous is stupid. i know that most likely, not every person thinks so, but that's the general idea i get from trans activists.

gender dysphoria is real but considering how many people say they're trans because:

a) they want special privileges/attention or to get away with something

b) got tricked into thinking they are due to miscommunication

c) gaslighting themselves unintentionally because they want to be special and because gender dysphoria/being trans is celebrated so much it's seen like some sort of achievement or accomplishment to be trans

makes it difficult for me to genuinely take a statement of dysphoria at face-value, which means i honestly always have a bit of skepticism around transgenderism.
