What is the general view on here when it comes to medical transitioning for children under the age of 18?

What do you consider to be ethical?

What are some good points I can tell folks who tell me "BUT THE LEFT WANTS TO LET CHILDREN TRANSITION!?!".

    Every kid is gonna go through puberty eventually, we just want to make sure trans people go through the right one. For every cis kid who is "just confused" and regrets taking hormones to transition, there are thousands of trans kids forced to experience the wrong puberty due to societal barriers.

    The mainstream way to do this is to use puberty blockers til 18 then HRT, but some people transition earlier than that if they can and I'm super jealous tbh.

    I was on the wrong hormones til about age 21 (testosterone, naturally) and its done permanent damage to my body (especially my voice, male puberty lowers your voice but female puberty doesnt raise it). I really wish I had access to hormonal resources much earlier
