For the last fucking time, no one is doing surgery on children you have to be 18 to get surgery. Puberty blockers do not cause any long-term consequences, and if it did y'all would have been fighting people when it was prescribed for precocious puberty, but no one seemed to give a fuck about it until it affects trans kids.
Trans kids with support are more likely to flourish and have less mental health problems. Trans kids who are forced to conform to the gender they were assigned at birth are more likely to end up with more mental health problems and suicide attempts.
This has been well documented, maybe use your computer or phone to do some fucking research instead of believing in your feelings.

Did you even read your own post?
From the linked article:
> The findings emphasize the urgency of building welcoming and safe communities for LGBTQ young people, particularly for transgender youth.
And from the study itself:
> Research clearly reveals that minority identities are not the cause of health disparities. Ultimately, researchers must comprehensively examine the factors (eg, gender minority stress29) that explain why transgender adolescents experience higher odds of suicide behavior and, perhaps more importantly, why some transgender adolescents do not. For example, research reveals that family acceptance and support are associated with diminished disparities in depression between transgender and cisgender children.

50.8% of trans males have reported to attempted suicide. Is this the “flourishing” you’re referring to? Is the national center for transgender Equality not a good enough source for you? One of us is posting facts and studies, the other is spewing bs
