A district judge in Wisconsin has sided with an 11-year-old trans girl over her use of the girls’ toilets and temporarily blocked school officials from preventing her access.

    Why would they need to go through puberty

    Because MASSIVE hormonal and neurological changes happen with puberty.

    It’s like the most drastic change of your body and mind that most people will ever experience in their lives.

      So the idea is to take someone who knows they’re trans and force permanent irreversible changes on them just for the joy of being cruel to children instead of just forestalling puberty with a reversible treatment.

        someone who knows

        Call me EXTREMELY skeptical that anyone knows fuck about anything before puberty, let alone their lifelong gender, sexuality, or anything else concerning the things that hormones change.

        reversible treatment.

        This is a total bullshit statement. We don’t know the long-term effects of puberty blocking, for this particular purpose. There’s plenty of studies that show the bone density is fucked up after, if they choose not to fully transition. Plenty of other side effects that may not be reversible, but we don’t know because it hasn’t been studied enough.

        So no. I call bullshit on that.
