This makes a lot of sense

Thanks. And one thing I meant to include there was the concern over reassignment surgery. You always hear "Kids shouldn't be getting their genitals cut off before they even hit puberty!" Those people are absolutely correct, but they are making up a problem that doesn't exist. And whether or not they mean to, they are reinforcing a common anti-trans sticking point: that parents and doctors are putting small children under the knife because they did something non-gender-conforming. The anti-trans crowd wants to get people ignorant on the issue to agree on such a "common sense" concern so they can go: "See? See? It's not just us who think that's wrong!"
