And I think those changes are positive for a lot of people. I don't believe psychology is unified on some sort of test to determine if a kid is transgendered and I honestly don't think they ever will be. Psychology is not a hard science.

I get that this sounds rough but I truly believe that a lot of people that stop puberty on their boys in particular because they seem 'transgender' are effectively castrating their effeminate sons that are far more likely to just be gay or just effeminate straight men.

TC unless you are trans maybe do what BabyRoxann suggests.

Trans people know they are trans at a very young age.

I don't see myself as transphobic but I would strongly disagree that science is involved at all in this debate as a deciding factor. We don't know what goes on in peoples minds. Psychology is not a hard science. Not even close. Any attempt to paint it as such is wrapped up in pseudoscientific nonsense.

So where does that leave us?

Most of the people on this board were born male. Gay or straight or whatever.

Nearly all of us can speak to the fact that puberty was a massive shift in our sexuality that permanently changed our lives. It added something incredibly significant for better or worse to our daily lives.

Yes, as a cis male I too know what's best for the trans community.

Puberty blockers have negligible effects on the body if they're started and then stopped; in fact, they're lessened even more if they're started earlier. Most importantly, we already prescribe puberty blockers to non-trans children all the damn time.

Let people make their own choices

You are saying that children that haven't gone through puberty are prepared to make an informed decision over whether or not they should have it happen.

I'm student of history. Eunuchs were made for many reasons throughout history. Castratos so that they would sing in a high voice for their entire lives. Guards to a harem. Court bureaucrats that were trusted because it was literally impossible for them to have a dynasty of their own.

Today in Iran gay men are castrated because its more tolerable for them to pretend to be women.

Any time in history it has happened it has been monstrously evil.

But now today we are saying we should do the exact same thing to kids that have never gone through puberty but its totally ok. What makes it ok? I'm saying the reasons are flimsy. You are pointing at psychologists as if its a hard science and it isn't. Period.

Castratos literally had their balls chopped off, which, if I'm remembering correctly, is not reversible. Puberty blockers are almost completely reversible.

I am transgender and I wish I had never went through puberty. It causes me a lot of distress and I would be much happier had I never developed the secondary sexual characteristics that came along with it. Puberty blockers are not castration. You are incredibly ignorant. Puberty can be delayed. It can not be reversed, though.

Why do people that like to harp on about psychology not being a hard science tend to be such bigoted assholes?

How would someone that had been effectively chemically castrated from the age of 10 even know what they are actually losing by someone chopping off their balls?

You calling it bigoted for me to say this doesn't change that it is absolutely true that psychology is not a hard science.
