It’s honestly hard to see these people speak so confidently about trans children. “Appreciate beauty and art?” I barely left my room from 5th grade to 9th. I had no friends. My grades were so dismal, I had to repeat 7th grade. I repeatedly attempted suicide. I once got my dad’s .38 pistol, held in my mouth and tried to pull the trigger. I still have a sense memory of the taste of the gun oil. None of this is about helping these kids. They have one answer, deny health care, and all the facts will be rearranged to fit it.

During puberty we learn to fall in love, understand others deeply, & appreciate beauty & art. We transition from childhood play to embracing the bittersweet complexity of human connection. Blocking this natural process prevents essential emotional & psychological development.
