''Many end up committing suicide before they are cleared.''

Hmm I wonder why that is..

Rate of suicide attempts for transgenders is 41%, compared to 4.6% for the overall population.

May I propose that they might not be..as they say.. healthy?

>''- actual thing that most trans people already know at a very young age, that is more advantageous to start before secondary sexual characteristics set in, hormonal treatment that is.''
>Implying that it is a good thing to prevent your natural sexual development
>Because kid ''feels'' a certain way

*** off with that cancer logic. There is no physical proof of transgender people having the brain function, or any physical property for that matter, of the opposite gender. The only thing that they have is their subjective feelings, which do not dictate reality. If you are a male that likes to dress up in pink clothes and wear make up, you are just an ordinary *** no matter how much you ''feel'' that you are a female on the inside.

''Oh but you don't understand, depression and suicide is really common among transgender people, and if we don't give them the surgery and medication, they might kill themselves!''

Then maybe instead of drugging and mutilating people, and especially children, we could start treating this like the mental illness it most certainly is.

If you like to dress in traditionally female clothes as a male or vice versa, fine. But don't pretend for one second that biology is some sort of social construct.
