There is no question that for the gender dysphoric to transition is an enormous relief from a lifetime of despair, depression, and agony. But.
I am convinced that the genuinely dysphoric are not only a minority of the "trans" community, but a small minority.
The insistence by activists on immediate transition is irresponsible and their claim that puberty is too late is simply not going to fly. This is creating the backlash you predicted a few months ago and it is potent. Children in their early teens are not ready to make decisions like that.
