Who could have seen this coming? /s
First it was children, then teenagers, now young adults. Transphobes will not stop until trans people are eradicated.
Don't. Give. One. Inch.
so you're gonna force them to look trans by fully developing bone structure and irreversible secondary sex characteristics of the sex they don't want, marking them for life and causing dysphoria, and it can only be partially reversed by painful and time consuming surgeries that are also far more expensive than simply getting them on blockers/HRT when puberty starts
I fucking hate this world
That would make it so much more difficult for people and cause so much needless suffering. I know people who left it late to start transitioning, and some of them struggle with regret that they didn't do it earlier while their body was still developing. Why should trans women who know as a teen that they want to transition have to suffer a decade of living with a body and an identity they find unbearable every day? How many more people will succumb to despair along the way? It's cruel, which I suppose is usually the point.

yeah they'll do that and then they'll push it to 30 and eventually they'll just ban it fully. 
Absolutely infantalising horseshit. What a joke.
Of course, by the age of 25, many will have solved their problem in their own way.
I vote she keeps her bigoted bullshit out of my loved one's lives. Denying people medical care never makes anyone safer. See abortion bans etc.
Seems too late. Just link it to the youngest age someone can join the military. If your old enough to kill and die in a warzone, you're old enough to seek medical treatment
