  1. Call me old fashioned. Call me a reactionary. Call me whatever you want. But if you get to call me those things l get an opinion too. 1) I am completely against encouraging minors to begin tranisitioning early. 2) I am completely of the opinion that any transitioning up to and including surgery should not be done without comprehensive medical and psychological evaluation. 3) Any individual opting for this must be made thoroughly knowledgeable of sny medical and or psychological risks of said procedures and treatments. As well as signing off on multiple approval documents that are notarized. 4) The primary focus of any psychological or psychiatric therapy for any individual should focus on seeing if the individual can maintain their birth gender while still maintaining a healthy mental state. One other thing that needs to be understood by everyone. No matter how many hormone treatments an individual undergoes. No matter how many surgeries an individual undergoes said individual is still genetically be the gender they were born as. All they will ever be is an imitation of the gender they are assuming. Perhaps in the future medical science will allow an individual to fully transition from one gender to another. But if medical science ever reaches that point curing diseases and healing injuries will be childs play. PS, i am completely opposed to allowing transgender athletes from competing in competitive sports in the gender they are transitioning too assuming. Most males if they are transitioning and have already been engaged in competitive sports are going to have an unfair advantage in physical strength and speed. I refuse to see womens sports be thrown under the bus just to cater to a small minority of individuals.
