    Then morally don’t do it yourself and leave everyone else to make their own decisions.

    Why do so many people care about what other people do to their own bodies?

      They oppose bans on care. But a slight majority thinks it’s wrong to transition.

      I think that’s what you’re looking for. They don’t want to do it, but don’t want to ban anyone who’s doing it.

        “But a slight majority thinks it’s wrong to transition.”

        Looks like someone forgot what freedom was about and needs to be educated on it.

          There are many misconceptions here. For instance, a sizeable fraction of the public believes that minors receive a sex-change surgery (they don’t) as opposed to just medication and therapy. I think most people are mostly worried that it is easy to transition and kids might do it without considering the consequences. These myths could be easily dispelled if they actually talk to transgenders.

        Medical and psychological consensus says we shouldn’t allow children to marry or drink alcohol or do drugs. Where’s the medical consensus that we shouldn’t allow GRT?
