For the most part I agree with a lot of what you said. However apparently you drank the Kool-Aid in your comments about young children. No one does surgery or gives them HRT. This is a lie perpetrated by the extreme GC crowd. As children approach puberty and it is clear that they are uncomfortable with it because their gender identity is different from their sex assigned at birth, puberty blockers are sometimes administered to delay its onset. If the child is in fact not trans, the treatments are stopped and puberty continues as normal with no adverse effects. If in fact the child is trans, HRT is started to allow puberty to proceed in a manner consistent with their identity. It is quite simply inaccurate to suggest surgery and HRT are given to young children. It just does not happen in spite of the inflammatory rhetoric that appears too frequently in social media.

While do you do not state it, I suspect that you also believe that trans women should be segregated from cis women in private spaces. I am a passable postop trans woman, and I have a right to be there should you think to the contrary. No one notices me either clad or unclad, since I look just like everyone else. I am not a special class of woman. I am a woman pure and simple. Since you are a cis woman who has no experience as part of the trans community, I think you do not appreciate the extreme prejudice that exists in many quarters towards us. You really have to live it to understand. Too many are not as accepting as you optimistically assume. That is why establishing our legitimacy through scientific observation is so important to changing hearts and minds.
