The most pervasive transphobic trope I encounter is this idea that all trans people support medically transitioning minors.

Like... no... not all trans people support child abuse, you conservative dingbats. Have you ever even met someone who's trans?

I know I worded this in a way that's technically going after conservatives, but I expect it would do more to offend some people who support medically transiting minors and don't think it's child abuse.

In my experience, conservatives tend to underestimate how much vetting usually goes into the process of both medical transitioning and hormone blockers/treatments, while trans activists tend to underestimate how often there are negative irreversible impacts from both all the same.

All of these can have real dangerous and irreversible consequences (both physical and mental) when administered at a young age before someone is intellectually and emotionally mature enough to consent to something so radical.
