I believe parents subjecting their children aged 5-9 to hormone treatments are abusers running after a trend. Schizophrenia usually develops after puberty, previous cases can happen but are extremely rare. The parents decision ultimately, but I don't see the advantage of medical interventions for anything related to gender "at an early age".

You must think doctors are fucking idiots if you think they're handing out hormones to pre-pubertal children on the say so of a parent.

Unfortunately there are private clinics practicing this very thing despite a majority of people growing out of their desire to transition at a later age. Medical abuse is not unprecedented. I believe it to plain child abuse and propose the the children affected get some legal support for possible recourse.

This is nonsense.

Maybe, in that case giving them a possible vehicle to defend themselves shouldn't pose a problem. And that includes holding parents and practitioners accountable.

No, it's nonsense to suggest that 5 year olds are being given hormones to trans them.
