I have no doubt that folks on the right will exploit that, but I'd also argue that supporting irreversible transition procedures on children, often against the wishes of the parents, is not a tiny point as you callously put it. It's THE point.

Against the wishes of the parents? While I'm not deep into it like that, I'm pretty darn certain that's very much NOT a thing.

(However, I do have therapists in my family, and they do have serious concerns that too many parents are encouraging their kids in this direction)
