Maybe this story had some details. https://www.thefp.com/p/i-thought-i-was-saving-trans-kids
In the UK they had to close a gender clinic (Tavistock) when all the misconduct became public.
And Tavistock was not doing surgeries.
Many of those kids who are given hormones will end up getting surgery, as blocking hormones is also said to block the process of people settling in their "gender".
And of course a lot of the kids given hormones will end up getting surgery, because their dysphoria is highly unlikely to resolve itself with or without hormones and for those whose dysphoria does not resolve surgery will be the best option for many - hence the very low regret rates.
And hence the drive to get puberty blockers to delay the need to decide on either.
You're buying into a hysteria founded on ignoring the actual and immoral harm being inflicted on trans youth by those seeking to deny them care in order to try to pretend they mostly don't exist. It's at best deeply misguided, at worst deeply bigoted.
Since most people end up not actually being trans, more people are now hurt by pushing transitioning as the solution for everything.
And you absolutely can not deny that it is being pushed.
It is not being pushed.
I'm on my phone so I can't back that up, but we've already established in this thread that is sufficient grounds to be believed.
Not sure how you manage to live in so much denial, but if you can truly pull it off, congratulations! May it work out well for you!
Unclear how many of the kids who receive hormones end up getting surgery.
And yet you're arguing for denying them the option that'd reduce the demand for these surgeries.
And you don't know how many are pushed into surgeries later by the hormone blockers, which already have irreversible effects themselves.
And numbers also haven't tripled in a few years just because society is more accepting or whatever (while we supposedly have a moral panic against it, too).
