This opinion kills people. Being Transgender is recognised by doctors worldwide, and banning treatment will directly lead to harm to transgender people. It is not a new phenomenon, and there is evidence that gender transition treatments have been around for thousands of years. Transgender people just want to live their lives as their desired gender.
@9NLD3SP10mos10MO
Not your body not your choice! How a person presents themselves have no impact on any other human being at all!
bodily autonomy should be protected. trans people are some of the most vulnerable in our society, they should be protected, not vilified.
@9NSCHJD10mos10MO
Why? Who does that help? What they do with thier bodies dosent effect you. Let other people make thier own decitions in life.
@9MZV2TZ10mos10MO
Honestly, I think this is just bigotry. It's making unpleasant choices about someone else's life. I don't imagine those recommending it would much like it if society decided that they were now the opposite gender.
@9Q5W7W69mos9MO
No one chooses to be in the wrong body, but if you are and you can change it, why disallow someone happiness
@9MZ5QV610mos10MO
Gender affirming treatments are used by non trans people all the time, boob jobs, hair transplants etc.
A person transitioning hurts no one.
The first book burning in Nazi germany was the burning of trans medical research, are you really on their side?
@9MRHD6910mos10MO
Gender transitioning treatments are incredibly helpful for those suffering from gender dysphoria and any prevention from receiving those treatments result in worse mental health issues for young people
Transgender individuals make up a very low percentage of the UK population, and for the vast majority of them their quality of life improves significantly when they transition socially and/or medically.
Regret that leads to detransitioning is much less likely than it is for the majority of other medical interventions - and other medical interventions are not made inaccessible to everyone who may benefit just because some people experience regret.
@9LSRPD411mos11MO
No one is forcing you to transition. Let people live their lives how they want to. It literally has no effect on your life. ****
@9P34QW610mos10MO
Banning all gender affirming care would massively impact the mental health of an entire section of society and would be akin to a hate crime. Every individual should have the right to make decisions about their own body.
@9NQ7XXZ10mos10MO
Denying the social and medical legitimacy of trans identities and people does not stop them from existing, it just further represses individuals, communities and honestly society as a whole. Trans healthcare saves lives.
People should have the right to decide treatment on their own bodies. As gender confirming treatments are critical to the mental and physical health of transgender and gender-queer individuals, the choice of whether or not they can access treatments should be personal.
@9NN4TWT10mos10MO
You choice should be with the individual if they want to pursue gender transition, it should not be up to others to decide if someone can transition (unless there are medical issues related to that individual with the procedures)
@9NMHBZTLiberal Democrat10mos10MO
Trans rights are human rights. Getting rid of gender transition kills, and is a personal freedom that the government should not impede on. It would be the first step towards a genocide.
@9NKKJFL 10mos10MO
People who want to transition, want to do it because their gender dysphoria is so great that living in their current body isn't worth it anymore. Gender transitioning treatment is there to help people feel comfortable as who they are and is there to prevent suicide in not only trans people but trans youth, so gender transitioning care should be available to anyone and should be provived on the NHS.
@9N3YQNB10mos10MO
It has been repeatedly and consistently proved that gender affirming care in proves the well being, happiness and health of trans people, and prevents mental health issues and suicide. Trans affirming care is literally life saving care
This would be against the guidelines from medical professionals, which overwhelmingly support transition as a means to treat gender dysphoria.
@9MHDSYS11mos11MO
Banning gender transitioning benefits absolutely no one, allowing gender transition greatly improves quality of life for the vast majority undertaking it, and has no negative impact on anyone else, despite sensationalised bigoted headlines on social media and the tabloids
@9M65FHF11mos11MO
This would cause huge mental health issues with people, why are you making it such a big deal? Just let people be the gender they want to be
@9M56YR211mos11MO
Data is emerging that many kids who were pushed and supported to transition now hate themselves and want to go back !
Another question at 13 if my kid asked for a boob job they’d quite rightly deny it but they want to give same age kids hormones to make their breasts grow like a woman’s it’s insane and child abuse and shouldn’t be allowed
@9LXHX4F11mos11MO
Trans people know themselves and who they are. By making the ability to transition easier, you will cause less harm. And someone's gender identity does not affect anyone but themselves.
@9JXT2QZ 10mos10MO
When it comes to gender transition, it is the decision of the individuals themselves that made this decision by their own free will if they feel more comfortable transitioning to another gender. It is their decision and others should learn to respect that decision regardless of their opinions about gender transition.
so are we meant to just let trans kids continue killing themselves because they don't have access to treatment

Humanity. Compassion. Common sense. Just let people live as they most wish to, they aren't harming anyone
@Kat299 10mos10MO
This would go against the general medical consensus that the best treatment for gender dysphoria is transition.
@9MTJJ4X10mos10MO
This would be against the guidelines from medical professionals, which overwhelmingly support transition as a means to treat gender dysphoria.
@9MDGYX6 11mos11MO
That is essentially condemning transgender people to conversion therapy or death - either murder or suicide. Forcing people into either is abhorrent and unacceptable in a free society.
