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.

 @9NLD3SPdisagreed…10mos10MO

Not your body not your choice! How a person presents themselves have no impact on any other human being at all!

 @9NMFRFVLabourdisagreed…10mos10MO

bodily autonomy should be protected. trans people are some of the most vulnerable in our society, they should be protected, not vilified.

 @9NSCHJDdisagreed…10mos10MO

Why? Who does that help? What they do with thier bodies dosent effect you. Let other people make thier own decitions in life.

 @9MZV2TZdisagreed…10mos10MO

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.

 @9Q5W7W6disagreed…9mos9MO

No one chooses to be in the wrong body, but if you are and you can change it, why disallow someone happiness

 @9MZ5QV6disagreed…10mos10MO

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?

 @9MRHD69disagreed…10mos10MO

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

 @9M22FPVGreendisagreed…11mos11MO

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.

 @9LSRPD4disagreed…11mos11MO

No one is forcing you to transition. Let people live their lives how they want to. It literally has no effect on your life. ****

 @9P34QW6disagreed…10mos10MO

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.

 @9NQ7XXZdisagreed…10mos10MO

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.

 @9NN5HV8Greendisagreed…10mos10MO

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.

 @9NN4TWTdisagreed…10mos10MO

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 Democratdisagreed…10mos10MO

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 disagreed…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.

 @9N3YQNBdisagreed…10mos10MO

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

 @9MKNLN2Greendisagreed…11mos11MO

This would be against the guidelines from medical professionals, which overwhelmingly support transition as a means to treat gender dysphoria.

 @9MHDSYSdisagreed…11mos11MO

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

 @9M65FHFdisagreed…11mos11MO

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

 @9M56YR2agreed…11mos11MO

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

 @9LXHX4Fdisagreed…11mos11MO

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 from Kuala Lumpur  disagreed…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.

 @9MMTVKJGreendisagreed…10mos10MO

so are we meant to just let trans kids continue killing themselves because they don't have access to treatment

 @9M46QGGdisagreed…11mos11MO

Humanity. Compassion. Common sense. Just let people live as they most wish to, they aren't harming anyone

  @Kat299 disagreed…10mos10MO

This would go against the general medical consensus that the best treatment for gender dysphoria is transition.

 @9MTJJ4Xdisagreed…10mos10MO

This would be against the guidelines from medical professionals, which overwhelmingly support transition as a means to treat gender dysphoria.

 @9MDGYX6 disagreed…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.
