It was hateful and untrue and dangerous. The medical professionals who ultimately decide to initiate therapy do, indeed, know more about it than you do and I trust those professionals. Puberty blockers can be stopped and their effects can be reversed, that's why these medications usually have to be taken over a lifetime. Obviously, most surgery is irreversible but those steps are rarely taken before adulthood. If the medications can help the emotional well-being of a transgender child and reduce suicide I'm 100% behind them.
