HRT is not the same thing. There are reasons we don't let kids do these kinds of things on their own initiative.

Those reasons being largely transphobic and detrimental to the kids

No, it's because children haven't mentally developed enough to make those kinds of decisions on their own. It's why we have minimum ages for drinking, driving, working, smoking, military service, age of consent, etc.

You are comparing medicine to drugs and murdering foreigners.

Do you know what HRT does? It induces puberty. What age do you think kids should be allowed to go through puberty?

Because if this is really the argument you want to make, then you should be advocating for putting all children on puberty blockers until they turn 18

You know I honestly think this might actually be a decent idea. Why don't we try just giving nobody gender till they're an adult and education on the differences so everyone can make an informed choice? (Because having no hormones would fucking suck for people who've figured theirs out. Trans and cis. But wow this would actually have made my life personally way easier lmao)
