I like doctors who take decisions on my well being to have good research and experience in the topic to give me good advice. Even when the advice is: don’t take the medicine even though you’ll feel bad for a while.
I don’t think it is patronising to try and understand kids and advice them for their well being.
Changing sex is not one of those little mistakes I’d like my children to make. If they want to do that I definitely don’t want that to be a mistake, and I do want the therapist following them in the process to have evidence backed research to actually aid them in the process.
What these people say? It’s not science. It’s bias, wearing a veneer of science, so that people who don’t like the idea of trans kids existing can point at something other than their own internal discomfort.
