Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to "just get along" / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn't work.

There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.

Me over here with actually somewhat radical positions.

All HRT should be available OTC. (Yes, including T.)

A parent denying a child access to puberty blockers should be required to pay reparations if the child continues to identify as trans into adulthood.

Require unisex bathrooms for any business larger than a bananna stand.

I don't believe parents should be able to make any permanent decisions about a child's body.

This includes hormones, tattoos, genital mutilation of any kind, plastic surgery, piercings.

Children cannot provide consent for anything.

You're right - which is why puberty blockers should be required by law for all children until they're 18 and can decide for themselves which puberty is right for them.
