It’s more common among the older generations to my knowledge, but yes there are absolutely conservative queer people that are actively transphobic. I recently made the mistake of reading the comments under an article about the increase in transphobic legislation and hate crime (hate crime in general, so against all queer people) in britain, and there were lots of gay people going “lmao what rights have we lost, name one right” or “I don’t give a fuck, I haven’t experienced this where I live” :(
Kids are never offered “life changing surgeries”. This doesn’t happen. Evidence very much suggests being trans is a genuine neurological condition that we are born with.
Our brains match our gender.
Brains are not necessarily binary.
We understand some of the causes.
“Risk” of being born trans seems to be partly genetic.
Our identities are stable.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is on our side.
Adults don’t regret surgery. And another study on the same.
Additionally, getting a diagnosis is a long process (and it’s not guaranteed that you’ll get one), and then actually getting treatment takes even more time (also not guaranteed).
