that sounds horrible

This definitely portrays something true and horrible BUT remember the horribleness exists both ways: The real issue isn't "with trans people" versus "against trans people", except among those who feel a need to blindly follow either of side even when one is wrong. The real issue is "letting people decide for themselves who they are or aren't" versus "we know better and will be deciding what you think and feel for you". It would be as evil to brainwash someone who isn't trans into thinking that they are transgender, as it is to brainwash someone who is trans into thinking they aren't and it's just a phase or they don't know what they feel.

I've had my own experiences with the "listen to logic we know better who you are and what you feel" crowd, and sometimes wish I could talk more about it, but it goes beyond what the vast majority can presently understand (for several reasons) and I know what I'd be getting into. I thus prefer watching and acting from the shadows... and from the shadows I will work.

Objectively biologically a girl can never grow up to be a man. You might pump her full of so much testosterone she fails to develop fertility, gets a little larger, hairier, and more aggressive than she would naturally, and so on but ultimately all you're doing is damaging her body and her future for the sake of trendy politically correct nonsense about internal identity superseding reality.

And you might prefer acting from the shadows, but I believe in maximum transparency and openness, even about my own undesirable qualities.

She should give that dingo the big feet for that, and by that I mean punt him across the Outback.

The studies show how bad an idea this is on every level, what with kids going through phases they grow out of, permanent damage to the body, how much of an authoritarian overreach this is, etc, but this isn't shocking. They can't listen to reason and facts, only push their regime by force for the sake of "muh feelings." I remember liking Barney when I was a toddler, so by their logic, I should still be watching it for the rest of my life, just because it was a thing for a short time in my life.
