    Is it protecting children? Claims need evidence and rules need tests. Until we do that its fear-based, exploitable control for the sake of control.

      Yeah that’s the problem with legislation like this. You’ll have proponents claim it protects children without actually explaining how.

      No, sometimes we actually need to act before knowing everything. What we know for a fact currently is that the number of children who think they are trans or non-binary is in a sharp rise in many countries in the west. Only in the west, somehow. If this is caused by something that is reversible, then it probably should be tried out.
