Note to any readers who have been convinced by the FALSE rhetoric on trans by people who are NOT medical professionals
Trans kids often need help with extreme levels of anxiety as they approach puberty due to a brain trapped in a body that is not the right gender for it. It is too late to use puberty blockers once they have already completed the transition to an adult body. Puberty blockers give their brain time to catch up with their body if they are amongst the lucky ones that get back in sync. If this doesn't happen they can then transition fully as an adult.
Scientists say this and medical professionals unanimously say that this is the only way to handle people who are genuinely trans who exprerience extraordinary levels of distress if they are not permitted to use puberty blockers.
It is very cruel to block access to puberty blockers to trans kids who need them - obviously after careful medical professional testing.
A few decades from now current atttitudes of many to trans will seem like medieval science.
Short summary of the science at 8 minutes into this video, as summarized by a trans woman based on the Scientific American article.

BLOG: Yes some people really are biologically trans or biologically gender fluid - may be XX males - XY females - intersex - have sexual organs that change gender as they mature - and minds and brains out of sync with their bodily gender
YES THERE IS A VERY SMALL ADVANTAGE FOR A TRANSWOMAN ATHLETE IN SOME SPORTS, ESPECIALLY RUNNING, THAT REMAINS EVEN AFTER HORMONE THERAPY - BUT NOT ENOUGH TO TURN AN ORDINARY ATHLETE INTO AN ELITE ATHLETE - FOR MOST SPORTS THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE
It is far more nuanced than other things because there is some scientific evidence for a small advantage in some sports.
There is NO WAY that the US should be regulate the participation of trans athletes in womens' sports at the school level country wide. For SOME SPORTS mainly atheltics, especially running it IS appropriate at the top of the league for some sports associations to have regulations on it.
But even in running, a small trans woman athlete who is similar in size to a biologically woman athlete has no advantage over women (after gender affirmation therapy)
After tonight the Democratic Party (my party) must rethink many of its policies as it ponders its future.
To have a chance at victory Democrats should try listening to the concerns of the working class for a change. As a lifelong moderate Democrat I share their distain for many of the insane positions advocated by my party.
Democrat politicians defy biology by believing that men can actually become women and belong in women’s sports, rest rooms, locker rooms and prisons and that children should be mutilated in pursuit of the impossible.
They believe borders should be open to millions of illegals which undermines workers’ wages and the affordability of housing when we can’t house our own citizens.
They discriminate against whites, Asians and men in a vain effort to counter past discrimination against others and undermine our economy by abandoning merit selection of students and employees.
Democratic mayors allow homelessness to destroy our beautiful cities because they won't say no to destructive behavior. No you can’t camp in this city. No you can’t shit in our streets No you can’t shoot up and leave your used needles everywhere. Many of our prosecutors will not take action against shoplifting unless a $1000 of goods are stolen leading to gangs destroying retail stores. They release criminals without bond to rob and murder again.
The average voter knows this is happening and outright reject our party. Enough.
Oh on trans its the Republicans that are locked in last century thinking. Science moved past that long ago and it is now well established that some kids ARE biologically trans. Their mind is that of a woman, their body that of a man or vice versa.
I go into the science here:
The USA is very behind the times here. To some extent the UK my own country is too.
I help many trans people as they are amongst the most scared by the Republican party. Some are suicidal and the child of one of the people we help attempted suicide when the results came out. Thankfully unsuccessfully.

My blog post is here with the very clear scientific evidence linking to sources in the likes of Scientific American and Nature that indeed some kids are biologically trans.
Also they need treatment for extreme levels of anxiety as they approach puberty. . It is too late to use puberty blockers once they have already completed the transition to an adult body. Puberty blockers give their brain time to catch up with their body if they are amongst the lucky ones that get back in sync. If this doesn't happen they can then transition fully as an adult.
