This. Thank you for writing this. This is everything that goes through my mind, when students (high school) tell me they are trans. I sit by quietly, not praising nor affirming their ideology. I’m not allowed to question as a teacher, but I actually hope they will grow out of it before they do irreversible harm. And I think, have you ever thought about, 5, 10, 15 years down the road. Any logical thinking person that knows how hormones work can see that you would be wreaking havoc on your body by giving it the hormones opposite of the ones your body naturally produces. It is complete insanity to me and it is absolutely not “care”.

Indeed, it is not "care"! Cruel might be a better word.
This is fantastic.
