There is NO LEGITMATE argument for "trans" kids

Aside from normal people being opposed to all of this, the group that should be screaming loudest should be gay men and lesbians. The Trans Movement is completely eliminating the possibility of effeminate boys becoming gay as they get older, or butch girls become lesbian by suggesting that any veer towards the opposite sex in terms of behavior means they want to BE that sex.

Trans activists are eradicating the L and the G.

This is the reason why Trump went from 14% of the gay vote in 2016 to 30% in 2020.

True and if you added up every 'trans' person, it's essentially a rounding error.

LGBT

LGB=sexual preference
T=mental illness

Not sure why the gays allowed the trannies to hitch their wagon to their horse.

LGB=sexual preference

Even they don't know what the hell it's for, because saying it's a "preference" now gets them all spun up

1000% this

Medical and pharmaceutical community disagree. This is where the trans push is coming from and they are a very strong force.

The seeming lack of any real internal pushback there is so very troubling.

Do all of these gay guys think straight men will want to be with them if they start wearing dresses and calling themselves women?

Adults too

Because there's no such thing ... Kids don't know what they want

Two different questions. First, the latter. I agree with you completely.

Now, the former.

No sane person could argue against the proposition that some percentage of the "trans" kids today are acting out and that (absent the knife) would grow into reasonably adjusted adults, whether gay or straight. Yes, sometimes it is even due to environmental conditions created by crazy parents.

By the same token, I would hope that no sane person could argue against the proposition that SOME percentage of "trans" kids have inherent, physical reasons that their gender behaviors do not "match" their XX or XY genetics or their genitalia. Sometimes, this is due to hormonal conditions in utero, and sometimes due to genetic insensitivity to various hormones (e.g. AIS). And, in some cases, we are back to crazy parents. But in SOME of cases, a physical transition may well be the best-available solution for problem that can never be 100% solved. Some people are simply so screwed-up (whether physically, emotionally or mentally) that they can NEVER be completely comfortable in either a male body OR a female body (whether original condition or modified).

We can argue all day about what percentage falls into each of those two categories (personally, I think that the latter category is damned small), but it is simply not possible TO argue with people so close-minded and/or uninformed as to insist that the latter category does not exist.

Precisely the lack of understanding regarding these two categories AND our current inability to accurately predict the development of any given kid ARE the reasons that transitioning young kids (whether surgically, medically or socially) is a very bad idea. It seems obvious that some number (a significant number, IMO) would be wrongly "transitioned" when they otherwise would have developed into a perfectly functional adult, whether straight or gay.
