Many are white leftists using the trans community under the guise of "helping".

I should really get a ultrasonic picture of my perfect little uterus as avatar.
I'm not gay, I'm not trans, I am in fact so old fashioned my sexual orientation would allow me to fit right in in ancient Greece.
Not that this is any of your business.
The only way to achieve tolerance is exposure.
Like when you're afraid of spiders put one on your hand until you're not afraid anymore.

Oh you mean like states summarily overriding parental rights to whisk children away from their parents with no warning to "safe" houses for gender affirming care, even if those children come from other states and not even with one of their parents but merely with another adult?
Nope. No government interference there at all.
Trans youth are once again under attack in state legislatures across the country. This year, dozens of proposed bills would require schools to out trans students against their will, regardless of any harmful consequences at school or at home. These forced outing bills claim to protect parents’ rights, but they do no such thing. Instead, these bills endanger trans students, who have the right not to be outed and to be treated with dignity and respect at school. www.aclu.org...

Children need to be left alone. Families need to be left alone.
Puberty blockers are not harmless drugs and neither are cross sex hormones. And surgeries to alter their bodies?
Make these decisions when they become adults, not before they fully understand what it is they will be losing for the rest of their lives.
Many parents may hope their children will come to them first with questions about gender and sexuality. But not every child has that option. Youth who are transgender face a real risk of rejection by the adults who are supposed to care for them when they disclose their gender identity. Trans people are much more likely to be abused by their immediate family based on their gender identity, and high risks of abuse and family rejection mean trans youth are overrepresented in foster care homes, juvenile detention centers, and homeless shelters. These high rates of familial rejection and abuse dramatically increase the risks of suicidality, substance abuse, and depression. Not every child can be their true selves at home without risking their physical or emotional well-being. www.aclu.org...

We spend all this time moaning and bitching about
how modeling pushes a negative body image on people.
Now we have *this* in front of us as the next big
body image. . .
I'm sure gender transition
hormone treatments, puberty blockers, and top and
bottom surgeries set you up for a happier, healthier
existence when the *fashion* industry pushes this out
as the next chic thing to be "in" in the fashion world?

And you can't not also call out the GOP for using the trans community as a wedge issue to enrage their base just because conservatives are butthurt for losing they gay marriage thing so they attack one of the weakest minorities instead of tackling things like the economy, crumbling infrastructure, immigration, homelessness, the environment, gun violence and so on and so on.
The party of small government - in your pants.
People so concerned about parental rights and government intrusion not to mention the constitution should look no further than the government deciding what's best between families, children and their doctors.
