    “BUt tHaTs DiFfErEnT”

    HOW

    Why is one okay and the other isn’t?

    As usual, the only real answer is either an appeal to tradition or an appeal to authority

      No, you don’t get it. Helping trans kids to go thru their desired puberty is an irreversible decision they are too young to make on their own. On the other hand, deciding to do nothing and send them thru their naTuRal puberty is as irreversible but you increase their risk for suicide. It’s literally the trolley problem but there is no one on the lane when you pull the trigger.

    Wait, what’s this about ballet classes? I know their feet usually are injured, but is there more than that?

      I had a classmate that did ballet as a kid. Her legs were permanently twisted, and she started having knee issues in her 20s

      I think they just mean that it builds strength of bones and muscle, and increases flexibility at a time in development when it will have lifelong (generally beneficial) effects
