Are we talking about politicians deciding about transitioning children? As a parent I'd prefer the risk of suicide because of no transition to the risk of regret and suicide after transition. Yes, I believe in transition being generally illegal while underage, including HRT and puberty blockers. I also point out I think the same of circumcision, btw. I would allow specific exceptions to all this, obviously, for extreme situations, psychological or physical. But I'd never allow social contagion like is happening now.

"Care" is repairing something that's broken. Stopping puberty is not care and neither is messing with hormones. These are interventions, changes not fixes.

Puberty did change you from a boy into a man. Sex-wise you are still what you were before puberty: a human male. A man is a man, there's no such thing as a "cis man". I'm a man, you're a transgender man. You're the exception, not me.

About being awkward, a society that allows and encourages people into a dream of being something they can never fully be is cruel. So I prefer not doing it at all if possible. If we had the tech to actually turn men into women, it'd be a whole different debate because then "women" would remain as they were, so "men" could change into something other than "men". Now "women" are being absorbed into "men" and vice versa and that's making communication impossible.
