I heavily agree, ROGD (Rapid onset gender dysphoria) is a serious thing and providing kids with the resources to go behind their parents backs to transition is dangerous to our future

Gender dysphoria is a recognized medical condition. The American Academy of Pediatrics supports affirming care, including puberty blockers, for transgender youths. These treatments are reversible and can provide significant mental health benefits by reducing distress. What if parental disagreement or lack of understanding is causing harm to the child's mental health?

Yhe LGBTQ+ community from a young age. By doing this, we can create a more inclusive and accepting society. For instance, it might help children who are questioning their gender identity to understand they are not alone and that there is nothing wrong with them. It could also foster empathy in peers who don't identify as LGBTQ+, reducing bullying and discrimination. What are your thoughts about the potential benefits of this type of education, and how do you suggest we balance this with your concerns about confusion?

Yes I definitely agree with that. It's too much information for kids so just let them be kids until they find out about it around their teen years like how I grew up learning about it.

For some kids, gender identity isn't a "wait and see" situation. They know who they are from a very young age, and having to navigate puberty in a body that doesn't align with their identity can be extremely distressing. That's why treatments like puberty blockers exist, to give these kids time to explore their identity without the pressure of irreversible physical changes. What do you think about this? Is there a middle ground that respects both the need for kids to be kids and their self-identified gender identity?

In a review of 27 studies involving almost 8,000 teens and adults who had transgender surgeries, mostly in Europe, the U.S and Canada,

1%

on average expressed regret.

ONLY 1%. IT INCLUDES ADULTS.

Believing that children under 13 would be confused by the idea of gay and trans people just shows that you don't understand how complex children's minds are. I knew I was gay by 11, trans by 14.

 @9G9M53Lfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

I agree with this statement. The topic of lgbtqa+ is far too advanced for children under the age of 13. I believe you should just teach the main subjects.
