[Edit] Previous comment was modified to just be a straight up attack, kind of proving the heresy point.

Eh you can be pedantic about terminology and use it to dismiss me entirely if you want, but I think you’re wrong about this: https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/top-trans-doctors-blow-the-...

Whatever the case, it’s more nuanced than you’re suggesting.

"Cancel culture" and "heresy" is definitely when some dude refuses to debate your giant rational brain on a forum run by a party who agrees with your side.

[Edit] previous comment was edited to just be an attack. My response is for what was there before.

I said “young person” which remains true and never said or implied forced. The pre-surgery stuff starts before 18.

Your vitriol is an example of the issues around this topic and why I think it’s a problem/example of heresy.

It can be true that some benefit from transitioning and should be be able to carry that out and also true that some are persuaded to for social reasons and regret it. When people pretend it's all or nothing either way is when I get worried about bad outcomes.
