I know why so many people are like "NO, THIS CHILD IS STILL YOUNG AND THEY DONT KNOW WHAT "TRANSGENDER EVEN MEANS, SOMEONE IS JUST FORCING THEM TO DO THIS" and yes, you can get the vibe from how many people are doing it, but I feel like we shouldn't be so negative about it. Say, you where in the very same position as them, you might not me, but just sympathize with them for a second, let me help you imagine it.
You're in you elementary, born {gender} but ever since you were young you couldn't help but feel out of place, like there was something wrong with you. You never seemed to be as comfortable in your own skin as the other kids your age, something just felt wrong. One day, you happen to look it up, you wanted answers, did others feel the same way as you? or were you alone with this feeling, but no! There are many others! "LGBT+" You look up the meaning for all of them and only one seems to match how you're feeling, "trans". You think this is what your problem is, you were born with the wrong gender, you weren't boy/girl! You were meant to be born as boy/girl! Problem solved, but you have to wait to tell your parents. What now...?
Many child are already deciding what gender they want to be despite being a young age, I'm not saying we should just get them all a sex change at the age of 8, but we should do something to make them feel comfortable in their own skin,
no one should feel like they don't fit with their own skin
which will be with them till the day they die.
This is another topic I'm very passionate about, me being Bi
and a very close friend of mine being trans. He's young,
barely high schooler age, yet he has already taken this
big step for himself. (I'm using the correct pronoun
she wanted to be called by btw).
I think the 8 year old should be allowed to be trans without
judgement. And I agree with
