One of the weirdest tenets of mainstream transphobic thought is how the genteel transphobe believes they're more concerned about trans people's health than trans people themselves are.

They know they are evil. Why do you assume good intentions? Taking medicine from children is really evil. Not a lot of road left once you already doing that stuff. The next stop is rape, torture, slavery, murder...
I think classism is one of the main reasons the GC movement has been so damn successful in the UK. The paternalistic idea that politicians are our “social batters” should be allowed to make decisions for us is still unbelievably prevalent here.
It literally doesn't matter they are clearly raving bigots, advocating reducing the number of trans people, while ranting about racist conspiracies. They are seen as the class who must be listened to, regardless of how wrong or evil what they're saying is!
Kids will draw pictures of men and women equally in professions like doctor and teacher and engineer and chef and then ALL OF A SUDDEN at age six they will gender those professions. If we wanna talk about what is and isn’t “ingrained” in kids about gender, let’s talk about that!! lol
It's like yeah man, that's been standard and well accepted in early child development studies since the 60s, with people positing it all the way back to the early 1900s.
I thought the skepticism about this was solved by 2000 when it turned most of the natal boys with cloacal exstrophy who were assigned female at birth… ended up identifying as male by middle of childhood, but somehow the GCs have retreated to unironically repeating John Money’s theories anyway.
Rooted in their belief that being trans is just being confused (i.e. not real), hence "caring" leads to violence that is justified in their own minds. "I'm doing this [violence] for your own good."
Difficult to move them if they can't be lead to understand that trans existence is real and valid.

Now then, what's a hormone... Puberty you say? And what is that?"
Like "can you believe these troons think concepts of gender self-identity solidifies at around ages 2-4."

Because it can be and it is sometimes so. But an ideology that ignores the atypical gets to pretend common sense is never wrong.
It's also lazy - a way of justifying not doing any thinking, a way of letting prejudice ride.
