That we are asking the question at all is incomprehensible. The answer is so glaringly obvious that I really wonder about the mental faculties of anyone who needs to ponder it for more than 10 seconds. But here we are, with what appears to be a large majority of people nodding along. The media presents trangenderism as if it was a solid diagnosis of a medical condition — the result of a battery of tests and examinations. Most of the affirming public still believe, against all evidence, that there is a deliberate, methodical assessment process. Then, once the diagnosis is made, the "lifesaving" treatment for this often deadly condition is recommended. Aside from bigots who wish to keep children from accessing these treatments out of their squeamishness over trans people, this is standard modern medical practice. Any uninformed individual hearing the story from the mainstream US media would have no reason to believe anything else. The question of sterilization and consent isn't a problem, because it's simply never brought up.
Thank you for this thorough piece. Really covers the topic well.
