Just wanted to see if you all had some thoughts/resources to help explain to a friend that the British medical system's restrictions on youth transitioning are based on a culture of transphobia, not some scientific consensus. The friend in question is, I think, a well-meaning "we should be more like Europe" liberal, and was reading about the UKs treatment of trans youth (namely their restrictions on transitioning) and seemed to think it was based on some level-headed analysis instead of it being TERF Island. I'm trying to educate myself on the whole situation since I've only got a general understanding, so let me know if you have any reading/thoughts and I'll take a look.
