    fast-tracked

    Breen began puberty blockers at age 12, started cross-sex hormones at 13 and underwent a double mastectomy at 14

    So fast track is… a process that is several years long? Are the people who wrote this dumb or something?

      They jumped to the transition process instead of mental healthcare.

      Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and the UK don’t generally allow anything more than paperwork transitioning in children except in certain cases. There is a fairly long process involving mental healthcare before any hormones or surgeries are pursued.

        You’re showing a complete ignorance of the topic by claiming these are separate.

        fairly long

        What, like years? 🤣
