Forcing trans kids to pretend that they are somebody else until some arbitrary age when their lives are allowed to start for real is not a neutral act either. There are, in fact, no neutral acts in life. Not one second is reversible.
In October 2023 our coroner issued a prevention of future deaths report, after my trans child took her life, due to poor MH attributed to lack of access to trans affirmative care.

Elon Musk has destroyed the ability to see all the replies to this thread without searching so here’s the entire thing in all its glory. My favorite part is when he deletes his tweet and says he didn’t even think it was funny
