Having those concerns does not equate to being anti-trans.

This is the problem I have. My youngest kid (24 years old) is transgendered and has been since age 16. He has no intent of physically transitioning to a male body, mostly due to medical issues.
So believe me when I say I have no beef with transgender people, even if I still screw up the old pronouns now and again.
But my limit is right about here, with medical procedures being done on children. I can see both ends of the argument, but I don't know enough about the medical risks to be okay with a minor transitioning.
