In civilised countries, yes. And that is a good thing. Not having dysphoria does not mean that someone is not trans and this gatekeeping is a huge part of the problem,
This literally doesn't happen and is just fear mongering. Also it's presenting transitioning as the only choice. Guess what, not transitioning and going through puberty with the hormones that your body produces is also a choice.
Interesting that comments like yours creep up in a time where the Trumptard propaganda machine tries to vilify trans people.
Imo, it's best to gatekeep it as hard as possible for teens and make it a choice for 18+. For mostly the same reasons as many other limitations for kids/teens. So, if you're 14, you can only get HRT if you have seriously thoroughly medically proven gender dysphoria, but for 18+ you can just have it as a choice.
Okay, hope you're right, I can't really judge what's going on in America since I'm from country where trans are extremely rare. It's probably an impression formed by social media that in America trans is almost like a teen subculture.
Again, not transitioning is also a choice, a choice informed by ideology and forced upon the child. Anti-scientific bullshit.
Also, there are just as many trans people in your country as anywhere else. They are probably oppressed enough to not come out the closet.
Doing nothing to the condition that was unrecognized for most of the human history and nowadays is still not widely known or still being questioned can also be inertia or cautiousness rather than forced ideology. It's only anti-scientific if people get to know all the science behind it and proceed to deny it. But in my previous post I don't call to deny it for minors I only meant that minors shouldn't be able to do it on a whim, without proofs of condition being present. And for those without condition, not transitioning is not a choice in the same sense, because it doesn't carry negative consequences, while trying to transition actually can.
This is also a way to explain it. No way to check which one is real, but it is certainly a possibility.
