Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

While i do believe it is possible that there maybe Trans people in existence that knew since a young age that they would want to transition

Most children know their gender by age 3.

The second fact is, children simply cannot make an informed decision let alone give informed consent to any hormones, pills, “binding” or transitionary intervention.

Here some facts about puberty blockers.

Here are some facts about what age a person can get HRT.

Here are some facts about binding and also packing and tucking.

Here is more on binding specifically.

It is possible for a person to learn about these topics. It is also possible for people of the appropriate ages, in some cases kids depending on what we are talking about, for example puberty blockers, to give informed consent.
