Re: So?

"So what's wrong with keeping children away from trans-activist sites? Or any other body dysmorphia activist sites such as pro-anorexia sites?"

Being transgender is not body dysmorphia. About 30 years ago, the health insurance system in Germany had to decide about who pays for treating transgender people, and how to do it. And their result was quite clear: 1. It is a medical problem. 2. There is nothing wrong with the mind, what's wrong is the body. 3. Therefore, people have the right to have the correct medical treatment and to have it paid for by their health insurance, and the correct medical treatment is gender reassignment.

With anorexia, the anorexia itself is a medical problem. And it is a problem of the mind, not the body. Therefore, pro-anorexia sites do NOT help the patient but cause them harm.
