Notes

• 2019-04-22 Thinking back to when I was a little kid, they sure do start the trans indocrination early... "So when transphobes rant and rave to you about "indoctrinating our children and forcing them to take hormones", remember that, while this does happen, it's not because of trans people, and it's not done because kids say they're trans - quite the opposite. OP is right in a completely non circlejerk way: they (cis people and a cis-centric medical system) do start gender indoctrination young :)"
