Transgender man wins women's 100 yd and 400 yd freestyle races.

Absurdum argument that was the same argument against acknowledging the existence of gay children, and promoting gay conversion therapy. They believe in Santa so they can't know they are gay, etc.

I cannot. But my being no child psychologist doesn’t mean a) you are correct or b) that it should be banned by a knee jerk piece of legislative populism.

I appreciate that’s your opinion but even the whistleblower for the Tavistock case is a “never say never.”

for example what’s the youngest recorded puberty again, it was 2 years old.

there are other reasons, besides gender dysphoria even, to what falls under the umbrella of provide gender affirming care

Cara Dixon wasn't competing in any category. You are now showing you just want to exclude trans people from sport altogether.

Like claiming some offense to women has happened because a woman won a “race”

I think you'll find that 'most people' don't want to exclude transwomen from sport. They want them excluded from certain categories, i.e. female sports. And cards on the table, I'm one of those. I believe that transwomen shouldn't be allowed to take part in female sports. If they want to take place in male sports or have their own trans category, or in sports where there is no category, then fire away.

I don't know anything about the 4 year old or what their medical chart is. If they're intersex or experience a puberty starting at age 2, their 'informed consent' to puberty blockers might hardly be the issue. Nonetheless, that young person may experience all manner of difficulty later on in adolescence engaging in society, including in sports, especially if by condition of birth they present as the opposite gender.

You are also making serious assumptions. My assumption is that there are a far more diverse set of cases out there than the rhetoric would have you believe. That it's not a 4 year old simply being thrust onto hormone blockers because they play with more Barbies than GI Joes.

Gender affirming care can be as banal as referring to patient by their preferred pronouns.

No. You didn't read what I said.

No that's not a fair question, it frames it in a demagogic way. Professionals in the field of psychology and medicine are free to set the ethical boundaries for children who have gender dysphoria, but it is not enough to set a 'straight forward' yes or no on whether 'gender affirmation' is allowed to happen at age 4 or not, period. That doesn't account for intersex healthcare or precocious puberty. In the 2-year olds case he got a hold, incidentally, of their father's 'male-testosterone gel,' but a law on banning gender affirming care for minors could see that child SOL of seeing a doctor to reverse or mitigate their condition.
