just say i don’t know enough to have an opinion on this

It would be so nice if people could do this.

Also admit that they were misinformed or that they need a moment to think about what you've presented. Sometimes it seems like we expect everyone to have an immediate iron clad opinion.

    Is it really that hard? I mean, if the doctor used to follow a given kid say that this specific kid needs a specific treatment, is it so hard to think that doctor could be right? Even when we aren't doctors and do not know the kid?

    Even if it should be for something we think usually bad. I guess we agree that cutting a kid's arm is bad, yet some need the amputation for medical reasons, and we would call monsters those who would dare protest and request to let the kid die rather than being amputed.

    But so how can it be that if it is for trans related thing we would allow ourself to have an opinion that kid should not have access to the medical care they need? At most, may we could be furious at the crual Nature... but neither at the kid nor at those helping them.
