It needs to be said: more people outside the LGBTQ+ global community don't know what trans people, and particularly trans youth, have to face to get proper treatment in the first place. Skepticism has a valid place, but it's also important to remember that honest skepticism should allow that sometimes the concerns are misplaced - and that not only are there tangible benefits for some people, but knowing the qualifications for discovering those benefits shouldn't be the business of the general public, much like any other physical or mental ailment.
