And I don't mean things you previously had no strong opinion about.

What is a belief you used to hold that you no longer do, and what/who made you change your mind about it?

You don't just hop on a table and transition on a whim. It's a very long and complex process that requires many professionals to sign off.

I know and that's how it should be. Not everyone agrees with that however and it's those fringe people I take issue with. I was a stupid kid and I don't want adults to just take my word for it when when I want to make radical life changing decisions.

I think the general argument is that it can be too difficult and painful a process. Almost like it's intentionally trying to stop people seeking help with it.

I haven't seen anyone I'd take seriously saying it should be doable on a whim.

I have seen plenty of right wing groups claiming these people are everywhere though.
