Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
I have to agree with Maher on this one.

Not a fan but he can be funny and have some common sense every once and a while.
The article is a quick 2 minute read and pretty entertaining.

I don’t understand parents who won’t let their nine-year-old walk to the corner without a helmet, an EpiPen, and a GPS tracker, and God forbid their lips touch dairy, but hormone blockers and genital surgery? Fine. Talk about a nut allergy. I guess penises are gross now, but one might come in handy later on.
And never forget children are impressionable and very, very stupid. Kids don’t know why mom drinks every day or why dad has two cell phones.
Maybe the boy who thinks he’s a girl is just gay, or whatever Frasier was.
Maybe the girl who hates 'girly stuff' just needs to learn that being female doesn’t mean you have to act like a Kardashian.
Maybe childhood makes you sad sometimes and there are other solutions besides hand me the dick saw.
And look, I’m sure the vast majority of parents do not take this lightly and that it’s very hard to know when something is real or just a phase and I understand being trans is different, it’s innate. But kids do also have phases. They’re kids. It’s all phases.
Genderfluid? Kids are fluid about everything. If kids knew what they wanted to be at age eight, the world would be filled with cowboys and princesses. I wanted to be a pirate, thank God nobody took me seriously and scheduled me for eye removal and peg leg surgery.
