Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

If everyone was supportive, I think it would be fine. It'd be seen like needing glasses. We just need this relatively easy medical care and it's far less effort if intervention is done before puberty.
Transitioning socially would be less of an issue too since it'd be seen as just something that happens sometimes and has been normalized.
Counterpoint: I need glasses and it kinda sucks. If I could just choose to be born with perfect eyesight, I would. And bad eyesight is generally much easier to diagnose and the treatment (either a prosthesis, i.e. glasses/contact lenses, or just getting lasik) is much faster than gender transitioning.
