See this essay:
A humanist framework grounded in reason, equality, and bodily autonomy holds that denying care based on gender identity is not only a practical failure, but an ethical breach. “To deny someone care… is not just unethical, it’s inhuman,” says ethicist Casey Ruhl.The essay favors transgender hormone and surgery treatments for minors.. . . This is where humanism can make a unique impact. Unlike traditional religions that may treat gender diversity as a moral debate, humanism begins from a different premise: that every individual has inherent worth, and that self-determination is not a privilege, but a right. “Humanism allows us to honor people without pretending to know them better than they know themselves,” says Elan, a queer humanist chaplain.
Update: Coyne notes that out of 17 atheist/humanist/freethought/secular/skeptic organizations, 16 are fully committed to pushing for LGBTQ+ rights as a fundamental stance in their fight against Christian nationalism, and one says:
CFI will continue to promote the separation of church and state, the rights of nonbelievers here and around the world, and the end of pseudoscience wherever it arises. And we strongly disagree with people or groups who think discussion is dangerous, biology is bigotry, and science is Christian nationalism in disguise.That's right, transgenderism is bad for reasons that have nothing to do with religion.
It is funny to see the supposed freethinkers succumb to Leftist ideological groupthink contrary to modern science.

We have come to the point where castrating children is 'affirming' because...gay rights?
Bullshit.
This kind of learned self loathing leading to popularized self harm needs to stop. There is nothing 'gender affirming' about cutting parts of a child's body off.
If the gay community (or anyone else) is going to get behind minors being mutilated, the gay community is going to learn first hand what happens to child molesters in prison.
