No, there's nothing to be impressed about. I'm not a professional of any sort. I'm actually much younger than all that but let's not go into specifics because it's the content of what is said that matters and not the age of the chap saying it.
I was only drawing from my experience of a boy I know who was without doubt a trans when he was younger. But recently, he became strong and he's no longer a trans. If he had gone for a surgery, he'd regret it now. I'm not saying it will be the same for TaraJo and Violet but I just thought I should tell them this real-life example.
