They've been transing kids for a decade. Where are the success stories?
This "childhood transition" business took off in the mid-2010s. The first cohort of children who were exposed to Lupron for gender issues has reached adulthood. Yet we never hear Munchie parents bragging about how well their super special "sons" and "daughters" are doing in academic and professional life.
One would think that if any of them were thriving the trans lobby would praise them to the high heavens and make celebrities of them.

I think there are a lot of superficial "success stories", but if you dig a little deeper, it doesn't look so good, or it won't in the future. With people like Jazz Jennings and Kim Petras, their career prospects seem to be pretty much being Professionally Trans (that's also true for a lot of TiPs who trans as adults and end up become permanent e-beggars, content creators, or activists). Furthermore, many of them will suffer from health problems as they grow older, but we really don't know what that will fully entail for decades.

Good point, but the TRAs will just claim that “successful” transitioners are now living in stealth and nobody can tell they’re trans. “You’ve probably walked past thousands of trans people today and not noticed!”
You’d think some of the successful ones would be involved in the cause, though - every trans activist or famous trans person I’ve ever seen is instantly clockable. So if there are successful ones, they clearly want nothing to do with the moment today.

I mean... Nicole Maines and Clara Sorrenti are two, but you're right: they're not used as poster children, likely because if they're the standard of what trans males should look like, the AGPs will riot because they actually both pass pretty darn well.
And now that I think about it... The movement kind of relies on people not passing, because that's what allows the AGPs in bathrooms. No one is going to blink if Nicole or Clara goes in a women's restroom, and so the bathroom laws are moot. The AGPs need it to be acceptable/law for visible males to go in women's restrooms.
