Every trans-related thread here ultimately goes the same way. It's just too much effort to try to keep the threads civil.

My kid has identified as trans. He most definitely has mental health issues, diagnosed well before. OCD and on the spectrum. What's cruel is the medical community and trans community preying on him, determined to separate him from a family who has always been his advocate.

Yes, you have been repeating this non-stop. It is very clear that you are not willing to accept your child's trans identity and prefer to view them as mentally ill and a victim of groomers. That is not a healthy attitude and, as you are seeing, the results are not good. I hope that your child will find love and support from those who truly are their advocate.

Jeff do you honestly believe that you know more about this posters situation and family, than she herself does?

Yes he does. That’s the arrogance of leftism. He also thinks he knows more than an MD, apparently

Did a MD diagnose your child as not trans?

Also, for the sake of clarification, could you clarify whether the child we are discussing is a pre-teen, a teen, or a young adult?

Yes, the MD did indeed.

The MD diagnosed your kid as “not transgender”?

There is no formal diagnosis, like you can get with cancer. That’s the problem. The psychiatrist stated that true transgenderism expresses itself so early in childhood that it can’t be hidden, and oftentimes, they find those people are gay as adults, which is just fine. The idea of being in the wrong body never presented itself in my kid until it became a ‘thing’ in the schools and on the internet. It’s very ‘popular’ with neurodivergent kids and kids with OCD, because you get an automatic support team, often from the same kids that bullied you. Very powerful. Psych. said the problem is the blind positive reinforcement kids are being given by some of the medical community and therapists. Say you are trans and you are trans. It’s one thing entertaining an idea. It’s another thing when the medical community adds drugs and surgery early on in the game. My kid showed all signs of OCD thinking to the psychiatrist when discussing transgender feelings, and could not tell why without constant reference to internet memes, sites, politics, etc. It was a “I just realized this is probably why I….”

As you will notice in this thread, transgender activists go right to name and shame of parents. They know nothing about the individual child’s background, nothing about the family, nothing about the child’s medical history. This is by design. If you can pull the child from the nuclear family and into their ‘supportive arms’, it serves a double purpose: a new member of the team and the destruction of the nuclear family. At the same time, make sure you batter the parent with ‘your child will kill themselves if you don’t affirm’, because by doing so, you can potentially get three new members, or more, in the case of a blended family! It’s not about the individual child’s needs - it’s about the movement. Even the most liberal studies show true transgenderism is between .5 and .8% of the population. We are seeing conversions now in droves.

My mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's. Did you know there is also no test for Parkinson's? You know it through a collection of symptoms and observable things.

I'm curious how your child's OCD was diagnosed, too. Probably in the same way.

Was your mother diagnosed as transgender as a cause for her Parkinsons? Curious

No one is diagnosed as trans since it's not a mental illness or a disorder. People identify as trans and you just have to believe them. Why is that so hard to comprehend?

Giving medication to, and surgery to, kids and people who just identify as something is scary stuff. If someone identifies as a blind person, should the surgeon take out their eyes?

Why is it scary?

Do you believe a surgeon should surgically blind a man because he identifies as blind?

So you don’t think transgenderism is a real thing. Got it.

I (and many others) draw the line at impressionable children being involved where they do not have the maturity to make life changing decisions that transgenderism may involve.
As for adults, they deserve to have the rights to do whatever they desire with their bodies.

Not everyone agrees with your statement.
Why is that so hard to comprehend?

Which part dear? That it's not a disorder/mental illness or that you should believe your children? or both?

So you only partially believe the medical community when they tell you that your child has a diagnosable OCD/ASD but not when they tell you that transgenderism is neither? I mean the inconsistencies in your statements are astounding. You either trust the doctors or you don't. You want to pick and choose what is diagnosable in your child and what is not.

I am a different poster and sorry, I don't respond to condensending "dear".
It says so much about your inability to respectfully consider another's opinion.

I consider all of the opinions worth considering. Your lack of ability to come back with a cogent answer instead of insults is just further proof your opinion is irrelevant.

I've never insulted you.

Gender dysphoria had been treated as a mental illness. Makes sense to me. Not sure how the current DSM treats it but would not be surprised in the least if it has changed course. Politics is invading science.

Just curious: for people who believe that they have multiple different personalities, should we treat them as distinct individuals? Seems like we are heading down that path where we erase or severely modify the definitions of multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia.

But what do you mean by impressionable children being involved? There are threads on DCUM about opting out of even being exposed to books that address transgenderism. Should we shield them from knowing that trans people exists in this world? Or do you mean children are getting life altering surgeries which is 100% not true.

I think some people truly believe that they are not of the body they were born to. I do not think that transforms them into their desired sex/gender. But, apparently you cannot use reason or logic on this thread to have a discussion. If you challenge these statements, they get taken down or you get called a bigot. Absurd.

Every trans-related thread here ultimately goes the same way. It's just too much effort to try to keep the threads civil.

My kid has identified as trans. He most definitely has mental health issues, diagnosed well before. OCD and on the spectrum. What's cruel is the medical community and trans community preying on him, determined to separate him from a family who has always been his advocate.

Yes, you have been repeating this non-stop. It is very clear that you are not willing to accept your child's trans identity and prefer to view them as mentally ill and a victim of groomers. That is not a healthy attitude and, as you are seeing, the results are not good. I hope that your child will find love and support from those who truly are their advocate.

Jeff do you honestly believe that you know more about this posters situation and family, than she herself does?

Yes he does. That’s the arrogance of leftism. He also thinks he knows more than an MD, apparently

Did a MD diagnose your child as not trans?

Also, for the sake of clarification, could you clarify whether the child we are discussing is a pre-teen, a teen, or a young adult?

Yes, the MD did indeed.

The MD diagnosed your kid as “not transgender”?

There is no formal diagnosis, like you can get with cancer. That’s the problem. The psychiatrist stated that true transgenderism expresses itself so early in childhood that it can’t be hidden, and oftentimes, they find those people are gay as adults, which is just fine. The idea of being in the wrong body never presented itself in my kid until it became a ‘thing’ in the schools and on the internet. It’s very ‘popular’ with neurodivergent kids and kids with OCD, because you get an automatic support team, often from the same kids that bullied you. Very powerful. Psych. said the problem is the blind positive reinforcement kids are being given by some of the medical community and therapists. Say you are trans and you are trans. It’s one thing entertaining an idea. It’s another thing when the medical community adds drugs and surgery early on in the game. My kid showed all signs of OCD thinking to the psychiatrist when discussing transgender feelings, and could not tell why without constant reference to internet memes, sites, politics, etc. It was a “I just realized this is probably why I….”

As you will notice in this thread, transgender activists go right to name and shame of parents. They know nothing about the individual child’s background, nothing about the family, nothing about the child’s medical history. This is by design. If you can pull the child from the nuclear family and into their ‘supportive arms’, it serves a double purpose: a new member of the team and the destruction of the nuclear family. At the same time, make sure you batter the parent with ‘your child will kill themselves if you don’t affirm’, because by doing so, you can potentially get three new members, or more, in the case of a blended family! It’s not about the individual child’s needs - it’s about the movement. Even the most liberal studies show true transgenderism is between .5 and .8% of the population. We are seeing conversions now in droves.

My mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's. Did you know there is also no test for Parkinson's? You know it through a collection of symptoms and observable things.

I'm curious how your child's OCD was diagnosed, too. Probably in the same way.

Was your mother diagnosed as transgender as a cause for her Parkinsons? Curious

No one is diagnosed as trans since it's not a mental illness or a disorder. People identify as trans and you just have to believe them. Why is that so hard to comprehend?

Giving medication to, and surgery to, kids and people who just identify as something is scary stuff. If someone identifies as a blind person, should the surgeon take out their eyes?

Why is it scary?

Do you believe a surgeon should surgically blind a man because he identifies as blind?

So you don’t think transgenderism is a real thing. Got it.

I (and many others) draw the line at impressionable children being involved where they do not have the maturity to make life changing decisions that transgenderism may involve.
As for adults, they deserve to have the rights to do whatever they desire with their bodies.

But what do you mean by impressionable children being involved? There are threads on DCUM about opting out of even being exposed to books that address transgenderism. Should we shield them from knowing that trans people exists in this world? Or do you mean children are getting life altering surgeries which is 100% not true.

The latter. It is true. An easy search will document. The Children's Hospital of Richmond/ VCU is but one example.

I am bothered by the disgusted way that several posters are discussing mental illness. As a parent of a child with mental illness (who happens not to be trans), I am very bothered by how the trans community treats "mental illness" like a dirty word.

We have so far to go in how we discuss and treat people with mental illness. They are not broken any more than trans people are. But you all talk about them like it's the worst thing in the world to be labeled as such.

So much for tolerance.

As someone who has suffered from mental illness who now has a child who also suffers from mental illness, I think you are unnecessarily defensive. I don't think anyone (on this thread at least, though I've seen plenty of hate for the mentally ill on DCUM over the years) has said anything overtly hateful towards those with mental illness.

I do have to point out though that it is an illness and we treat it as such with medication and therapy. I did at times feel broken and quite sick and that's very different than being trans I imagine.

Just curious: for people who believe that they have multiple different personalities, should we treat them as distinct individuals? Seems like we are heading down that path where we erase or severely modify the definitions of multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia.

Drivel like yours is so tedious.

DP. In other words, you can't think of any way to debate the pp's comments. If you had a rebuttal, this would be the time and place for it.

Name the psychiatrist who is treating your child. You can do that without losing your anonymity. I’m very interested in learning more about their background and experience. I’m sure others would be as well. Feeling as strongly as you do about this, you should have no problem sharing their name.

So the woke police can harrass, protest, bomb-threat? Nope

As I suspected. There either is no such psychiatrist or the psychiatrist in question is a quack who you are too embarrassed to identify.

I rest my case.

Don't ever enter law

I think it's very telling that you think trans people are maiming themselves by taking hormones or removing their breasts. I see now why you are so scared. You don't view them as a complete person if they undergo a change.

Answer the question.
