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.

That's strange given your previous complaints that the medical community "preyed" on your child. Is this doctor not part of that community?

I don’t remember stating that the whole entire medical community preyed on my child. Again, group think from leftists.

There was recently an oncologist who diagnosed patients with cancer they never had, so he could administer and charge them for chemo. Do you believe all oncologists should be punished or just this one? How about all doctors?

Here is what you wrote, "What's cruel is the medical community and trans community preying on him". That was in your first post in this thread.

This poster has been posting repeatedly about her child. Her lack of support for the child is very clear. Rather than being supportive, she blames her child's mental health, "activists", doctors, therapists, and "the left". I suppose she could be correct about all of that, but I have my doubts.

DP. Sounds to me like a parent having a hard time who needs someone to talk to and thought maybe a parenting message board might be the place.

I’m not Jeff, but get real. The poster isn’t looking for someone to “talk to” unless the person agrees with her.

And the kid’s “pre-existing mental illness,” while tragic and sad, is a red herring. There are plenty of cisgendered people with mental illness, yet no one is saying that they identify as such because they’re mentally ill.

It seems that you—and others here—aren’t, either. I get it. Not the place for this topic. But I feel for parents trying to navigate this. Not sorry.

If you’re expecting clear thinking people to do anything other than encourage a poster to support and accept their child for who they are rather than try and change them into something they insist they are not then, yea, you’ve come to the wrong website.

I, for one, think that is the wrong approach. If this poster is typical of many parents in this situation, she is aware and alarmed that medical professionals are actively encouraging the child in this identity.

And very quickly. For those that believe there is a wait period, they are sadly misinformed.

Jeff, I just wanted to swing by to thank you for aggressively curating the LGBTQ+ forum. Even though the anonymous format brings a lot of vitriol (and vitriol couched as concern trolling), in really appreciate knowing that reports of transphobia will be considered and taken seriously.

Thank you for the positive feedback. Sadly, it's not just the LGBTQ+ forum but many forums are inundated with discussions about trans issues and all of them seem to go off the wall. It's a really sad situation.

So you took that as the entire medical community? Are you always that absolute?

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.

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.

This is a board certified psychiatrist, practicing in the DC area?

Yes, because the medical and therapeutic community tell their children the lie that they can change their sex and that will solve all their problems. These are often neurodivergent kids with black and white thinking who are led to believe that their social issues are due having been transgender all along. Or kids, especially girls, who been sexually abused and see changing their bodies as a way to escape that abuse. The affirmation-only model is not support and love, it is the exact opposite.

I’m a DP, not the parent with the trans child. And I’m not sure what is your point about the psychiatrist. What are you trying to say there?
