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.

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 harass, protest, bomb-threat? Nope

If you're concerned about the "woke police" then the doctor must be a quack or anti-trans. Is it the women who has been mentioned on here before?

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.

Stop avoiding the question. Name the psychiatrist.

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?

NP, and I have a trans child (who is trans and is supported, wasn’t preyed upon or tricked into transitioning). I think, and forgive me if I’m wrong, that the PP’s point was that a poster whose child says they’re trans and opposes that also says that a psychiatrist says that being trans can’t be hidden and always presents at a young age. I mean, if it couldn’t be hidden, we wouldn’t need coming out revelations. If it couldn’t be hidden, no one would be closeted. If it couldn’t be hidden, people wouldn’t transition as adults because they wouldn’t be able to hide it and wait that long.

And that is a load of BS. It could be that the PP with the possibility trans kid is misunderstanding what the doctor said. Could be that the doctor is a quack. (My own mother is a transphobic mental health care provider who worked in an ER setting before retiring. I can’t imagine the damage she did if any suicidal trans patients came in.) Could be that PP made up the whole thing. So I’m guessing the PP who asked for the name of the doctor wants to Google the doctor and see if they exist, if they run a pray away the gay/trans workshop, or if they seem normal. Giving the doctor’s name wouldn’t out the PP or their child, but it would’ve given them a bit of credibility. Now it’s a whole thing and I wouldn’t find a post naming specific doctors to be credible. If she’d just answered any of the questions people ask, I think other posters would have been more supportive.

That said, I don’t think anyone has an obligation to name any of their doctors. I just don’t think it’s a big secret. It’s not like you’re sharing your medical record number. I’ve mentioned specific doctors who’ve treated my son, especially when one was named in a lawsuit that was posted about on one of the trans threads what went off the rails. Someone transitioned back to their assigned at birth gender after pushing hard for treatment then blamed the doctor for encouraging them to transition- it’s exactly the opposite of our experience with that specific doctor and clinic as a whole. Having been on this journey with my child for so many years now, I really feel like a lot of people are full of crap when they talk about the trickery and coercion happening to make kids transition.

Exactly. That's why people are asking the PP about the doctor. Because that possible comment sounds sus.

Did and MD tell her that the child is trans due to mental illness. If anything, the only professional she referenced suggested that her child put some space between them and the parent. That should tell you something.

I’m the parent and that never happened. The trans community encourages a split between parent and children.

Which Jeff demonstrated at 13:42 "I hope that your child will find love and support from those who truly are their advocate."

That is how it starts: your parents don't really love you and accept you, but we do.

When you keep insisting that they aren't really trans and that they are just mentally ill and trans due to their OCD, it's hard to see the love.

I just want to add, that of course some parents and other relatives are thrown if a kid is trans. My niece is trans, and my parents are still struggling with it. I think they would love to have a community to talk to about their anxieties, concerns, questions, all of it. But the thing is that underlying all of it is love for this kid, and wanting her to be safe and to know she is loved and supported no matter what.

It sounds like OP doesn't bring any love, compassion, or good faith to this conversation. She's angry, hostile, lashing out at EVERYONE - and what is there to engage with? She's hostile and getting hostility in return. It;s hard enough being a teenager without your parent behaving and speaking like this.

Are you basing that on posts in this thread or something else? I haven’t seen anything like that at all from that parent in this thread (and I don’t think she’s not the OP, btw)

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?

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 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.

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?

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.

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.

Like you ever considered the pp's opinion to be relevant in the first place.

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.

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.
