[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]23:30 - I speak as a parent with first hand experience. My kid was pushed into hormone blockers by a dr who told me they were safe and would buy her some time to figure this out. THIS IS A LIE. They are NOT safe. Do your research before you make this statement. This is NOT my opinion. This is a fact that medical professionals are ignoring.

Don't believe me? Google "Lupron.' You can read about what it does to your body and the lawsuits that no one mentions. Start with this article:https://www.statnews.com/2017/02/02/lupron-puberty-children-health-problems/

By the way there has been explosive growth in gender clinics around the country. While transgenderism is rare in reality, there has been a surge in treating children medically for something that -- if left alone -- would turn out NOT to be transgender after all. But do these clinics turn away children with gender dysphoria and encourage parents to seek other help for their kids while they wait it out? No. They turn them into lifelong medical patients. Just read the stories on the links  listed in 17:27. These clinics are practicing very dangerous medicine and no one is sounding the alarm.[/quote]

Thank you for posting. I sympathize with what you and your child have gone through. Your side is one that is not easily heard, and is too often stifled or shouted down. It's sad, because this is something that has a lifelong effect on these vulnerable children.

People who haven't experienced this (either firsthand or as the parent of a questioning child) don't understand- yes, even qualified medical professionals/clinics are caught up in the hype. Proper thought and care isn't being given before beginning children on these medications- people who are hesitant to start are scared with distorted statistics of suicide rates.

Yes, there are people with sex dysphoria for whom transitioning is the best option. However, the number of people to whom this applies is very, very small. Among youth, it is even smaller. The true, underlying causes beneath the transgender identification of these youths is being neglected when transition is looked to as the cure.[/quote]
