[quote=Anonymous]23:19 - I understand that we both have very different perspectives and care deeply for our kids. I don't want to judge anyone else's parenting decisions. Just want to make sure people know that (1) professionals are ostracized when they question kids who think they are trans (2) WPATH does not allow for health dissent. Videotape evidence of their conference is available. (3) The explosion among youth defies logic (4) Most kids have underlying issues that cause the gender confusion, not the other way around (5) Detransition stories are becoming increasingly common. There are many instances of kids where the experts and parents were convinced they were trans, only to realize after lots of time (and body altering hormones) that this was not correct. Many of these kids have suppressed trauma, are gay, susceptible to social contagion, etc. My main point is that most therapists go along with the idea that if a kid thinks it's true, we must accept this and go along with whatever they want, even if it includes irreversible medical changes.

I will not begin to argue whether there are kids for whom this is medically or psychologically necessary. All I can say is that they are kids whose brains do not fully develop until they are in their mid-20s. I will leave it at that.[/quote]
