[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the parent of a trans teen and have posted on these boards before. Won’t even address most of what has been said. I will say that the idea that this is somehow profit driven is crazy.  The hormones are generic and cheap so no profit there.  Health insurance won’t pay for surgery until after age 18 and there are not many surgeons in the us doing it.  Not sure who you think is getting rich and how they would be causing what you say is a widespread trend. My experience is that being a trans teen is rare and that those who come out as teens are very definite about it. [/quote]

I am also the parent of a teen who thinks she is trans and you are absolutely wrong. And there was a time when I supported my daughter in her transition. But then I did a little research and I realized what a scandal this is. She is not transgender after all. She is confused and went to a school where this was very popular.

You are absolutely wrong about the money. This is absolutely profit-driven, as are many things in medicine. Testosterone is a multi-billion dollar business. Google the scandal about how men are made to think they need testosterone for normal aging issues. There have been thousands of lawsuits because this caused stroke, heart attacks and death. This have been - and still is - a big money maker. They are giving T to girls for pretty much their whole lives! Google Lupron. https://www.hormonesmatter.com/lupron-money-trail/

This the puberty blocker prescribed to children. Two years of treatment is about $40,000.

In about ten years time, we went from no pediatric gender clinics to almost 50. This is big business. The waiting lists are very long.

Surgeries are also very lucrative.

I would also question whether your kid is really trans. Don't you think it strange that this is an epidemic now? Have you heard of what's happening in the UK. They are calling for an investigation because there's been a 4000% increase in girls going to gender clinics in the past eight years! This number alone should make every parent of a kid who thinks they are transgender start to question this.

We don't see a 4000% increase in middle-aged women thinking they are men. This is an identity crisis. It's like eating disorder in the 1980s. A socially contagious idea. Except now, we have "experts" telling parents they need to support their kids' transition and give them hormones or puberty blockers or they will commit suicide.
