[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The story in the Post about the child in MS being forced to drive across state lines for testosterone shots was so sad. I wish you all would read or listen to it (they did a podcast of it)

The child had received at least a year of therapy before the shots were approved. I don’t have personal experience with hormone shots/medical transition, but this scenario seems reasonable to me. Therapy before taking the hormones makes sense to me.

Yes, do those with gender dysphoria have underlying mental health issues? Probably. But is that the chicken or the egg?

I’m not against teens receiving hormones as long as they have been cared for and assessed by mental health professionals.

The kid in the post article was withdrawn, depressed, nearly suicidal before the hormone treatments started. Total 180 once he received the treatments.

I beg all of you to put yourself in this mother’s shoes. The hormones have changed her child’s life for the better.

My son’s story is similar, except he has access to treatment. Once in a while I feel like when I share our journey, it helps someone understand why parents allow teens to transition medically. I really appreciate your thoughts and that you’re standing up for us even though you don’t know us.  [/quote]
