I would like to add that there is no such thing as a 'transgender child'. More than 90% of these children, if supported on their journey of self-understanding and self-acceptance, will pass through puberty and no longer experience gender dysphoria. Further, about 80% of them will be gay or lesbian.

So in truth 'transgenderism' is current-day lobotomy for children who feel they don't fit in, only it's worse than lobotomy: For those who go whole hog on the medical interventions available, they're looking at in excess of $1M in medical expenses over a lifetime -- a lifetime that will be foreshortened and of poor quality due to these very treatments.
Lastly, I find it incredibly cruel to lie to children about being able to change their sex, which is impossible. It's up to adults to help them come to terms with their sex, not lie to them about being able to change it.
I know two people who transitioned. They did it slowly, and under the medical suggestions that were in place before this horrible vilification took place.
They are two people who have gone on to live their lives, with families, just like the rest of us.
Please be careful to clearly separate the abuse of hormone blockers on young children with transitioning by adults. There is a difference.
This agenda, by the same folk who bring every devisive agenda, has so upset and disappointed me.
The insults and mean comments over the past two years bring me to nearly stopping reading any independent news anymore.
I would have thought that people who recognized the covid agenda would recognize yet another ploy to scapegoat a group.
What happened to freedom of choice?
Transitioned people are not out "grooming". They are not trying to compete in the Olympics.
How can people not recognize that all this hoopla about trans erupted with BLM, Ukraine, Palestine, Maui, East Palestine, Immigration, Trump litigation, Hunter Biden. My God, the hate just keeps on spewing.
Hoopla was stewing over 10 years ago, people like Abigail Shrier, Jennifer Bilek & Helen Joyce started noticing something different going on. Tavistock was rampant at the time (now shuttered). JK Rowling was cancelled long before COVID & BLM. Michigan Women's Music Festival was invaded by trans women (ugly scene) circa 2012, and shut it down by 2015. The new hoopla is the commercialisation of the process.
People are starting to notice medical harm. This does not take away from your friends, or mine. (though I do worry for "his" ovaries & bones)
I witnessed the beginning of the trans controversy at MWMF and it was much earlier than that! It was certainly underway by the late 1990s. My last year going was 2005 or 06 because I lived far away and had a son who wouldnтАЩt be allowed on the main festival space once he turned 4. But I was extremely sad to hear it had closed down. All of the recent issues arising around transgenders has certainly reminded me of what a destructive force it was with Festival.
My figure comes from Scott Newgent, a Texas lesbian who 'transitioned' as an adult as she was told she must be a man since she loved women. She completely regrets what she has put her body, and her children, through. It's from her that I learned not only of the expenses involved, but the damages to one's health. Here's her website: https://www.transregretters.com/
If I could have chosen as a child, I would have transitioned into a Cowboy. That was hard wired, it was what I was "gonna be when I grew up," and - by golly, that's what I was. For maybe 2 whole years. (I am female). My parents played along, and got me the gear & clothing and a hobby horse and spurs and a pop gun. When we moved house, and I went to school, the Cowboy turned into a little scholar who loved school & learning...
Thank you so much for writing about this.

Thank you too. I am really curious what the total costs of their medical expenses are (since many of the estimates are theoretical).

Live and let live.

Good thing it was the 60's.
