A reminder that no matter how loud anti-trans activists might yell the majority of credible medical orgs strongly support the affirming model of care for trans kids. Why? Because statistics show rates of well-being go up & rates of self-harm go down when we support trans youth.

Yes. Counter the meme that the only way to support is social/medical transition. It's simply untrue, and demonizes parents who love/support their gender-atypical child but don't endorse tampering with healthy bodies (in the US, social transition leads nearly always to medical).

And is the Amsterdam group (who pioneered the use of puberty blockers with trans-identified kids) "credible"? Because this study they did in 2015 says there is "no consensus" on affirmative treatment.pic.twitter.com/IOH07cU0nC

Same study. Clinicians speak of problems with pubertal blockade, and the influence of social contagion. Activists need to stop spreading the untruth that affirmative care is universally accepted.pic.twitter.com/Uo1WK0pd8M
