Not going to pretend like I’m a scientist, but I think critically examining research is crucial to understanding ROGD, what transgender is being defined as, the correlation to transsexualism, and what we need to do about all of it.

Do you have any advice for parents with ROGD teens/young adults? Sounds like there is nothing we can say or do to get our kids to snap out of this "trans trance"- a conviction that they've always felt trans just did know the word, and now are ready to self-actualize via drugs?

I don’t have any concrete advice as of yet but I’m working on it! What helped my parents was me coming to my own conclusions that this wasn’t right, and making it up to them. Maybe sharing neutral, informational sources with your child that challenge gender ID is a good start?

Do you have any advice on what NOT to do? To us parents this whole issue is so black and white (you can't be a boy even if you want) , we are dumbfounded that our kids can't see it as clearly as we do. So I think we end up making mistakes and alienating them with our attempts

I think since trans ideology can be so cult-like, it’s important to ground your kid in the fact that you love them & only want the best through reassurance. Maybe asking questions like, “aside from our conversations on your gender, what do I do for you that makes you feel loved?”

Your responses to parents are so kind. Many look to detransitioners/desisters for insights unique to the experience of ID'ing (temporarily) as trans. Thanks for recognizing how much so many parents love their kids, while not wanting to approve irreversible medical interventions.
