It's easy to vilify parents who usher their kids down the transition road (sometimes from toddlerhood). But the real responsibility lies with the clinicians, who terrorize them with misused suicidality stats and then encourage them to believe their children's bodies are wrong.

To be fair, the clinicians shouldn't be vilified either. They sincerely believe they're doing the right thing. It's just that they have tunnel vision, & once they become celebrities, the tunnel narrows further--as happens with all messianic leaders of cult-like movements. Power.

Less sympathy is due the mainstream media, which continue to turn a blind eye to the problems w/runaway trans activism. They promote "suicide or transition" w/ every puff piece, refuse to cover the other side--though some journos try, only to see their stories spiked.
