1/ You miss the point. Mothers aren't "diagnosing" (scare quotes noted); they're **observing** a kid (whom they know rather well) suddenly change from a happy person to one hellbent on T & top surgery. We also observe clinicians endorsing this desire in 1 or 2 visits.https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/1082096327000055808 …

6/ A therapist you frequently quote said this about the current state of affirmative care. Perhaps because you, Jesse, have not had the experience of a therapist immediately endorsing your child's wish to irreversibly alter themselves you lack a certain insight into the issue.pic.twitter.com/B39W3aZm84

7/ If you keep writing on this topic, maybe seek out a therapist like Lane Anderson (who wrote the piece linked above) & ask her why she left a beloved job because of the immense pressure to simply affirm & and not delve. You seriously underestimate the magnitude of the problem.pic.twitter.com/9xNKaVeQ5L
