There's been a lot of talk about the UK organization Mermaids. But the US equivalent is Gender Spectrum, which if anything has even more influence on policy in the US (including conferences, school policy, and more). Zero coverage of this org outside our website (so far).https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1096132516187000832 …

"A touch of testosterone" for a nonbinary identity. "The children are leading us....I'm a boy-girl, I'm everything," enthuses Diane Ehrensaft, Director of Mental Health at UCSF's youth gender clinic (and member of Gender Spectrum's board of directors). https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/when-kids-come-in-saying-they-are-transgender-or-no-gender-these-doctors-try-to-help/2018/01/19/f635e5fa-dac0-11e7-a841-2066faf731ef_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.b8b348e8c6b0 …pic.twitter.com/GX9WhfASNu

"Doing a presentation for some early childhood educators." Because early childhood teachers need Gender Spectrum to tell them what's what.

A disturbing watch. These people have no business counseling parents or being anywhere near kids.

Yes, that lecture was one of the most deranged things I have ever witnessed.
