1. THREAD: Under-18 SRS. In posts provided by our source in the affirmative FB group, parents claim young teens are undergoing “bottom” surgery & early cross-sex hormones with (according to the posts) the approval of Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

6. It’s “awesome” that insurance is covering the surgery. Therapist didn’t know much about gender, more interested in trauma and attachment issues. “Blockers by 11, cross hormones by 13, surgery by 15—that’s progress.”pic.twitter.com/lCw9m0Vfpk

7. There’s a substantial, enthusiastic market for these services. Again, we want to emphasize: These parents are merely following the advice and recommendations of licensed professionals. If gender docs/psychs weren’t on board with this, would parents be?pic.twitter.com/cHh2YLo08f

These types of thread have a horrible fascination in as much as the participants tend to show inappropriate levels of emotional arousal This should set alarm bells ringing with any mental health professional or clinician worthy of the name

Everything else aside. How smart is it to perform surgery like this on someone who is only 15 and likely still growing. This is not a natural body part that will grow with the rest of the body?
