10. Parents respond with anecdotes re: their nonbinary kids on hormones. What they say echos the remarks by Dr. Olson-Kennedy herself, discussed in tweets 3 & 4 above (in this thread). Gender Odyssey, another influential US group, is mentioned, along with the "rock star" MD.pic.twitter.com/YnO0O9CwNA
11. Dresses and heels with binders for some "afabs," the “genderbread person"-- and be sure to go to Gender Spectrum for more resources. Maybe try yoga, mama bear, to understand better.pic.twitter.com/YYdIOhXe3u
12. More 13 and 14 year olds on T, including one enby who wants to “present masculine but not too masculine,” and T is an important part of that. Still, one mother frets that she is still “questioning everything.”pic.twitter.com/tryoFTsOif
13. Again, we stress: These well-meaning parents are not out of the mainstream. A “touch of testosterone” is de rigeur nowadays, according to a story last year in the Washington Post. 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?sw_bypass=true&utm_term=.0bb8e8be6cf9 …pic.twitter.com/AdundMniIr
14. Of course, the Post article doesn't get into or raise questions about the increasingly younger "afabs" who are seeking these boutique treatments. (You would think the reporters might delve a bit more, but you'd be thinking wrong.)
15. Back to the leaked posts, a parent reports her ftm child wears a binder by day, and "the most beautiful" bra by night.pic.twitter.com/zufo6TYDbQ
16. It’s not just kids imbibing stuff on social media. Parents are also evidently relying on YouTube videos by nonbinary youth for guidance. “What a way to mess with a parent’s head…as they try to understand all genders.”pic.twitter.com/IiHs2xblK5
17. “It’s only confusing if we can’t give up the binary—right?” Why are the MSM evidently so uninterested in investigating the phenom of young "nonbinary" teens (too young to get a tattoo) being prescribed T by celebrity gender doctors? Many of the effects of T are irreversible.pic.twitter.com/mtCoQ4HpEo
It's paid for by the National Institutes of Health. @NIH
Ding ding ding. And if you look at studies of "long term effects" of blockers you will see similarly short follow up periods. Most under 2-3 years. And only looking at a few outcomes.
