4thWaveNow founder tweeting here today. When my daughter believed she was a man, I sought (like many parents do) detransitioners for wisdom. Their main message to me: We can't "fix" it. We don't have all the answers. Focus on/expose MDs & therapists who let this happen to us.https://twitter.com/turnthetide2018/status/1148241936404365312 …

It's not necessary to demonize affirmative gender specialist to call them to account. They aren't ogres. Med-psych professionals have gone down the wrong road many times in history--not because they were awful people, but because they lost perspective; developed tunnel vision.

A lot of these providers are caught up in the exhilarating sweep of identity politics, just like their young clients (& their parents). The Internet/social media has turbocharged this historical moment, & a particular group of extremist trans activists have seized the narrative.

Feminists have been talking for years about the deleterious impact extreme trans activism has had on women. In more recent years, child/teen adult transition (formerly rare) has impacted family members who are starting to wake up and push back. A groundswell is building.

There are reasonable trans-ID'ed ppl; some are activists. They don't believe "trans women are women"; don't push for kid transition. While some of us have problems w/ very concept of sex change, these more reasonable ppl aren't going to vanish. Is it worth finding common ground?

I appreciate everything you do and have the greatest admiration for you. I agree that many drs believe they are right. But I don’t believe that it can ever be right to offer SRS/mastectomies/hormones to under 25s. We’ve seen too many cases of regret. It should be a last resort.

You got that right!

I need help understanding, "In some cases, they are". Do you believe that a child or young adult should ever be physically transitioned (cross sex hormones and surgery) Because most parents don't want this that are on your blog. Don't block us from saying so. We are done.
