If adult trans people cared about trans youth as much as they claim, they'd do everything in their power to warn them of the dangers of things like phalloplasty. They'd stop making desistance a dirty word. They'd CELEBRATE when a trans-ID'ed youth found peace in their own skin.

Stop screaming "transphobia!" &"cissexism!" when hazards of medical transition are discussed. If being trans is no longer a mental health disorder, mentally healthy trans youth should get a fighting chance at resolving dysphoria without being chained to drugs & drastic surgeries.

You won't find any other patient population who undergo high-risk (and poorly tested) medical interventions who go on to advocate for--of all people--minors to undergo these procedures, which permanently sterilize and expose patients to many risks.

Watch this video. Top US gender therapist claims the only reason a parent might want to postpone sterilizing their kids is a selfish wish for grandparents. And that trans kids are exceptionally mature. You can't make it up. https://vimeo.com/185178522

*grandchildren. Selfish wish for grandchildren. Ehrensaft can't conceive of the fact that parents actually just want their kids to be able to grow up, so they can make the ADULT decision whether to reproduce or not. That used to be common sense, but no more in @TransOrwellLand

Imagine even 20 years ago that someone told you this: In 2019, developmental psychologists & pediatricians won't just tolerate, but will advise parents it's a good idea to let their middle schoolers be irreversibly sterilized because they wish they were the opposite sex.

Imagine a Stanford pediatrician talking like this, even 20 years ago. It's inconceivable.https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1119978084499894272 …
