      Some parents reach out to detransitioners for help w/their kids, but it's not their job (or their expertise). Also not every detransitioner is a regretter. And many detrans are young themselves, with a lot on their plates. Not meant to scold; just speaking from experience.https://twitter.com/lacroicsz/status/1168277972660473858 …

      I’m sorry y’all, I don’t feel comfortable answering specific questions about anyone’s trans identifying child or how to lead them to desist or detransition. I’m not a therapist and there’s no way to know how to interpret others very complex emotional landscape w/o knowing them

      Even if a detransitioner is gracious enough to try to help, their advice will naturally be filtered through the lens of their experience w/their own parents (& talking to you may "trigger" memories/feelings). Not a recipe for objectivity, & may just cause more pain for everyone.

      Many detransitioners are writing, making videos, & speaking out on social media. There's plenty to learn from their experiences without asking them to be unpaid counselors. Here's an excellent new article by a detransitioner, w/plenty on family dynamics. https://medium.com/@lukaswarrior/medical-transition-is-not-the-answer-47e30650cf94 …

          Parents want an answer, a formula, a set of bullet points. But it's never one-size-fits-all. The waiting can feel intolerable, but it's unavoidable, existential. Ultimately the decision will be made by the young person themselves--hopefully w/a dash of parental wisdom in the mix.

          I did this with my daughter, it was harder than I expected (social roles are so pervasive) but I think it helped. I pushed for delay on the irreversible stuff and I'm hoping she will reconsider. #ROGDparent
