It's one thing for youth to think "nonbinary" is new and unprecedented. (See: "gender bending," "andogynous", etc. etc..). Quite another for the fawning media to write story upon story glorifying it. What IS new: Medicalisation of gender defiance. https://www.thecut.com/2019/09/ask-polly-my-kid-is-nonbinary-and-i-cant-get-over-it.html …

The children are leading us now? No, the adults are still actually in charge of the medical and psychological establishments.

If clinicians like Ehrensaft & Olson-Kennedy (and many others) weren't green-lighting "a touch of testosterone" and/or "top surgery" for enbies and genderfluids, it would be just another adolescent trend, and responsible adults would recognize it as such.

Instead, "affirmative" gender clinicians are conducting a giant experiment on youth who THEMSELVES say their "gender identity" is fluid (and therefore subject to change). So how, exactly, can they justify irreversible interventions for this population?

Obviously, "top surgery" (double mastectomy, with all the risks major surgery entails) is irreversible. But they brush off effects of T if someone regrets/changes mind later, even though voice changes, hair growth, male-pattern balding, clitoral changes are permanent.
