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 …

*Androgynous. Meaning: Having characteristics of both sexes. Latin, derived from Greek. As in, ancient. As in, these ppl have been around forever w/out insisting they'll off themselves if they aren't infused with opposite-sex hormones and/or have body parts rejiggered or removed.pic.twitter.com/ySLqadb5aK

This is the grain of truth extremist trans activists misuse: YES gender benders have been around since forever. YES there are people who wish they were the opposite sex. NO history does not show there were mass suicides of such people because they couldn't survive in wrong bodies

And YES modern gender psychs/MDs medicalize YOUTH who claim to be "nonbinary." Lay the blame squarely on these professionals for turning these adolescents into angst-ridden cash cows, instead of helping them celebrate their uniqueness & develop resilience.https://4thwavenow.com/2017/08/04/no-menses-no-mustache-gender-doctor-touts-nonbinary-hormones-surgery-for-self-sacrificing-youth/ …

The children are leading us now? No, the adults are still actually in charge of the medical and psychological establishments. The buck stops with those adults--and they are directly responsible for the wave of regretful detransitioners we are seeing now. 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?noredirect=on …pic.twitter.com/Zj87RovaUw

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.
