2/ Dr. Olson-Kennedy suggests parents with "chest issues" themselves could wear a binder to empathize with their FTM kids in preparation for "top surgery."pic.twitter.com/u1FqDpa1bs

4/ Mosser, on the other hand, says such post-operative depression after genital surgery only happens with his adult patients--not the adolescents, because they have more support; they are "doted on" [presumably by parents].pic.twitter.com/RVEoDisn2P

6/ Olson-Kennedy has been saying this for years: Do the surgeries while they're still in high school, with parents to oversee postoperative care. Actually, many US gender doctors appear to be in favor of high school SRS, including Stanford's Tandy Aye.https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1119986369890271236 …
4thWaveNow added,
4thWaveNow @4th_WaveNow9. ...Let high school kids have SRS so parents can help oversee aftercare, to "prevent corrective surgeries later" and help with the "exercises" (aka neovaginal dilation). The implication? They're too young to handle all of this on their own (but not too young to consent to SRS). pic.twitter.com/dsPEMe9jtiShow this thread2 replies 5 retweets 18 likesShow this thread -
7/ Don't miss the segment where Dr. Mosser exhorts providers to "follow the dysphoria" when recommending or performing surgeries. His example: A natal male who was "thrilled" with vaginoplasty, but then...pic.twitter.com/FJDZfUaCBS

8/ The MTF patient was on estrogen & became dysphoric about the "chest tissue" that resulted from the cross-hormone treatment, so then had a mastectomy. Mosser calls this "extremely insightful emotional intelligence" for electing a "FTM-analog" mastectomy after the vaginoplasty.pic.twitter.com/GSdk8x6qIr

9/ "Not to make it any more complex than it is, but follow the dysphoria, follow the dysphoria, follow the dysphoria"....evidently, wherever it leads. The transgender surgeon's mantra?pic.twitter.com/3638bnHDs8
