Elizabeth Warren promised this kid at a townhall that she'd ask a trans kid to advise her on policies. The rash of bills pushed by socially conservative legislatures aiming to ban peds transition & jail doctors have supercharged MSM trans-kid narrative.https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/it-s-just-how-you-really-are-inside-9-year-n1136101 …

Jacob's mom will fight like hell against legislation she believes will take away her kid's healthcare or jail her kid's doctor. A bunch of legislators screaming "child abuse!" is no match for a mother (w/ her child by her side) backed by all US major medical orgs & the ACLU.

They're also no match for someone like Nicole Maines, now an adult actor and activist, who underwent early medical transition. Deal with the reality on the ground.. What's realistic: Advocate to reduce "false positives," better assessment, change affirm-only guidelines.pic.twitter.com/ZWrlABp2Sh

School programs on LGBT identities may offer an entre to acknowledging this issue. These are already producing accounts of exactly this problem - unqualified staff promoting diagnoses & kids misunderstanding 'gender identity'. So there's a need for review and improvement.

That's the middle way, yes.This can't be compared to med scandals where everyone WAS a victim: Ppl whose mothers took DES, Tuskegee prisoners given syphilis, thalidomide babies. You can't convince the world people like Nicole Maines are "victims," when they feel anything but.

It's why detransitioners hold the key to reintroducing gatekeeping into the process. It is in NO ONE'S interest to increase the number of regretters because of the informed consent/affirm-only free-for-all we have now.
