Given how far pediatric transition has gone in North America--and importantly **how many parents go along with it** and are even public activists [e.g. Amanda Jette Knox]--it's worth strategizing how to actually win hearts and minds. Hyperbolic language may have opposite effect.

What do you mean by hyperbolic language? Please explain

I'm sorry but are you really advocating that we are somehow to blame, for failing to be polite enough while children are being harmed by medical treatments that can leave them permanently sterilized? This reminds me of church leaders who tell women in DV to be nice.

I can see that. Can these parents be persuaded by easier dialogue though? Polite language seems to me to simply serve to veil the truth, which the majority of people are simply unaware of.

It's not the parents that need convincing. It's the rest of the world that doesn't know the horrors.

In case you haven't noticed it is very difficult to be a loving supportive parent, supporting and hearing the feelings of your child without supporting the idea that they need to be medicalized. How is 4WN going to support those parents?

Have you only recently discovered 4thWaveNow? Five years on, we aren't only a parent support group (luckily, there are now several--online and in real life).
