      Social transition doesn't entail the agonizing complexities of med transition that parents of teens/older kids post about. For awhile it really is unicorns & rainbows (& pronouns)--apart from the (frequent) dismay of grandparents & others on hearing a 3-yr-old is now trans /20

      No one--NO ONE--has proven that "gender identity" is an innate, inborn human trait. Yet the parents in this group quite obviously and fervently believe it is. Why wouldn't they, when every institution in society (as well as many MDs and therapists) assert that it is? /21

      Even those who claim to have "gender fluid, genderqueer, nonbinary," etc offspring never raise the obvious question: If my child is "fluid" (and may have even changed their "identity" one or more times), how is "gender" something stable requiring irreversible medicalization? /22

      For this lack of critical thinking, we can again thank the leading lights in this Age of the Trans Child. Medicalization of "nonbinary/fluid/queer" patients has been entirely normalized--buttressed, always, with the threat of suicide as the only alternative. A few examples: /23

      Olson-Kennedy of LA Children's Hospital spoke with relish (audio clips within) at a USPATH conference re: treating "nonbinary" patients: Tinkering with hormones & surgeries, sculpting a young body to meet almost any identity demand, however transient. /24https://4thwavenow.com/2017/08/04/no-menses-no-mustache-gender-doctor-touts-nonbinary-hormones-surgery-for-self-sacrificing-youth/ …

      Ehrensaft, of barrettes & onesies fame, speaks with reverence about the kids requesting "just a touch of testosterone". It's the children who are leading us now. Those Facebook moms, for their part, are only "following the lead" of experts like these. /25 http://archive.is/uQK60 pic.twitter.com/LvEOCZ4S2u

      Of course, hormonal/surgical tinkering is even more frequent amongst adult patients, who clearly have the right to make medical decisions. But what would compel a woman to think that removing one of her two ovaries would somehow validate her existence? /26https://4thwavenow.com/2017/07/30/nonbinary-patient-sues-utah-md-who-removed-both-ovaries/ …

      Back to the affirmative parent FB group, there are massive numbers of posts by parents of "fluid" or "nonbinary" kids. A few examples here. /27https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1109135524948779008 …

      1. LONG THREAD: Testosterone for nonbinary 13-year-olds, in the latest batch of leaked posts from the affirmative parent group. In several threads, multiple mothers appear to claim that Dr. Olson-Kennedy is prescribing T to middle schoolers, in some cases without blockers first.

      This thread highlights the doctrine of "follow their lead." Note in this tweet the parent claims her child showed "signs" of being trans at age 1. ALL of this is because of affirmative "experts." These parents didn't make this up out of whole cloth. /28https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1105879287951998979 …

      3. If there's one message consistently expressed in this FB group, it's "follow your child's lead"--no matter how many times they change their mind (they might be "nonbinary"), and no matter how young the child. pic.twitter.com/e1jkaPasyv

      10 yrs ago, there weren't 1000s of parents insisting their young kids were somehow deposited in the wrong bodies. The parents are a direct result of "affirmative" clinicians who only appeared recently. In turn, these clinicians are a direct result of extreme trans activism. /29

      Before the Age of the Trans Child, kids with dysphoria were a rare group, treated by careful clinicians who realized desistance would be a better outcome, if only to minimize the number of ppl who would want to undergo drastic surgeries & become permanent medical patients. /30

          Now desistance is a dirty word, and caring clinicians (who DID approve medical transition for those who really needed it) have been hounded & demonized--some even losing their jobs. /31

          Fortunately, there are still such clinicians among us. One of them is Alexander Korte of Germany. If you haven't seen the interview with him from last year, it's essential. /32https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1195403266726776832 …

          Korte goes on to say children tend to be impulsive ("hasty") & he does not believe they are capable of understanding the decision to block puberty "which has lifelong consequences" and is not a harmless intervention. pic.twitter.com/7lRyKPdgW3
