I honestly don't know abt thought police but I respect those who have tweeted who support both transkids AND kids who are role-defying.

They called the mom of a tomboy who dared to write about it a "transphobic bigot." Anyone who read her piece would know she is neither.

@peggyorenstein please don't contribute to the nasty, public witch hunt activists are launching against this mom. Her piece was brave & rare1 reply 0 retweets 17 likes -
They don't want you to know re: the many families wrongly caught up in a social contagion. They only aim to destroy anyone who points it out

With respect, please consider an alternate view on this. There's a down side to the "affirm only" approach.

With all respect, there's a downside to NOT affirming. Suicide risk is sky-high, but goes down 97% with an affirming parent.

I say again: 97%. To NOT affirm a child's trans identity (and yes, they may well desist, but they're most likely not to) is a huge risk.

Repeating something doesn't make it more true. Even the 41% stat doesn't show med transition cures self harm.https://4thwavenow.com/2015/08/03/the-41-trans-suicide-rate-a-tale-of-flawed-data-and-lazy-journalists/ …

Transition doesn't cure transphobia. Trans people who "pass" are still being FORCED to pass and surrounded by transphobia.

Parental affirmation DOES reduce suicide risk. See the article I tweeted. It reduces risk regardless of current stage of transition.
