Only 6 months prior, she made this vid re: "bridging Rx" for T from a GP before consult w/ gender clinic. Question is: Is it wise for youth to be "affirmed" so quickly? She says in new vid she's getting voice therapy & electrolysis to undo T's effects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZCUgGbPh8s&feature=youtu.be …

Only a few years ago, med transition was an adults-only decision, undertaken at an age when future consequences would be better understood. Trans activism has created false impression that there is no controversy around youth transition. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Now we have a growing group of young detransitioned women trying to make the best of irreversible effects of testosterone. Understandably most say they "don't regret" what they did; self-acceptance must include ALL their formerly rejected selves, bodily changes and all.

It's good that young detransitioners are taking care of themselves & each other. At the same time, parents are focused on prevention: Some of our daughters have changed their mind about hormones, & their lives now are so much simpler for having avoided T in the first place.

It must also be understood that, increasingly, "affirmative" providers see temporary cross-sex hormone treatment--and even surgeries--as non-problematic, even for minors. Regret (and/or future reversal procedures) is not even on their radar.https://4thwavenow.com/2017/08/04/no-menses-no-mustache-gender-doctor-touts-nonbinary-hormones-surgery-for-self-sacrificing-youth/ …
