If you only read one ‘trans’ article this week, read this one-by a parent about their experience with a trans-identified child. https://4thwavenow.com/2017/11/24/a-careful-step-into-a-field-of-landmines/ …

Replying to @LilyLilyMaynard @Ginger1383
"....when a child uses puberty blockers and then goes on to transition with cross-sex hormones, it results in permanent sterilization." Not factual. I have met several trans men + women who stopped taking hormones temporarily + reproduced after years of cross sex therapy.

No. Point about permanent sterilization is of PREPUBESCENT children started on blockers at Tanner 2 who then proceed directly to cross-sex hormones= permanently sterilized. VERY different from adults who went through puberty. All gender doctors agree. http://transhealth.ucsf.edu/trans?page=guidelines-youth …

.@MorganeOgerNDP and leading gender therapists openly condescend to parents concerned about the ethics of irreversible sterilization. https://vimeo.com/185178522

Whitewashing the sterilization of children isn't going to help the cause of trans activists in the end. Here's Rob Garofolo, top US pediatric gender doctor, acknowledging it. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/when-transgender-kids-transition-medical-risks-are-both-known-and-unknown/ …pic.twitter.com/ynu7LCRm2N

Sahar Sadjadi at Amherst wrote about it too. Stop pretending halting puberty and dosing 12-year-old bodies with cross-sex hormones is not a massive ethics issue.pic.twitter.com/7zPleumsv9

And YES 12-year-olds are being actively experimented on in the US with cross-sex hormones--including girls who identify as "genderqueer" or "bi gender".pic.twitter.com/9J3LlOVaR2

Always amazed how "we need to stop the violence against trans youth" gets consistently perverted by "Monsters are experimenting with hormones on kids" on the basis of "because boogeyman". 1. Do you have trans-identified kids? 2. Remember this? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12260274

Everyone in our group has trans-identified or formerly trans-identified kids/teens. If you think being concerned about the effects of blockers and hormones on minors is equivalent to worries about the Pill and **adult** women, we have nothing else to discuss.
