The dad who wrote the letter is not "fringe"; he asks responsible clinicians to address the social contagion affecting girls/young women that parents & others are observing, but activists deny. That's what's irresponsible, not a letter-writing campaign. https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/984061242758389760 …https://twitter.com/TransgenderSoul/status/984069975018229761 …

We encourage you to read the article you linked more carefully. Put yourself in parents' shoes, parents who know how hastily their daughters demand T and top surgery, yet their words fall on deaf ears. Writing letters is hardly "fringe" or "irresponsible."

Your words: "coming to terms with irreversible changes"; "suffered through the process." Can you really not comprehend that parents, called "haters" and "bigots" by the very clinicians who should be protecting our daughters, are simply asking to be heard?pic.twitter.com/Av3cmRofW5

You acknowledge the trend in girls/young women seeking help from you (for your trouble, the WPATH FB thread was cut off after you said it), yet spread the lie that a father asking for a **letter-writing** campaign to raise awareness is somehow an extreme action?

You KNOW what is going on. Why not encourage your colleagues to engage parents in meaningful dialogue, instead of demonizing them? You're better than that. Than this, for our suddenly-trans, impulsive teen daughters:pic.twitter.com/itIbZa1dpN

Does PADad sound "fringe" and "irresponsible"? "Dangerously ignorant and aggressive?" Notice how Hind assumes PADad's child is a "young man." Hind has never met the daughter, no idea of the situation. The parent backlash is exactly because of this kind of demonization/assumption.pic.twitter.com/SHZO4i53Xk

Anyone interested in the context of Dr. St. Claire's FB post noting increase in "AFAB" clients with regrets can view it here. (The FB post is still live. ) An admin turned off commenting after St. Claire's post (last one in the thread). http://archive.is/NJRgO

If you read the letter, the father is perfectly aware that his daughter is a young adult who gets to make her own medical decisions; but that doesn't mean he stopped caring about her welfare when she turned 18. And the campaign he wants isn't just for his daughter, as he states.

My daughter desisted after 1 year. There are many others like her.
#RapidOnsetGenderDysphoria is a real phenomenon. Many 4thWaveNow parents aren't anti-transgender, but are deeply concerned that interventions like cross-sex hormones and surgeries are provided too readily. -
Again, Dr. St. Claire acknowledged the trend in her FB post. It's mystifying that, of all clinicians, this one would join the trans-activist freakout over a **letter-writing campaign** to raise awareness about what's happening with our daughters.
