1. The best protocol for diagnosing transsexualism is requiring the patient to undergo a substantial (1-2 year) “real life test,” including working or attending school as a member of the opposite sex.

With all due respect, Dr. Blanchard, a school campus test of 1-2 years is far from a real world experience. A working-in-the-real-world test, yes. Which also emphasizes that anyone under 18 who really should be in school is too young to be diagnosed for medical transitioning.

My "kid" had a 6-month "test" on a university campus where s/he was met with LOTS of support and cheerleading (dare I say indoctrination, but that's how it seemed). The university directs students to an informed consent gender clinic....no diagnostics, no counseling. Very fast.

Anyone who wonders why so many parents are tweeting these days needs to understand what we've been dealing with. My female kid had just learned the "trans" concept the year before. Her reaction was yippee! a way to escape "woman" and be a gay man like her best friends. ?really?

Maybe so. We’ve only just begun to pushback. But we want the professionals and the public to hear real life stories of what the change to “self-id” and “affirmative-care” has resulted in.

How is it dogpiling or rude to raise the idea that an 18 year old college student (in today's campus climate) may not get the same "real-world" experience as someone working a job? That's what her first tweet said.

Twitter is like a raucous public square. Can understand you feel your thread got derailed, but it's a public forum, where people step in and give their opinions. "Rude" would be insulting or attacking, which she didn't do; she was responding to @BlanchardPhD 's response to you.

Twitter is an open forum. Anyone who expects a private conversation can DM or email or telephone or snail mail someone. I just felt an overpowering need to point out that a campus “test” of living transgender is not a real life test. Have a nice day.
