The cruel threat of children's suicide is used here by a grown male to justify his demand to compete in women's sports. This cynical use of children to promote an adult agenda is the lowest tactic imaginable.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/may/17/idahobit-time-to-reflect-on-impact-negative-reporting-has-on-trans-kids …

Last week, a slick video was released, promoting, Mermaids, which shamelessly misused suicide stats to terrorize the public. Yet there is no longitudinal evidence showing that medical transition in childhood cures self harming behavior. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gdUkRsLqwA&feature=youtu.be …pic.twitter.com/4Gmkyuth6X

The same video features a 14-year-old female who believes she is male. Imagine how difficult & embarrassing it would be if that young teen--or any of the other minors used in propaganda and media--had a change of heart & decided not to transition.

In fact, the Dutch pioneers of pediatric transition warned that some desisters had a rough time; and these weren't celebrity trans kids, but protected research subjects, not adolescents being used as mascots for a cause.pic.twitter.com/qofv6Y7Afh

In the next paragraph, we see how **puberty itself**--uncomfortable at first--helped some girls desist. The question naturally arises: If puberty is blocked, how can a young person know if experiencing puberty over time would have resolved their dysphoria? https://www.researchgate.net/publication/49738851_Desisting_and_persisting_gender_dysphoria_after_childhood_A_qualitative_follow-up_study …pic.twitter.com/cy5eYj5iaQ

Organizations which promote pediatric transition--by making natural puberty The Enemy & unethically flogging "suicide or transition"--make desistance more difficult. They have reified lifelong patienthood for young people too young to understand irreversible consequences.

These same organizations seek to OUTLAW sensitive therapy which might allow a young person to come to peace in their own skin, avoiding a lifetime of injections, surgeries, & sterility. They conflate this approach with anti-gay conversion therapy.

As recently as a decade ago, **avoidance** of medical transition was considered preferred outcome for minors. Of course it would be! Even adult transsexuals wouldn't wish that fate on youth. Now "desistance" is a dirty word & trans activists write screeds claiming it's a "myth."
