It is an odd omission, given that our site is the first (and still the only) US-based organization providing that service, and we are largely a group of liberal, secular parents. Well over1000 parents have been in touch with us over the 3+ years we've been in existence.

4th wave now is already a target of trans activists. If 4th wave now had been included, that might have been used to undermine the legitimacy of the piece. Singal walks a tightrope.

Yet the Atlantic included a statement by (and link to website of) Zinnia Jones, another MTF activist who denies the experiences of not only parents, but teen girls who themselves point to social contagion and rapid-onset dysphoria.

This individual has repeatedly scoffed at parents who advocate for a more cautious approach to gender transition for their minor daughters, and promotes kids going online to get puberty blockers.https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/972154945129631744 …

I see this thread has been taken over by the crazies who don't want ANY work published that is critical of their movement. One of their tactics is to completely discredit any journalist that has published work that doesn't fall in line with their goals.

i see this article has been written by the crazies who don't want ANY work published that supports transition. One of their tactics is to claim they support the most socially acceptable thing to support then wedge in their issue so they can seem 'balanced' and 'nuanced'.

Honey listen there are many "trans" people who later discover they weren't trans. So articles like these help them prevent destroying themselves. Criticizing stuff and allowing yourself to look into other perspectives can be healthy

I didn’t realize 2.2% (as the article even states) of people was that many. Or maybe you just opened your mouth without the facts, “honey”.

Where did I open my mouth without the facts, darling?

I... literally just told you, but I guess I’ll say it again slower so you can keep up. 2.2% Which is the amount Of people Who decide To de-transition Is not That many People Btw if you wanted to sound smart, the pet names and emojis aren’t helping your case.

But baby girl, I MYSELF never brought up numbers you just straight out shoved them in my mouth Anyway, I'm so glad articles like these exist so they can prevent numbers from going higher

That leads to suicide rates for trans youth that are nearly 3 times higher than average. Nearly 40% of trans people under 25 have attempted to end their lives. And guess what? That number goes down to almost nothing if their identity is accepted.

Parents who gave their kid the secular version of "praying away" their gender issues, w/o proper counseling from a trans-friendly therapist, frame a story written by a cis person who casually uses "gender dysphoria" to discuss trans people. Good work.

Did you even read this article lmfao it has nothing to do with religion
