"play the long game" is just chilling. it reminds me of the kid in that infamous J*sse Singal article whose parents lie to them and tell them they're looking hard for a therapist w/ an expertise in gender identity when in fact they just...aren't.

Delay children so they can't get help before puberty. Then complain that because the person has gone through puberty they can't really transition. It's shockingly awful.

Ironically, RTing this would be a passive aggressive diss to certain people in my life if they were on Twitter.

omg, "stress the importance of friends who *don't* affirm their gender identity"??? That's just sick.

Yes, the fact that young people will prioritize friends who listen and accept them as they are is truly shocking. /sarcasm

As someone who had to fight tooth and nail to get blockers as a young teen dealing with my body changing actively before my eyes this is absolutely fucking horrifying.

As a human, and parent, I am really sorry you were treated like that. My kid didn't end up needing blockers, but we had already decided to pursue the treatment if needed. It should've been that easy for you.

Just gross. Gross. My way of "delaying" potential dysphoria was simply to affirm that "you can be a boy even if you don't have a penis" (totally worked, btw)...NOT "let's just talk about something else." "Delay & Distract" is for toddler's that want to grab your phone ffs.
