      Okay. I've long respected KevinMD. I read what you wrote. Can I ask if you've been able to find other resources in your area for the questioning & dysphoric kids who come to you, like therapists who specialise, or if you've been able to bring up your concerns w the clinic itself?

      I do understand that you might expect some direct pushback from the clinic. But wanting the kids you care for to have more assessment & therapy is completely reasonable. Working with them could only benefit the kids they see.

      :/ I'm genuinely sorry this is such a painful topic for everyone. I know these children are often really struggling & I don't want to see them put through unnecessary or oppositional medical care.

      That's not a real concern. The actual issue is that it's extremely difficult for any transgender person to get care. Making it harder is the worst thing to do.

      This is absolutely true, & one thing that I've been thinking about is how much it all COSTS. I honestly cannot imagine being on the transgender beat & not discussing these issues. In the US most parents would be having nightmares. @jessesingal @sadydoyle

      Well, in my state (Oregon) all transgender care is covered by OHP and thus must be covered by all private insurance as well. At the TransActive meeting, there were families who had moved to OR for "free" transgender care for their kids. Moved from TX and moved from OK.

      Those are called "good parents"

      What's the chance of one mother having two trans kids? The mom who moved from OK to obtain transition care had both a transboy and a transgirl. 🤔 Stunning and brave. And she said of her third "well, he's a baby, he doesn't know what he is yet."

      Whatever you think the cause of being trans is -- be it genetic or environmental, nature or nurture -- since blood siblings raised in the same household share both, the chance of them both being trans is probably pretty high

      I know of multiple big quiverfull families where a plurality of adult children are now out as trans, and those family environments are the opposite of supportive of trans people.

      No, no, see, then it's your parents' repressive gendered expectations that caused you to be trans It's a catch-22, they've got you coming and going - too-conservative parents make you trans, too-liberal parents make you trans, everything transes you

          True. A few years back I had a woman spend nearly two years writing passive aggressive blog posts about me because I told her to stop speculating about Dugger children still living at home, and that quiverfull doesn't make kids gay or trans.

          The one thing they know for sure is that you definitely know less about yourself than they do. Everything else follows from that.
