      1/Setting aside my own views, which are complicated and not secret, I am consistently surprised how many Obama liberals tell me, privately, they have some qualms here. Not about bathrooms or trans rights more generally, but about youth transition: pace, diagnosistic process, etc.https://twitter.com/karol/status/1182649826028204032 …

      I'm in some middle ground on trans kids which I don't see at all on twitter but see often in the actual world.

      You know Jesse, as a skeptic who has looked into this more than Karol seems to have, it might have been helpful if you'd correcter her misunderstanding of what puberty blockers do. She seems to think they cause permanent changes, when as we both know they do not.

      What am I skeptical of? And what did she say about puberty blockers? I did not review her entire ouvre on trans kids before responding to a single tweet making a narrow point.

      Replying to @jessesingal

      She said she's against puberty blockers and against anything that causes permanent changes. I thought the reason she was against blockers was *because* she thought they cause permanent changes, but apparently she's just against them but didn't give a reason.

      If that's the case I would encourage @karol to not adopt such a rigid approach!

      Just think it's worth emphasizing how much anguish is entailed when kids have to suffer form unabated dysphoria for years and years... absolutely agree with the common line that not treating is not a neutral act.

      I've always agreed that there's a balancing process between trans adults- who, if we can accurately identify them will have much easier lives if transition starts as early as possible- and gender questioning youth, who def shouldn't be rushed into anything prematurely.

          However, as a trans adult who is also a foster parent to two gender nonconforming youth (youth placed with my family to ensure they'd be able to explore safely), I am extremely doubtful that youth are being rushed into transition.

          1 of our kids has been with us for over a year, the other for 2 months. Neither has taken any medical steps to transition. If presence of trans adults or adults open to medical treatments was enough to pressure kids towards binary transition, why haven't mine done it?
