Jesse’s piece is incredibly measured & well-researched. At no point does he remotely imply that trans kids be ignored or discouraged from exploring their identity — to the contrary, that clinicians really need to understand the extreme complexity of this experience for many kids.

I will never, ever be in support of eliminating nuance so the casuals can get the "right" political message. This is not about making people "pro-trans" or "anti-trans," and I think you have a VERY poor impression of me if you think I find this argument compelling AT ALL.
