Amazing work by @jessesingal on ethically treating trans kids — accounting for both the risks of forgoing early interventions & the risks of forging ahead too quickly during a period of identity instability & exploration https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/07/when-a-child-says-shes-trans/561749/ …

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.

What's the evidence that the stories in Jesse's piece are atypical for detransition/desistance? (I also think the sort of narratives you're talking about would strengthen the piece, but I have zero sense of how common they are.)

Can't access the full text, so just going by Zinnia's review — this doesn't seem to imply the kinds of stories Jesse is covering are typical? (It's hard to know whether should even expect the same trends for detransitioning kids vs. detransitioning adults.)
