Young transgender regret

Transgender youth: My daughter needs mental health care — not hormones

My daughter told me that the school social worker was advising her about halfway houses because he thought we did not support her. The social worker confirmed this when I scheduled a meeting with him to discuss it. This felt like a horrifying attempt to encourage our daughter to run away from home.

We had our daughter evaluated by a psychologist approved by the school district. He told us that it was very clear that our daughter’s sudden transgender identity was driven by her underlying mental health conditions, but would only share his thoughts off the record because he feared the potential backlash he would receive. In the report he submitted to us and the school, he did not include these concerns that he would only share in person.

Probably like the medical records that documented his referral to the clinic that begins the MEDICAL transition process when he is 8 or 9 years old that they didn't think was relevant to their report, they also determined that the video wasn't relevant. Contradictory evidence isn't relevant to them. Gets in their way of their advocacy of medical transitions.

That clinic also provides psychological support and states that they follow the standard protocol of not starting blockers until 11-12. You would know this if you opened and read the links on the site.

We support the youth of all gender expressions and identities, and provide evidence-based, gender-affirming care in a supportive and safe environment. Gender identity is unique for every child and may be different from the sex assigned to them at birth. Our care is individualized and developed through collaboration with patients and their families.

The GENECIS providers follow established guidelines from The Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guidelines and The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) for medical and mental healthcare services, also consistent with the American Academy of Pediatrics Policy Statement.

I have said many times that those underlying conditions must be examined and treated before any transgendered care begins.

With some of those people, it seems to them that the "transitioning" all of sudden happens without any kind of examination. It's like with movies or tv shows, all of those series of events happen within 1 or 2 hours.

Do you have any evidence that they didn't? Do you think that they are not aware that that video exists?

If we're aware of the video, then it's safe to assume that "everybody" is. But this doesn't mean that the video claims were investigated, and the court findings don't say that they were. So let's not assume that they were; let's stick to the facts as we know them.

Obviously, the Dr's are aware of that fact.

A pediatrician is not a psychologist.

Wow, thanks. I did not know that. But are you pretending that a physician's opinion isn't given more weight than a layperson's, particularly within the medical community itself?

If they are aware of the claims and didn't investigate that would mean that they are guilty if ethical misconduct/malpractice in the care of that child because that video suggests that there is child abuse if it is accurate and unedited.

It would take me about 5 minutes to create an untraceable email address via TOR and send a link to that video to the Drs, hospital or children's services if I suspected that they had not seen it.

Allowing that mother who is also a Dr to make life-changing medical decisions regarding their own child is a serious medical ethical problem, both on her part and that of the Dr or psychologist that permits it. Drs treating childhood gender identity are going to CYA, 6 ways from Sunday, just because the of the ethical risks of not doing so are so high. They have plenty of time to investigate and evaluate because there is no medical intervention for 6+ years, so there is no reason to rush any decision.

Rainbow Counseling was providing the psychological services in this case and they were the ones advocating that the kid be referred to the reassignment clinic at 8 or 9 yrs old

You are too ignorant to continue this conversation. Did you click on the link that I provided in #527?

Yes I did. We can see what they say on their website and compare it to what the actual medical records say in this case.

The public doesn't have access to this child's medical records. That would be a blatant violation of HIPAA law. There is nothing medical going on in this child's care as it relates to transition and there will be nothing medical for possibly 4-5 years. Hormone blockers will be administered when the child is 11 or 12 if the transgender feelings are still present. Hormones are started 2-3 years later. Surgery isn't considered until the teen is 17 or 18, regardless of what some far-right religious website of questionable veracity has convinced you.

Life-site-news makes the National Enquirer looks respectable in comparison. The idea that you may agree with it doesnt change the fact that it is not trustworthy.
These media sources are moderate to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.

Overall, we rate LifeSiteNews far right biased based on story selection that always favors evangelical Christianity and Mixed for factual reporting due to a few failed fact checks.

The court did and the mother read aloud the relevant part in court. So not sure of the relevance
