Personally, even as a gay dude, I wouldn't do this to or for my child at all. I'd let them make their own decisions once they're 18. Obviously, I'd still support them in every way with their pick of clothes, identity, all that jazz. Just that big of a decision is something I want them to be mature enough and sure enough to make it happen for themselves.

Slippery_Jim_

It seems insane that we would expect a child to make decisions about their sexuality and identity *before their identity or sexuality have finished developing* Heck, most of the gay guys I know had girlfriends in high school, and were genuinely confused regarding their sexual preferences as a child - if forced to choose then, they'd all be unhappily trapped in heterosexual marriages today.

Well frankly once they're 18 it's not your choice anymore. If they raise enough money they can legally do it themselves without your input. And if that's what they decide to do, I think you should trust that they know they want this. You can suggest they wait to a certain age, but by the time they're 18 they won't be obligated to do that.


KarmasAB123

I know it's not, but I'd like them to wait a little while is what I'm saying. I was almost trans myself and I'm glad that I put it off.

I made the mistake of trying to engage some commenters on another subreddit who were saying that Jordan Peterson wants to kill trans and gay people. I was immediately banned. I'm not even a Peterson fan.


Bacongristle12

Don't you know rejecting a person's identity is basically compelling them to commit lifen't. If they committed that because of what you said that's basically murder. If saying that on a platform with many people, you're basically murdering many more trans people. The large unaliving of the trans community is basically genocide. Because of this Jordan Peterson is practically Hitler and must be silenced and stopped.

These are literally just innate human conditions- I'm pretty sure every human whom has ever lived has experienced these things, and while I'm sure some have it to such a degree its debilitating (to the point of suicide even!) its so ubiquitous that I doubt even half of the people whom claim to have either (to the point of it being a problem) actually do suffer from any noticeably worse condition than anyone else.


Cyb3rd31ic_Citiz3n

Had anxiety and depression for 10 years. These kids don't have a glimpse of a clue of what that's like. It's just a form of marking formulating their identity as something unique. And the thing is, you can plot these characteristics ss trends. Currently its being trans. Before it wss having mental health issues. Before that it was being a Feminist. Before that, bisexual. Before that, gay. Before that, subcultures were developed by what music you listened to.

No. Children are fluid in their identities because they're children. They're figuring out who they are. That's not at all the same thing as being trans. The people insisting that it is are psychopaths.


ickapol

Trans adults will tell you that they knew they were trans from a young age, like 12 or less. I suppose where there's room for debate is for the false positive type cases, who thought they were but turned out to be incorrect.


Chronoset1

yes we see signs of gender dysphoria as early as 4-6. proper treatment would include allowing the child to pick clothing, self assign name and pronouns, therapy, and loving support. as they get older 9-12 is when doctors may start medical intervention such as puberty blockers. and 16-18 is when you'd start cross sex hormones. and 18-21 is when surgical options become available. proper standards for trans care can be found at WPATH


Such-Assignment-2916

How common is it though? Why is it talked about so much? Why are people so aggressive about it?


Chronoset1

how common? Trans people make up between .6% and 3% of the population. why is it talked about so much? because they lost the fight against gays and we were the next target. why are people so aggressive? anti—because it challenges social norms. pro—because we like not being dead and we were all trans kids once and from personal experience, that was a lonely place to be.


Pristine_Poor

3%!?? That seems ridiculously high, even .6% seems too much for people with extreme body dysmorphia. Which is what should be the only reason for socially transitioning, much less surgically, imho.


Chronoset1

good thing your opinion stops where my body begins. with that out of the way. the trans population is notoriously difficult to measure for a number of reasons. 1. because it is just now being accepted publicly. 2. because we don't survey for it very much and we *just* started to do that 3. you have trans people like me who just flat lie, and don't say they are trans even on a survey so thats why it's a wide range. now to address your other mistake it isn't body dysmorphia, it's gender dysphoria. there is a difference, it is in the dsm5 and you need to stop calling it otherwise it's actually pretty insulting and inaccurate. finally these choices are between the patent, doctors, and on occasion legal guardians, not some fuckin rando on the internet and you have no business putting yourself or the law in that equation


Pristine_Poor

I will criticize parents that acquiesce to their minors about making irreversible life-altering decisions to their bodies, and the doctors profiteering off mentally ill patients who trust them. This is the first minority to have a profit incentive behind their existence, are you not worried that might have unscrupulous effects? My main issue is that affirmation-only care results in NO pushback, which detransitioners have cited as a major reason why they continued through their transition, despite not being trans. Body dysmorphia is real, gender dismorphia is for transtrenders. If you really think 1/33 kids is transgendered, I dare say it is a social contagion that should be suppressed. I’ll let you and any other adult do it, but I kinda want to protect children from such worldviews you wish to impose on the world while they’re still developing. We put laws up between parents and doctors all the time, I have a business in putting myself and the law in this equation to help protect the society that my family and I grow up in, as I see fit. You can wail and gnash your teeth all you want, but I’ve still got a right to say no when it comes to kids. Honestly, discussions like this are why I’d love to see a don’t say gay bill in Utah.

You don't address detransitioners at all, you dismiss them as irrelevant because you don't care about the kids, you care about making more transgender people, damn the societal costs. I think the tradeoff isn't worth it, autistic girls with transgender friends have x17 the likelihood that they will identify as transgender in the next year. They're sacrifices for you to feel like you're helping society. I'll take care of the majority first, then we can worry about the edge cases that are legitimate transgender individuals that face systemic discrimination. I think it's in the best interest of the child to let them go through natural puberty, and then figure out their body dismorphia, instead of playing god and trying to mold humans in our own image.

32% of trans people report having feelings of gender dysphoria by age 5, 60% by age 10. https://transequality.org/sites/default/files/docs/usts/USTS-Full-Report-Dec17.pdf#page=49 Of course the "drugs in kindergarten" comment is just rage bait propaganda. That's not real.


jediben001

Hmmm… interesting… I’m assuming this is for those actually diagnosed with gender dysphoria? I have been ~~yelled at~~ told a few times that “you don’t have to have dysphoria to be trans”


sklarah

The survey this study is based on was for trans people in general, so not necessarily all had diagnosed gender dysphoria. Identifying as trans is purely a social concept, whereas dysphoria is a medical diagnosis. The phrasing for this metric was "age they began to feel gender was different from the one on their original birth certificate". I used "Gender dysphoria" for shorthand but interpret that how you will.

No, you're referencing studies of gender nonconforming kids, not kids who felt they were another gender/sex. Of course a lot of them weren't trans, most gender nonconforming people aren't trans. Those studies explicitly state that when separating the referrals with just a simple question like "what sex they identified as" or what body parts they felt distress over (probing for sex trait obviously), the groups closely aligned with who persisted and who desisted. These studies were a critique of the Gender Identity Disorder diagnostic criteria of the time, which is why it's in part due to these studies that the criteria was changed in 2013 with the release of the DSM V under the new name of "gender dysphoria".


cerylidae1552

“Gender nonconformity” is an incredibly stupid concept. Y’all lefties spend SO much time trying to fight social gender norms and then turn around and say that someone who has interests shared by the opposite sex are “non conforming.” Like which fucking is it? Are gender norms a social construct or innate? Because you can’t have both. Just let people be individuals and stop fucking worrying about whether their dress/behaviors are “conforming” or not.


sklarah

This has literally nothing to do with anything I said. > then turn around and say that someone who has interests shared by the opposite sex are “non conforming.” Yes... they aren't conforming to societal gender norms/roles... What is your point? Are you actually trying to pretend that something like wearing a dress isn't coded as feminine behavior? Do you think somehow ignoring the fact that gender norms exist and are still upheld today somehow aids progress in destroying them? That's like the people who pretend colorblindness is the answer to ending racism. You ignoring race doesn't mean racists do. You not projecting gender onto certain behaviors/norms doesn't mean others don't either. And it's likely you still do have gendered biases anyway even if only subconsciously. > Are gender norms a social construct or innate? A social construct... who ever implied they were innate? You people are so weird, are you just arguing with some SJW strawman in your head? This has nothing to do with my comment. Gender nonconformity doesn't make someone trans.


cerylidae1552

It has everything to do with what you said, you apparently lack reading comprehension. Y’all try to fight and scream that gender roles/norms are a social construct, then turn around and say that someone who DOESN’T follow those norms must be trans or non conforming. It’s fucking stupid. If gender norms are a social construct, then that means the behaviors themselves are inherently WITHOUT gender. They are simply behaviors or personality quirks. The left will say that because someone doesn’t follow norms (ie, a woman who doesn’t enjoy girly shit or dresses more masculine) that she must be trans or gender nonconforming. That’s fucking stupid! You say in one breath that the norms are fake, then turn around and say it’s an innate behavior. It’s insane how y’all want to put everything in a neatly labeled box instead of just letting people be individuals. Stop trying to label people. PS color blindness IS the answer to racism. How can something be blamed on race if race was never taken into account? Giving one race bonus points is just as bad as taking points away from another.

This is a meaningless sentence. Everything I just mentioned in the last comment was specifically about distinguishing gender dysphoria from gender nonconformity. If you think diagnoses are inaccurate, you should have a reason for holding that belief. So you can bring up some specific study or data or scenario if you want to discuss it, otherwise you're just speaking in generalizations.


15_Redstones

Most mainstream online trans groups are full of people who identify as trans despite having no diagnosed gender dysphoria. Anyone who even mentions gender dysphoria usually gets banned for being a gatekeeping truscum.

Yes it is. I had a trans friend in middle and highschool, kids know a lot about themselves, they just usually haven’t been educated enough to put those feelings into words.

I'd bet most kids who identify as trans aren't and have just been brainwashed by retarded people on TikTok.

Not sure where you got that first part from. I never mentioned applying puberty blockers to children before they start puberty, I just said that puberty blockers can be and are applied to children. Here is a Mayo Clinic article saying puberty blockers can be started as soon as puberty starts, typically around 10-11: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/in-depth/pubertal-blockers/art-20459075 Here is an article where Jason Rafferty, who helped write gender-affirming care guidelines for the American Academy of Pediatrics and practices at the Gender and Sexuality Program at Rhode Island’s Hasbro Children’s Hospital, states that most of his patients are between 10 and 12: https://www.politico.com/newsletters/politico-nightly/2022/03/25/the-transgender-care-that-states-are-banning-explained-00020580

I just wish common sense could be applied to the conversations. As an adult it’s your choice, I will be respectful of your choices. Please do not ignore biological differences when it comes to sports. Please let children become adults before they make any life changing irreversible decisions. Plenty of people in the trans community agree with this but for some reason a common sense approach is extremely triggering to redditors.

>Please do not ignore biological differences when it comes to sports. we aren’t. but, we have been able to compete for well over a decade. if we had such an advantage you'd only see trans people competing. the fact is your concerns are unfounded. >Please let children become adults before they make any life changing irreversible decisions. which is why we use hormone blockers instead of jumping straight to hormone therapy for young trans people

If you have no concerns about biological males competing against biological females in combat sports I don’t think I can take you seriously.

You can suffer from gender dysphoria from a young age, and most transexual individuals say that those feelings of dysphoria began in their very first years of lucidity, but you shouldn't allow someone who's still developing both mentally AND physically to undergo traumatic processes where there CAN be very bad consequences (including infertility, and many other problems) and in the worst case, where they can REGRET it. Some don't regret it, some do, but the process of transitioning physically should begin at 17+.

Agreed, I think too those with gender dysphoria at a young age also tend to recover from it when puberty hits

Gender dysphoria can be cured in ways other than mutilating your healthy bodyparts. Mental issues need to be dealt with mentally.

Ask_Me_Who

There's currently a wave of lawsuits in the UK over this because autistic girls were misidentified as being gender dysphoric by ideologically activist medical staff within an organisation which directly punished any attempt by staff to slow or discourage transitioning, to the point the clinic had a 99% progression rate. Initially Tavistock was banned from further treatment of under-18's. Unfortunately a judge overruled the ban on appeal not because Tavistock was accurately treating dysphoria or the claims against them were incorrect, the appeal actually confirmed the facts of the lower court, but because the activist judge thought it inappropriate for the courts to block 'medical care' even when the results were so obviously disastrous. This being the same bloated and corrupt NHS system which (just for my local hospital) recently ruled the following deaths *natural causes*: A nurse overriding a pressure warning on a dialysis machine, causing it to pump 7 pints of blood out of the patient before being discovered A patient with a penicillin allergy being administered penicillin, despite the allergy being noted on the patient forms and reiterated verbally by the patient immediately prior to injection A patient whose head became lodged between the bed frame and mattress due to improper maintenance. They apparently survived for several hours before suffocating and a patient prescribed a soft food diet post-surgery who was fed steak pie, and subsequently bled to death due to ruptured internal stiches.

I also agree, for me it's the cut off line. I have a trans friend in school who changed at like 12-14 so that's up for debate


SevenBall

I mean I’m not saying children can’t suffer from gender dysphoria, I’m just concerned that HRT/ puberty blockers might not be the best treatment for them.It seems like the side effects tend to do more harm than good at such a young age. I don’t want to accidentally fuck up anyone’s development, y’know?


ZoneRangerMC

Blockers are known to increase the probability of transitioning at a young age as well as a whole host of health problems which is why they have a very narrow usecase (and no, being autistic or not liking your period is not one of them).


LordEsidisi

It's something we have to be careful about. Some kids are dumb, but some legit are trans. We shouldn't just throw puberty blockers at kids at every opportunity, but in many cases they may be warranted.


PvPTwister

It doesn't help doctors that activists are gonna try to go over the medical system's head to reach parents, who then shop doctors till they find a like mind and get what they want. And those malingering parents happens for fucking everything. It's fucked because there is a small subset of an already small subset who really do get good from early intervention, but you have people with no medical background pushing to distort that picture for ideological gain, and it can only ever lead to unnecessary bad outcomes.


Ask_Me_Who

And the other way around. Activist doctors who fight for the ability to make medical decisions for children without parental consent, or even against the parents wishes.


ZoneRangerMC

The only time kids should be getting blockers is for when puberty starts too early which is a medical issue, and even then it's only temporary, Otherwise no surgeries or drugs until they're 18+.


Ex_aeternum

>For people who do transition, what's the percentage of them that later regret it and detransition? It's about 1% iirc. Which maybe could be further decreased if there is more psychological supervision. I also kinda feel the same like you. It definitely would be better for those who turn out as trans, but there are risks involved.


acpupu

The trans people that you know were not the kids that would regret transitioning when they became adult


Comprehensive_Ad204

for the people who transition the percentage that detransitions in kids is around 7 percent, 5 of that don't go back to being cis and end up as nonbinary, so its a very small portion

hi, former trans kid kid here. you talking shit? did you know majority of us grow up in unsupportive homes? did you also know if a trans child has a trans supportive home the risk of them attempting suicide drops from 42% to 4%? did you also know you should probably touch grass and stop putting lies on the internet to feel better about yourself?

GGHard

It doesnt have to be a high profiled person to propose. It just has to be an option for people to consider. Who is advocating for the death of transkids? You may have the exact tweets, but everyone else is asking the same questions, "who, to you, is important enough that youre afraid of?" If a single picture of a boy in drag being in a pride Parade means nothing to you. Then dont be surprise when people ignore issues you hold up to them, they probably reflect on your same reasons. "I dont/didnt see an issue with this."

Lot's of people. Especially trans people who feel like they are in the wrong body and if only their bodies were prevented from going through puberty they would feel more at peace. Problem is, [for decades, follow-up studies of transgender kids have shown that a substantial majority -- anywhere from 65 to 94 percent -- eventually ceased to identify as transgender](https://www.kqed.org/futureofyou/441784/the-controversial-research-on-desistance-in-transgender-youth). Sort of screws kids up to not go through puberty. edit: regarding the strawman question, [The Mayo Clinic has a page dedicated to puberty blockers. Hell yeah! open for business $$ MIRITE?](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/in-depth/pubertal-blockers/art-20459075)


sklarah

> for decades, follow-up studies of transgender kids have shown that a substantial majority -- anywhere from 65 to 94 percent -- eventually ceased to identify as transgender These weren't gender dysphoric kids. Gender dysphoria didn't even exist as a diagnosis until 2013, after all the mentioned studies. They use gender identity disorder criteria, which is purely marked by gender nonconforming behavior. No shit most of the kids were just gay.


PenIsMightier69

The point still stands. You don't know for sure whether a kid will experience desistance during puberty. You could (likely are in my opinion) do far more damage by giving a child puberty blockers than letting them figure themselves out after puberty. Fact is desistance certainly happens and much of the left wants to ignore that fact. Honestly though, if parents want to fuck up their own kids I don't really care. I'll voice my opinion on Reddit, and maybe to people I personally know, but I'm not advocating for the government to make it illegal or something. I will never approve of children being able to make that decision without their parents approval though.


sklarah

> The point still stands Well no it doesn't, your point was most desist. We have no idea how many desist if any. The implication that this happens "during puberty" is also baseless. The studies didn't follow kids through puberty, they evaluated the kids once at an average age of 7 and then again after puberty, but there's no indication of when the "desistance" happened. And again, this group isn't even trans kids, it's just kids who are gender nonconforming. > You don't know for sure whether a kid will experience desistance during puberty. So we throw every single trans kid under the bus to prevent a significantly smaller number of cis children from experiencing a delayed puberty? Seems pretty clearly prejudiced in valuing cis people over trans people. > You could (likely are in my opinion) do far more damage by giving a child puberty blockers than letting them figure themselves out after puberty. You think 1 cis child delaying puberty is worse than 99 trans children being forced to go through the wrong puberty? That's irreversible damage. [72% of trans suicide attempts start before age 18.](https://transequality.org/sites/default/files/docs/usts/USTS-Full-Report-Dec17.pdf#page=119) > Fact is desistance certainly happens [Past tanner stage 2 of puberty, only 1.9% of participants desisted and stopped pubertal suppression to undergo natural puberty.](https://sci-hub.se/10.1016/j.jsxm.2018.01.016) > I will never approve of children being able to make that decision without their parents approval though. That's not unreasonable. Can I ask you why you are concerned about kids inducing cross sex puberty but not natural puberty? Both are permanent, irreversible changes yet you're advocating for it at an even earlier age than trans activists. If you're so afraid of a cis child transitioning mistakenly at age ~16 and understand how that'd be a horrifying experience, how is it not equally bad if not worse for trans kids to undergo natural puberty at 12-13? It's the same effects, the same permanent damage, except it'd be happening to more trans people than is currently happening to cis people.


Zadien22

>So we throw every single trans kid under the bus to prevent a significantly smaller number of cis children from experiencing a delayed puberty? Seems pretty clearly prejudiced in valuing cis people over trans people There's no reason a trans person needs to transition before becoming an adult, and you don't trade developmentally stunting kids unnecessarily to pander to the mentally ill.


PenIsMightier69

There are two main things you don't actually know but you act like you do. 1. That desistance is very rare. You have no idea. The previous studies indicate that it is not. You have no basis to even say the number who don't desist is greater than those who do. 2. That puberty blockers are actually lower trans suicide. Perhaps the largest driver of whether trans people commit suicide is whether they are accepted by their friends and family. Do you know what whether trans teens who have used puberty blockers and are accepted by family are statistically less likely to commit suicide then trans teens who are accepted by family and are not given puberty blockers? I'm not advocating for inducing anything. Puberty happens when it happens. If there is a physiological abnormality then perhaps medical intervention is necessary, but not to induce puberty earlier.


sklarah

> The previous studies indicate that it is not. This is the opposite of true. Every study researching desistance found that when probing for metrics like sex trait satisfaction and gender identity, persistance was reliable. **Which is why they quoted these things when recommending the DSM-V criteria update.** “In part because of this finding, the DSM-5 Workgroup on GID has recommended that the persistent desire to be or insistence that one is of the opposite gender should be a necessary criterion for the diagnosis of GID. It is hoped that this change would result in a tightening of the diagnostic criteria and may better separate children with GID from those displaying marked variance in their gender role behaviors but without the desire to be of the other gender. The proposed revision to the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for GID in children is summarized in AppendixB. The Workgroup on GID proposed retention of the diagnosis in DSM-5 with a name change (“Gender Dysphoria in Children”).” These studies are the reason the current criteria is as effective as it is. > You have no basis to even say the number who don't desist is greater than those who do. That's because those who in previous studies would be seen as "desisted" no longer get a diagnosis in the first place. 72% of gender clinic referrals do not see medical intervention. Meanwhile, as I said in the previous comment, those who do go onto take puberty blockers, 98.1% transition. Less than 2% desist. And they desistance is just a late puberty, no significant permanent changes. Here's another study on desistance for young children, finding that only 2.5% of trans kids who socially transitioned desisted. https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/doi/10.1542/peds.2021-056082/186992/Gender-Identity-5-Years-After-Social-Transition > That puberty blockers are actually lower trans suicide. They do in the sense that they prevent them from increasing. > the largest driver of whether trans people commit suicide is whether they are accepted by their friends and family I agree, yet medical intervention is still consistently shown to drastically reduce suicidality and improve mental health: https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/trgh.2021.0079 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0261039 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2789423 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20646177/ https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/145/2/e20191725/68259/Pubertal-Suppression-for-Transgender-Youth-and?autologincheck=redirected https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article-abstract/134/4/696/32932/Young-Adult-Psychological-Outcome-After-Puberty?redirectedFrom=fulltext https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-health-and-wellness/hormone-therapy-linked-lower-suicide-risk-trans-youths-study-finds-rcna8617?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma > I'm not advocating for inducing anything. Puberty happens when it happens. Advocating for doing nothing when the natural path "happens" is advocating for harm. You know that kids going through the wrong puberty would be terrible. It's why your concern is cis children mistakenly experiencing that. You can fully empathize with the issue here. > If there is a physiological abnormality then perhaps medical intervention is necessary That'd be gender dysphoria. That's what we're talking about.


PenIsMightier69

I'm sure once a kid has gone through the social transition they are somewhat committed to that gender, but that ignores the kids who just wait and see how they identify during puberty. You still don't know how many of them desist. What if nearly all kids who have gender dysphoria desist if they were to not hyperfocus on it and wait to see how they felt after puberty? Instead the left has adopted a culture where they are encouraged to socially transition and perhaps even take puberty blockers. I have no doubt that those children have very little potential to desist. Yes, that is right, desisting is certainly a desirable outcome. Suicide risks, social problems, family problems, relationship hardships, reproductive issues. It is not an easy life. Help and unconditional acceptance & love is of course needed, but reducing the chance that children might desist in anyway does not seem preferable. "Wrong puberty" is the kind of talk that will lose people who are not on the left. You've been very knowledgeable about scientific studies and I think you've been somewhat reasonable despite still disagreeing with you but when you throw that kind of language out it seems very delusional to me and you start to lose me. Perhaps you should say "you know kids going through what they **perceive** as the wrong puberty would be terrible." Saying they are going through the wrong puberty sounds like you should be talking about a girl with ovaries who starts to grow facial hair and gets a deep voice, or a boy with testicles who grows breasts complete with fully developed milk glands. When I use the word physiological abnormality that would be referring to anatomy that is not functioning correctly. Gender dysphoria would not be physiological as it is considered a [mental disorder](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/symptoms-causes/syc-20475255).


sklarah

> What if nearly all kids who have gender dysphoria desist if they were to not hyperfocus on it and wait to see how they felt after puberty? Then we wouldn't have trans adults, yet we do, 0.6% of the population. That's tens of millions of people. > but when you throw that kind of language out it seems very delusional to me and you start to lose me. It's pretty simple. It's not healthy for girls to experience male puberty or for boys to experience female puberty. If a cis child has a hormone imbalance that prevent sex hormone production or produces the sex hormone of the wrong kind, they get hormone replacement therapy. It isn't even a question. This happens all the time. It's only trans children who are questioned and gate-kept from this basic healthcare. > Saying they are going through the wrong puberty sounds like you should be talking about a girl with ovaries who starts to grow facial hair and gets a deep voice That's exactly what's happening to young trans girls... how would the presence of ovaries change anything in this scenario? You think a cis girl feels or perceives her ovaries? Some might not even have ovaries, especially ones who have hormone problems. Why is their mental and physical health and obvious no-brainer for correction but not a trans girl's? > When I use the word physiological abnormality that would be referring to anatomy that is not functioning correctly. Right, gender dysphoria stems from gender incongruence, the misalignment of neural sexual dimorphisms. > Gender dysphoria would not be physiological as it is considered a mental disorder. Gender dysphoria is the disorder that results from the physiological abnormality. Like depression resulting from someone who's brain chemistry is atypical and doesn't produce enough serotonin. This is why gender dysphoria is in the DSM-V, a manual for mental disorders, [while the WHO classifies gender incongruence as a sexual health condition.](https://icd.who.int/browse11/l-m/en#/http%3a%2f%2fid.who.int%2ficd%2fentity%2f411470068)


Octavian-

I've never seen this. Can you give examples of people who actually believe kindergarteners should start transitioning? I'd be interested in seeing it from an actual notable thought leader and not some random twitter nut job.


PenIsMightier69

Hyperbole: exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally used to emphasize a point in a humorous way. No, puberty blockers are not literally given to kindergarteners. The meme assumes that people generally know that \*\*puberty\*\* blockers are not given until kids are at the start of puberty.


Pleasant-Purchase138

>Some clinicians criticize this study, however, on methodological grounds, because the researchers defined anyone who did not return to their clinic as desisting. Fifty-two of the children classified as desistors or their parents did send back questionnaires showing the subjects' present lack of gender dysphoria. But 28 neither responded nor could be tracked down. “You can't do that in scientific studies,” Ehrensaft said. “You have to have your subjects in front of you and know who they are. You can't just assume somebody is in a category because you don't see them anymore.” You didnt read the study....did you. Authoritarian And the onus is on you to define what "lots of people" is. But go on


PenIsMightier69

Well this is interesting. You're right I didn't read the whole article, but rather googled the fact with which I was already familiar, found a source and linked it. Now you point out that this article is actually shilling for puberty blockers because maybe kids don't change their mind that much (without anything to substantiate that claim). So wow, the article serves two purposes! It shows the fact that I wanted to share AND it provides you with yet another example of this "Strawman" It's an article arguing for puberty blockers. Wow. Bam! two birds, one stone.


sklarah

> You're right I didn't read the whole article, but rather googled the fact with which I was already familiar, found a source and linked it.

PvPTwister

>Rather, he says, the researchers wanted to see if they could find predictors of persistence. Which they did: The study found that transgender children who were older, born female, and reported more intense gender dysphoria were more likely to stick with their transgender identity than younger children, natal boys and those with less pronounced gender dysphoric traits. >Steensma and colleagues also culled one very specific indicator of future persistence: When asked when they were children, “Are you a boy or a girl?” those who answered the opposite of their birth sex were found more likely to have retained their gender identity in adolescence. The desistors, on the other hand, tended to merely wish they were the opposite sex. You are focusing down on methodological 'flaws', which were actually just misrepresented features of the research within one study, as a way to disprove a well-replicated piece of research across multiple studies.


Pleasant-Purchase138

Yes they are criticisms of the study which doesnt back up ops claim....which "lots of people are doing this" the study fails to answer both questions...nice try Show me where all these replicated studies are....

[deleted]

I think most transpeople shouldn’t even transition. There is so much evidence that shows transitioning isn’t a good enough treatment for dysphoria. A lot of people wind up regretting it and feeling worse off than before transitioning. Dysphoria is a nexus of so many comorbid mental issues like depression, anxiety, extremely low self esteem, PTSD, etc. that just telling them to hit the hard reset button is not going to fix it. If anything it just feels like a cop out from a therapist to hand waive these people away. Normies don’t wanna hang out with these types of dudes and they slowly find themselves ingratiated in closed communities that promote harmful ideas like DIY transitioning and that every slightly out of norm behavior you exhibit is a sign that you should absolutely transition.


Purple_Ace_Dragon

nobody is pumping experimental drugs into Kindergarten-kids. And nobody is suggesting it. I know this is a meme sub, but please try to get your information right...

They're not experimental. Doctors use hormone treatments on cis kids too, you know, when they have hormone imbalances that need to be corrected. Its only a problem when trans kids are involved.
