Prepubescent "Transgender Activist"

Gender dysmorphia isn't a real thing, obviously

There is no deformity involved here so dysmorphia does not apply. We are talking about either a mental illness, or in this case child abuse.

Whoops, phone corrected Dysphoria into that

As seer's post pointed out research reveals that "Most children with gender dysphoria [not dysmorphia] will not remain gender dysphoric after puberty." This means reinforcing it in a prepubescent child is at the very best foolish. Considering his parent's background it is almost certainly abusive exploitation.

If I were still subscribed to National Geographic, they'd have gotten a cancellation notice after I received that.

Subjective opinion. When you have any real experience with transgender children, let me know.

Subjective opinion.

Hand waving away of legitimate research in favor of an agenda.

It's weird that people are acting like this is a decision being made and not a medical diagnosis. If a nine year old was diagnosed with autism and received treatment and was an autism activist, nobody would be saying that the parents are pulling the strings or that the child can't yet decide to be autistic.

And the most hilarious thing of all is that conservatives here decide they know much better than doctors about this medical topic, and that because they personally have Views on the subject of gender that they are in a position to override the entire medical profession and know what is best for the child.

Ironic considering how one of your fellow travelers just dismissed medical research into the matter as "Subjective opinion"

That's one gross pose they put that poor confused kid in. Child abuse both by his mother, and by the media.

Jim, that was a scientific study, and not the only one. In the past I had posted three such studies. The fact is most kids grow out of this gender confusion in adulthood. And yes it is based on the subjective. It is subjective when a kid says that he is gender confused and it would be subjective when he relates in adulthood that he is no longer confused. But if you take his/her word when they claim to be confused we should take their word when they claim they no longer are.
