Frantic Liberal Writes Warning to Democrats: This "Trans" Mania You're Wrapped Up In Is Destroying Children

Laura Wiley Haynes @haynes_wiley

Attn: Democrats!

We are not in reality about "trans kids."

I am a CASA (Leftie/ Dem/atheist). I am neck deep in the population who is declaring this ID. And I know too much!

THREAD ON 'trans' kids:

1. It is important to know that as recently as 15 years ago, ALL kids claiming to be in wrong body were given therapeutic support and time, to address the MORE LIKELY issues that often underlie a child feeling miserable/ out of place in their body.

2. 90% of kids given this approach OUTGREW their GD with no meds. 2/3 of them were GAY in adulthood.

Rapid 'affirmation' tells youth they *need* hormones and surgery because they *ARE* trans. Given the above, 'affirming' is basically GAY conversion therapy.

3. 80% of trans IDd ALSO have **two or more** mental health disorders, on top of Gender Dysphoria. Common: ASD, PTSD, Depression & Anxiety....& these conditions PRECEDE idea of "being trans." Kids who have these disorders are very unhappy, impulsive & seeking relief. Some are abused and abandoned.

Foster youth ID as trans at FIFTEEN TIMES the % of kids at large.

This demands we DO NOT reify the presenting 'gender' problem but look at the whole child and their mental health needs prior to labeling them/medicalizing them.

4. "Affirmation" supposes that kids are NEVER Wrong about their 'gender identity.'

That's opposite of reality! Kids make mistakes!

5. Affirmation = "You're actually a boy! ok!" = Step 1 in cementing this as 'reality.' Step 2 is puberty blockers, and Step 3 is cross-sex hormones.

1+2+3 = A STERILE child. One who may never orgasm! With ruined physical health!

UNJUSTIFIABLE, when 90% **outgrow** this!

6. The suicide fears used to browbeat parents into unquestioning support are LIES.

When control group has AS MANY MH DISORDERS as the 'trans ID ' group, the suicide risks are identical.

EG the risk is from the depression/PTSD/Trauma history not the Trans ID.

The moment Trans is affirmed, these OTHER issues (which DO cause suicidal thoughts) get IGNORED. They get attributed to 'how hard it is to BE trans.' BS!!

This is rank dereliction of duty of care to struggling kids. It is indefensible and negligent.

7. Puberty blockers + cross sex hormones not only sterilize child. They leave boys with micro penis. They often cause girls to need hysterectomies in 20's. Bones do not get stronger, brain development is affected. Cancer and heart risks rise. They need hormones for life.

8. Long term effects are not well-known, but in the countries in Europe who have begun to track them, they have pulled back from medicalizing children due to significant issues, such as osteopenia in 11 year olds!

This is EXPERIMENTAL and UNPROVED Tx!

NOT BENIGN!

Democrats:

We cannot defend confusing/ sterilizing/ maiming kids who would have outgrown TG if simply supported emotionally.

It is indefensible!!

We must course correct... Yes, respect and support all kids, WITHOUT diagnosing or reifying transient claimed identities.

"Trans kids rights" must include:

The right to be protected from impulsive and dumb permanent choices.

The right to appropriate trauma care.

The right to fertility and orgasm in adulthood.

The right not to be wedged away from parents by well-meaning activists

A few added thoughts.

I think most people, left and right, have thought about this issue *barely at all*.

T was force-teamed with LBG. T has nothing to do with sexual orientation but by making it "LGBT" many people have assumed it is LIKE sexual orientation and innate.

Ppl think, "well, if kid was born that way, if the parents & doctors approve it..." not realizing "affirmation" is dogmatic/immediate/little scrutiny. They think "don't attack kids for being different."

This describes virtually EVERYONE who is not an activist on this issue.

JK Rowling shared a video of this clinical psychiatrist talking about the perils of "affirming" kids' momentary identification with a faddish identity:

A trans extremist immediately shouted the Bullet Point Robot Talking Points at her, ignoring what the actual expert had stated in order to get back to the extremist trans ideology:

No, they're really not, and it's important to say so, so that deluded children will not falsely believe they can change their sex with some hormones and some strategic surgical amputations.

Of course, JK Rowling's life was then threatened by yet another mentally-ill lunatic transgender extremist:

Twitter has taken no action against the little toxically male psychotic.

The Babylon Bee gets locked out of their accounts for saying that men are men, but a "trans" person -- a violent male -- can threaten the life of a woman and Twitter just says, "She deserves that."

You can't stop trans people from threatening the lives of others-- or they'll kill themselves! I guess that's the logic, huh?

Michael Knowles interviews a detransitioner. This is an interesting interview.

The detransitioning girl notes that trans extremists -- "counselors" and those who staff gender transition clinics, many of whom are themselves trans and have a vested interest in "discovering" as many trans kids as possible -- put her through the very briefest of questionnaires before proclaiming, quote, "You are the ideal candidate for transitioning."

She was prescribed a low dosage of testosterone, to check to see if she could tolerate it.

This young girl, no expert or doctor herself, suggested that she take the maximum possible dosage of testosterone, because she had "wide hips" and therefore could probably use an extra strong dose of masculinizing hormones.

The "doctor" at the clinic immediately agreed with this confused teenaged girls' off-the-cuff self-diagnosis -- accepting, without question, the "wide hips mean you need more testosterone" theory just proposed -- and immediately upped her dosage, right on the spot, to the maximum level allowable by law.

She also says that confused young girls, who often are just suffering from anxiety and depressing, are fed a "fantasy" that suddenly their lives will become magical if they just juice up with testosterone.

These are the Groomers -- yes, groomers, NeverTrump -- who we are sending children to.

And the groomers say we have to groom 'em when they're even younger:
