I’ve read the entire thing. It has nothing to do with this article

Or with scientific reality

Even if that were true (it isn't) the Biden administration is not a psychiatric, neurological, endocrinological, or otherwise medical or scientific organization, so... doesn't help your case.

PITT was a lifesaver to me and my family in a world where the medical and mental health team we had were pushing transition on my child. How dare you denigrate this safe space for parents to voice their concerns about the

Medicalization of their vulnerable gender nonconforming children. Be better.

Its mostly parents insulting their kids, of course I’m going to be critical of it

That's completely untrue. It's parents coming together to talk about the lack of evidence and social contagion pushing their kids into harmful medicalization and sexual dysfunction. The Biden Administration has just come out against transition surgeries for minors. You're behind the times. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/28/health/transgender-surgery-biden.html#:~:text=The%20Biden%20administration%20said%20this,staunch%20supporter%20of%20transgender%20rights.

I literally included a paragraph where a mother calls their own child grotesque

Yes, well parents sometimes feel that way. Are you a parent? Do you think parents shouldn't be able to speak frankly about the feelings that their children bring up? There are many places where parents commiserate with each other about the challenges and struggles of raising safe, happy and healthy childrne.

I don’t think you’re a loving parent if you judge your kid like that, no. Even if you feel that way, loving and compassionate parents move past that response and don’t dwell on it.

Doesnt seem like you know what it's like to be a parent, but I respect their ability to talk to each other frankly about their feelings in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.

Being a piece of shit is optional and you can quit at any time.

My child thanks me every month that she was not allowed to amputate her breasts or permanent deepen her voice. She thinks I’m a hero.

Sure Jan, that's why you're in a support group for transphobic narcissists whose kids won't talk to them anymore

My kid thanks me all the time from pulling her out of harm's way. She now accepts and loves herself as a gender nonconforming fully healed human female.
