Who decides when a 14 y.o. wants to change gender? The child, the hospital, the battling parents?

The chromosomes decided a long time ago.

Sarah says the dysphoria has led Max to try to take his own life and engage in self-harm.

That's because "Max" is mentally ill and needs mental health treatment. Enabling this illness is malpractice.

Long-Term Follow-Up of Transsexual Persons Undergoing Sex Reassignment Surgery: Cohort Study in Sweden

Conclusions

Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population. Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group.

The desire to self-harm does not go away after so called sex reassignment surgery, as you say, because the underlying mental illness is still there.

Which reminds me, the Show “I am Jazz” is starting a new Season in a week or two.

Episode One, Wewe wack off surgery...

At least the Mentally Ill Kid waited until he was 18 before being neutered.

Making a decision that young is idiotic, I would say criminal.
The kids hormones have not kicked in yet, he has no clue what he wants to be.

Encouraging anyone under 18 to be transgender should be a crime. More that that, a sex crime. The kind that puts you in a list of sex offenders and gives you an ankle monitor.

It’s all so horrible.

PUBERTY BLOCKERS means Lupron. Lupron has devastating mood and emotional side effects. I could see where it could increase the risk of self harm or even violence. Hormones sometimes cause problems, in which case we seek to balance them. Removing them is NOT THE ANSWER. I believe removing them is even wrong in cancer treatment but oncologists still believe it’s a good treatment.

I think it’s institutional child abuse what we are doing to poor kids already suffering enough from gender dysphoria. They have been brainwashed to believe that becsuse their brains don’t match the gender of their bodies, that “transitioning” will lead to contentment. And it only does in 50% of cases. That is not a good enough treatment to be forced on every patient.

No one decides. There is no such thing as sex “change.” It’s a delusion. Get over it.

God makes the decision at the moment of conception as to which sex you’ll be. XX if male, XY if female.

God’s decision is fixed and cannot be changed, ever.

Those who think sex can be changed should remember that God is not mocked.

There was an article in Lifestenews.com by a doctor talking about the medical and other errors in Jazz’s book. The main thing I remember is girls are NOT born with male brains.

Max is mentally ill and the establishment pushes her along to utter destruction to fulfill their own political desires.

Used to be a time when tomboys took longer to become the outgoing feminine creatures they are - these days toxic transgenderism has them totally screwed up.

That's because "Max" is mentally ill and needs mental health treatment. Enabling this illness is malpractice.

Unfortunately, the mental health community is filled with people who think "Max" should have his way.

The guy who started this whole thing did so because he thought if the body agreed with the brain, then the person would be having fewer psychological problems.

After 25 years, he stopped doing the procedure because the psychological problems these people had did NOT get better.

We need to find a better way to help these people other than mutilating them.

Also, I will throw out the brain studies that came out some years ago. Didn't see them? Well, I'm sure they were deep sixed. It seems that the human brain does not finish making all of the connections it needs to until people are in their 20's. For females, around 24; for males, around 26-28. I contend that such major decisions as cutting off you penis, should wait until you have a fully functioning brain.

if a 14yrold is old enough to make these kinds of decisions, then they are old enough to spend the rest of their lives in prison or be executed for murder too...

Abuse whether mental, emotional, physical or sexual is usually at the bottom of these kinds of desires.

There is no such thing as a "boy brain in a girl body" and by the time she realizes that it is not going to help they will have forced her into changes that can not be undone.

Poor kid.

Several observations:

Doctor Deborah Soh has found that a disproportionate number of “transgenders” if left alone become homosexual adults. Instead of being butch lesbians, they now tell the girl “you’re a man, take hormones”. She’s only tolerated by the left because she’s so pro-homosexuality.

This means that the transgender phenomena is feeding on kids who would be “born homosexual”.

Social contagion theory is finding that this is turning into a cult phenomena. Instead of effeminate boys told they’re girls, they’ve now seeing groups of girls who know each other and are doing it together. Triggered by binge watching videos on it. This is a mania/trend.

It is driven by rather sexist politics. If you don’t fit the strict stereotypes of women and men, maybe you’re really the other sex! Autistics are much more systematic in their thinking and have very low empathy because they can’t read people and don’t immediately respond to their body language.

To liberals with these sexist stereotypes, instead of saying we need to expand our sex stereotypes so that women who aren’t highly empathic and as interested in tech as guys ... you’re really men! I know, I’ve been told this personally more than once by people who think this is a good thing to say ... or that it will make me change my statement that a man with a penis and XY chromosomes is a man though he’s in a dress.

That means that part of the spike in “transgenderism” is hijacking kids who don’t have normal brains but are NOT transgender or even homosexual. Identity politics means the bigger your demographic tribe, the better, so they’re intentionally targeting vulnerable kids to turn into fodder.

The same movement ignores the scientific studies that have found the kids who DO identify as transgender self-rectify 75-95% of the time. That the vast majority of kids who at any point say “I’m the opposite sex” eventually become happy with who they are. It is sometimes due to confusion on gender roles (told that liking sports makes a girl a boy), thinking it will get them more approval from their parents, or as a result of sexual abuse.

That last point isn’t proven in liberal studies because they’ll ignore it. However, given many more homosexuals and bisexuals were sexually abused than normal heterosexuals, we can assume the same abuse/exposure is tied to transgender identification.

Comparative data of childhood and adolescence molestation in heterosexual and homosexual persons.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11501300

Forty-six percent of the homosexual men in contrast to 7% of the heterosexual men reported homosexual molestation. Twenty-two percent of lesbian women in contrast to 1% of heterosexual women reported homosexual molestation.

History of Childhood Sexual Abuse and HIV Risk
Behaviors in Homosexual and Bisexual Men
https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdf/10.2105/AJPH.2005.071423

Prevalence of sexual abuse of homosexual men ranges from 11% to 37%.
74 percent of bisexuals had been sexually abused as children.
