TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The mother of a transgender girl sobbed in federal court Wednesday as she contemplated having to move away from her Navy officer husband to get health care for her 12-year-old if Florida's ban on gender dysphoria treatments for minors is allowed to take affect

The woman, who testified as Jane Doe to protect the identity of her child, said her daughter went from being anxious and upset to a thriving, happy straight-A student after being allowed to live as a girl about eight years ago, a decision she made with her husband after multiple visits to their family's doctor.

But as the girl approaches puberty, she fears she will start turning into a boy. Without treatment, she and her family will be devasted, the mother said

Yes... Plenty.

However... they have all bought in to The Message. Reality, ethics, and integrity be damned...

If it is possible to give therapy to Adam, to make him as Eve, and vice versa, is it not possible to give therapy to Adam, to keep him as Adam, and vice versa?
Why is not anything else malpractice?

The child is a boy and has been ever since Daddy made the mistake of “sticking it in crazy”.

Follow the Science!

I am not clear how this is not related to body dysmorphic disorder, recognized as a mental health condition characterized by an unhealthy and excessive preoccupation with one's physical appearance. Treatment for that is usually cognitive behavioral therapy and antidepressants. If someone were anorexic, we wouldn't be telling them we support their perceived fatness and recommend gastric bypass surgery. Maybe I am missing something.

I think that she would be able to receive support for her child in the form of mental health counseling, just not be able to cut off his genitals while still a minor when the child cannot legally consent. Also, if the child is only 12 and this began 8 years ago, the mother probably had a lot to do with the gender confusion.

Fags and trans wont have kids, wef population control?
Trans creates a lot of perpetual profit for pharma.
Kids want to be famous, so chop off your dicks for lots of clicks.

But as the girl BOY approaches puberty, she fears she HE will start turning into a boy.

Nature is funny that way.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Unbelievable isn’t it.

This boy has been pretending to be a girl since Age 4. And has been enabled by parents and school and others in the delusion.

And now they wonder what will happen when he goes through male puberty.

Things definitely change when you go through puberty.

It’s amazing that we are compelled to pander to mental illness.

I know that all the LGBT people are considered special and we are told to celebrate diversity. Gender dysphoria is officially considered a mental condition by the mental health professionals. Do we Pander to and enable, any other officially recognized mental health condition?

Human beings don’t turn into one gender or the other at age 12. That is taken care of at conception.

[antidemoncrat]

Does this stupid woman realize she is engaging in child abuse?

[Organic Panic]

“Gender Dysphoria” is not treated by butchering a healthy boy and filling him up with powerful drugs. The first step is to get this boy as far away from his evil mother as possible.

[HamiltonJay]

These people are insane... and her Navy husband needs to grow a pair.

[bgill]

The child is XY not XX so there’s no “turning” involved.

The kid decided when he was 4 that he was a girl. Bet he also decided he was a puppy, Spiderman and a lion in the same week but mommy dearest latched onto the girly stuff so she could play dress-up on him. What 4 year old knows anything about the biology of the two genders?

[metmom]

Poor baby.

And poor kid. What a selfish piece of work who gave birth to that poor child. Sad for the kid to have that mother.

[Chgogal]

AP, stop your propaganda crap. What country allow this diabolical treatment on children? MSM is evil.

And the child went from being anxious and upset to a thriving, happy straight-A student after being allowed to live as a girl about eight years ago. Straight A’s in pre-school? Bullsquat!

[Carriage Hill]

“... said her daughter went from being anxious and upset to a thriving, happy straight-A student after being allowed to live as a girl about eight years ago ...”

So IT was a boy, originally?

I’m so confused by all this dumbassed sh*t.

[No name given]

Exactly, he is just a boy pretending to be a girl.

[No name given]

That’s right.

[Dragonspirit]

I still call it child abuse.

[vpintheak]

Oh boo-flipping-hoo! SO the entirety of society has to change because of a few freaks. No. Nope. No way.
I feel like leftists are degenerate scum and their ways are destroying the healthcare system. So therefore, leftivism is no longer allowed. So there!
