As the mother of a trans child, I am calling GRADE A LEVEL PHD HORSESH!T that trans kids only suffer depression from bullying.
Trans kids have an endocrine issue; the same system that regulates sexual development also regulates the brain’s chemistry. Women with severe post-partum that lose their minds and kill their kids have an endocrine deficit. Trans kids over-produce hormones with equally horrible results.
This stupid creature is supposed to be a doctor? That is a JOKE! I spent years learning about what was happening to my child so I could try to save her. Too late, incurable, a genetic defect from birth. Then I spent more time trying to figure out how to help her deal with all the crazy changes happening to her body, as she was masculinizing naturally.
I am so sick of these freaks trying to brainwash kids. My child’s condition is RARE and hellish and painful. There is not a trans kid behind every blade of grass.
Enough already! Life is incredibly hard for someone with my child’s condition and these monsters are making it worse, not better.
And kids with body dysmorphia in the form of anorexia I’m guessing this “expert” thinks they should be put on a diet and liposuction.
And some rare cases of body dysmorphia where the people think that a body part (usually a leg or an arm) is a foreign object and needs to be removed. (A doctor in England was able to remove an arm from two patients before he was stopped!)
