The University of Notre Dame on Tuesday hosted a panel of experts who asserted that it is beneficial to young people, even children as young as five, to affirm their gender dysphoria and then to help them medically transition at the right age.
“If a child tells you who they are, that’s who they are,” said J. Dennis Fortenberry, chief and professor of adolescent medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine.
Gender identity is “established fairly early, and it’s resistant to change,” said Stephanie Sanders, senior scientist at the Kinsey Institute and provost professor of gender studies at Indiana University.
The event was held in direct response to a panel critical of transgender medicine hosted last fall by the campus group Students for Child-Oriented Policy. As organizers of the pro-transitioning panel kicked off Tuesday’s discussion, they claimed last fall’s SCOP event was based on “disinformation and pseudoscience.”

Leftist zombies march through another institution....
There are two genders. Biology and Science says so. The already have a class that teaches that. It’s called Biology and human sexuality
These fools should have their medical license revoked and jailed for child abuse. But where are we when the inmates control the asylum? We are doomed.....
Do they crop his ears and file down his teeth?
Oh, and that the boy who wants a Barbie doll?...He wants it to stage a crash with his Tonka Truck.
Very few children are born with my child’s condition, one for which understanding and compassion are warranted.
This affirming approach is dangerous for young people without her condition.
The endocrine system changes several times over the course of ones life. They should not be pushing transitioning on children. Even if they feel predisposed to gender dysphoria due to a hormone imbalance, it usually clears up by 18 to 21 years old.
I had to fight for years to get to the heart of what was happening to my daughter. It wasn’t until my son was diagnosed with NCCAH did the doctors start taking my concerns seriously and did the tests I wanted years prior. By then, it was too late.
Experts!
Buttigig’s father was a professor there.
FRiend, I’m sorry that you’ve had difficulties in this regard with your daughter, and will admit my ignorance of what I would assume are the extremely rare cases when it’s somehow an actual medical malfunction.
Having said that however, the balance of this current ‘transgender’ fad puts me in mind of the mass psychosis of the Salem witch phenomenon writ exponentially large.
That supposedly sane, professional adults are playing pattycake with these misguided kids is, imho, both ethically reprehensible and morally abhorrent.
Sorry, but God created these children as male and female. Notre Dame teachers are wrong.
So when my 4-year-old son told me he was a dinosaur, it turns out the doctors and I had misdiagnosed his species?
It is getting so tiresome listening to people who claim to be functioning adults while they turn the world upside down encouraging mental illness.
Bingo. Well said.
The school responsible for giving us Mayor Pete.
Amen! However, "gender" is a term that should be confined to linguistics. The proper term is "sex."
There are those who have great difficulty dealing with having been molested.
Pretending that experience should mandate a lifestyle only perpetuates the assault.
You are correct. The medical establishment has gone off the rails, pushing an agenda in spite of science not because of it.
My daughter has non classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and hyperandrogenism, both incurable. In my daughter’s case, she is one of the 12% that also suffer from gender dysphoria and acute depression.
Would not wish this on my worst enemy. I had to fight the system for 2 years to get the proper testing for her, spending thousands of dollars as a result. It was not until my son was diagnosed with NCCAH that they listened. Since there are over 100 variants of this condition, it affected him differently.
While I was trying to save her, all the specialists were pushing transitioning. Now that we know what is causing it, I’m quietly taking steps to calm her endocrine system down so that her depression is no longer intolerable.
Post-partum depression is the result of an endocrine imbalance. Imagine that times 10 along with your body slowly, naturally, morphing into a boy. Then toss that all on a confused teenager.
Pray for these kids. The doctors are failing them.
