This just demonstatrates how vulnerable teens can be so easily influenced by social media and trans pressure groups into believing that they are trans when really they are just gender nonconforming and / or are struggling coming to terms with their sexuality.

I worry so much about this. All the scientific papers I've seen suggest the majority grow out of dysphoria. The Trans Activists dismiss this out of hand, with seemly no proof.
I've seen them say "people don't change their minds" on a thread posted by someone who HAD flaming changed their mind.

It's like ARGHHHHHH. It was like the detransitioning person was invisible.

To me, adults can do whatever they want to their bodies. Their choice. But children are not adults. Some trans Activists seem to only care about self validation, they don't seem to care at all about what's ultimately right for the child.
Leave children to grow and then make a decision.

Another interesting story here:
www.transgendertrend.com/lesbian-detransitioner-must-question-primary-solution/

If you look at the Tavistock website, they give very clear advice to professionals working with gender confused children:

"Young people’s identities are developing throughout adolescence and into adulthood, and some people decide that they would like to express their gender identity in lots of different ways, which may change over time. Keeping options open is important to allow a young person to feel able to change paths if they want to".

I am not sure why they aren't shouting this advice more loudly, but I expect because of the immense power and weight given to TRA's and campaign organisations like GIRES and Mermaids. It certainly isn't the message that is being taken on board by the mainstream media or by schools.

That story is so sad, it seems bullying often plays a part in these situations. And the advice from Tavistock is bang on. That should be the primary narrative. Sad
