"instead of offeringcounseling, medical professionals now are commonly telling children that they may have been “born in the wrong body.” This new approach, called “gender affirmation,” makes gender dysphoria less likely to resolve, pushing children down the path toward irreversible medical and surgical interventions. If aggressive transition options are pursued early in puberty, the combination of puberty-blocking drugs, followed by cross sex hormones, will result in permanent infertility."

This is such a rational well argued article. And read the comments as well.

"To summarize, a lack of understanding regarding the distribution of sex-related personality and behavioral differences has led to confusion that impacts children who fall at the extreme tail-ends of the distribution, and who would be statistically more likely to grow up to be gay, lesbian or bisexual adults if allowed to experience uninterrupted puberty. Additionally, telling a child that he or she was born in the wrong body pathologizes “gender non-conforming” behavior and makes gender dysphoria less likely to resolve.

The fact is,no child is actually born in the wrong body. Adults should expand their understanding of what normal male and female behavior and preferences look like—which would lead them to appreciate that being male or female comes with a wider range of personalities preferences, and possibilities than old stereotypes would have us believe."

Honestly why can't they just leave children alone?

It makes a lot of sense. The frustration is that so many won't give it the time of day.

Yes people are mindlessly virtue-signalling their consent to the sterilisation and medication of perfectly healthy gender-nonconforming children.

If it's not peer reviewed people won't take it seriously is my experience on here sadly.

OP is talking about an article not a study.

Don't be such an obvious GF LordRandallXV.

Very clear article, thanks for sharing. It seems so common sense, it's difficult to understand how saying it has become taboo.
