Now this was some interesting reading. With such excellent points that I so agree with. Seems the majority of society is unable to differentiate between psychological and medical necessity for our children. My opinions are strictly focused on our youth. My battle is only for Trans children. And I'm so glad that Jo said, "For some young people, could a desire for medical interventions be trying to find a simple solution to really complex problems—or even another form of self-harm?" This is exactly my point. In a nutshell! Thank you, Jo!
Jo's personal situation is only a small percentage of the population. My heart goes out to her because not being honest with a child, only leads to sad consequences. She is one brave woman in my book! Kudos to her for achieving an education in a field that she can help others with similar issues with. Not only with her book knowledge, but her real-life knowledge and experience and heartache. She will indeed be saving lives. Now may the rest of society take a closer look at these kids through the eyes of Jo. Take off our rose-colored glasses.
Trying to "fix" kids with surgery and/or chemicals is wrong on every level. Do not legally leave such permanent decisions up to a child. Personally, I feel it should be 25, when the human brain is done developing. But that's only my opinion. I cannot speak for others. I speak for children being given the ability to change their gender behind the parent's back. These kids are, in essence, being taught by society to keep secrets from their parents. To their own personal detriment that will be a cross they bear for the rest of their lives! Tragic.
Thank you again for covering this. complete Androgen insensitivity syndrome (not to be confused with partial Androgen insensitivity) are female because they are phenotypically and genotypically female and there endocrine system exploits underdeveloped testicles as a source of estrogen. And they're not intersex they're not between sex. There's no intersex condition that's between sex. They're also XX males who are phenotypically males. These are rare conditions that can be explained medically not philosophically. We're having a fight with GC hardliners see https://jameslinehan.substack.com/p/save-womens-sports-is-intolerant?s=w

Thank you Lisa.
Such a profound and simple message here.
Do no harm.
Do no harm.
Do no harm.
For some reason I wanted to write it three times. Maybe it’s a reaction after so much screaming and yelling on the Internet.
Thank you thank you thank you.
