UPDATE: I am inundated with amazing offers of help! And, hilariously, because I’m on deadline I don’t have time to answer until I turn in my manuscript on Monday night. So will get back to folks then. THANK YOU!

I would think there would be many willing out there, much better suited to this task than myself. But if it doesn’t work out, let me know. I’ve been wanting to find a way to volunteer in the fight to end this madness!

Lisa, you can set up a stored Google Search which automatically notifies you of material being posted according to search keywords, then you can use OpenAI to summarize the articles and construct links without much effort. I use stored Google Searches for a wide variety of keywords of interest. It’s very good. Don’t know if that helps, happy to show you click by click how to do this.

I said the same thing on a on other forum, that providing parents and troubled kids positive help is more productive than fighting people who refuse to listen and resort to endless ad-hominem attacks. The data are clear, the rate of trans/gay in the adult population is the same as with troubled kids, (95% being gay), hormonal and surgical therapies don’t appreciably change survival or quality of life in the long run. Our focus should be on love for the kids, and protection from trans activists and homophobic adults.

I want to help, Lisa. I worry that I am not the best candidate for the job, though. So put me in the same bucket as Andrea D. Someone better might come forward with the time and expertise.

This article is extremely good. It’s the kind of thing, as Lisa often notes, that should be in the New York Times--but instead you have to go across the pond to the London Times. I was too young to transition — now I want to help other teenagers
