I believe we need a mental health renaisance. It is not enough for people to simply talk about the mental health aspect of what it means to go through gender dysphoria. I also believe any patient undergoing surgery, even life saving surgery, should be offered the chance to meet with a therapist. I underwent 2 c sections, it changed the way my body felt and functioned, eventually I even cared what it looked like. My son needed open heart surgery, That is a very large scar, which he has always been self conscious of. These are cases of life saving surgeries. I want these children to grow up healthy and whole. I think elective surgeries, including face lifts and nose jobs, should require one therapy session, to explore what they want to achieve with this, if the result is not met how will it affect them, what will they do, explore the topic. I am not trying to gatekeep anyone who is transgender, I am just so terrified kids over the years of lockdown have really fallen into folie a deux (shared delusion, not that being transgender is a delusion just the definition), in a desperate need to be accepted and fit in. Some of the older transgender individuals tried to voice this concern over the past 5 years. My daughter had maybe a 250-270 graduates at her high school she had more than a dozen classmates who were identifying as transgender by the time she graduated. I live in a town of less than 10K people, the statistics are WAY off for our town, the entire world. Either that or every generation in pertuity has been lying to themselves. Let kids be kids. We need to do better to support kids who may be struggling with identity, but we need to stop confusing the children. Just let them explore and be kids. Before the internet made it for everyone to see little boys WOULD wear dresses and play dress up with the girls occasionally and then the girls also went outside and climbed trees and got dirty, it was called taking turns in play, and including everyone.
Being transgender and utilizing gender medicine is about what body you want to live as an adult. As time goes on, fewer options are on the table as hormones really don't work well after 25. If a male hasn't figured out to restrict protein and calories, a sour awakening will occur during the late teen years when attempting transition. Most who were gender dysphoric grew out of it because of shame and the fact puberty destroyed any neutrality they had. We deserve better; let us transition.
@@DorianPaige00 I would be fascinated to read the research that indicates people "grew out of it" because of shame, this is misinformation, the truth is that their brains finished developing. If guilt was the case, as you suggested, then we would have scientific peer reviewed research articles about the alarming number of individuals suffering from gender dysphoria beyond mid-twenties unsubscribing from life. This simply isn't the case. My heart breaks for anyone enduring what I can only imagine as the most unsettling time in their lives. Now that affirmation surgeries have been streamlined into a faster process in the last 10 years, we are now seeing an alarming number of people coming out as detransitioners. These people are NOW living with shame, regret, health issues for life due to hormone replacements. Rather than confusing children, who are naturally fluid in gender until puberty, I believe it's up to the professionals and adults to identify children who are struggling with this issue and offer them the assistance they need to access the proper resources for transition,. In conclusion you are correct, you deserve better, but so do the people who were misled when they were only fluid in gender, or it was their sexuality and not gender which was the trigger for the dysphoria to start with. I hope you have been educated and received the support you need to explore what you hope affirmation surgeries will accomplish and what you will do if you still feel the same even after surgeries, or what if surgeries lead to life long complications, as they have with other individuals. My thoughts are with you and anyone undergoing this.
This is very interesting, i have heard of parents having Munchousin by proxy. Sometimes I see moms transition their 2 year olds and I think, a baby doesnt really understand that kind of stuff, some of these kids are just so young.
As a transgender woman currently studying to become a Forensic Psychologist in the UK, I really appreciate you making this video, it’s not something I have ever thought about until now. I would like to speculate a bit on the chances of the seemingly quite rigid requirements for one to experience true gender dysphoria to change one day in the future as we research more and definitions change. Can you see the symptoms becoming less rigidly defined in the future? I can only speak for my own experience but I’d say I’ve gone through phases and waves of significant stress and hurt for being in my body, but that doesn’t even begin to tell the full story. Also I would maybe look at the chances of a parent being accused of projecting their own ideology onto their transgender child, or something to that effect with some caution. I’m all too familiar with the concept of demonising someone for wanting to support someone of a minority group. So that’s something maybe to consider. I love the idea of giving both parents psychological assessments to see if one is projecting their own biasses more than the other. Because there is just as good a chance if not more with today’s current moral panic that one parent is transphobic or ashamed or whatever. I know my parents never would have accepted me as a trans child no matter what the circumstances. Not a chance. Anyway, please keep this channel going! You’re such a massive inspiration to me and I love learning from you!
Thank you for your wonderful enlightening comments and sharing your experience! The question of the symptoms of Gender Dysphoria becoming less rigid in the future.... I am not sure what will happen. Obviously, we have had transgender people around since as long as we have had people around. But, the good empirical research on the nuances of transgender kids is still in it's infancy - in my opinion. I like when you used the word "caution" when looking at the accusation of a parent pushing a child to be transgender. Absolutely, because supporting a child struggling with GD is hugely important. Unfortunately, in the court battles, this accusatory stance is what we are seeing and what the court is trying to deal with all the time. A lack of understanding of GD and transgender is at the heart of this. And, the current moral panic you reference fuels this as well. Again, thank you for chiming in! 🙂
Great video! One thing to ponder. You call the over diagnosis an emergent trend. Really it is a large scale social engineering operation that could not be more nefarious. This ideology comes straight from UNESCO (The United Nations) and has become ubiquitous throughout every institution by design (albeit with the help of hordes of useful idiots whose intentions are noble and even admirable; yet misguided. This agenda is designed to break the nuclear family structure, shut down dissent and free speech (hate speech laws outlawing objective assertions about reality which can be applied unequally targeting political dissidents or other threats to the establishment) it’s also meant to lower birth rates as well as breakdown our very human identities so that we more willing accept the in coming transhumanism. There are many other reasons this is happening but it goes much deeper than simply an emergent trend!
Hello, I am also a psychology student and I am curious how you personally feel towards children going through medical procedures to change their identity. Being both a student of psychology and transgender yourself self you have a unique view point. Thank you, Kathy
@@kathym6669 Hey Kathy. Despite having somewhat of an authority on the subject being trans and all, I will just say that I don’t have all the answers because it’s a super complex topic with a lot of misunderstandings but I will try my best to answer. I assume you mean sex reassignment surgery? My personal opinion would be the child should wait until they’re 18, or maybe 17 in severe cases. Something I would point out is that minors generally do not go through these procedures and the whole “They’re butchering our children” is just another reminiscent call back to the “Homosexuals will convert your child” in the 1980s. Children are often used as emotional leverage to undermine a minority. Their claims can be debunked with a simple fact check. Sex reassignment surgery is incredibly difficult to get regardless of your age and it’s extremely rare anyone under 18 has ever had it. If you went and visited some kind of Gender Affirmation Surgery Centre, you wouldn’t find a bunch of 10 year olds in the waiting room. In the UK it’s a 5 or 6 year waiting list if you want HRT alone, even longer for SRS. And privately, SRS will cost between 12k-20k. Also you need to be seen by two separate psychologists who can assess your mental state before undergoing the surgery. It’s not a laid back process at all, which is why people kind of eye roll at the claim that children get offered the surgery when it feels damn near impossible to get as an adult. Anyway, sorry for rambling, I hope this helped!
I've seen enough videos of people detransitioning, that I don't think the life-altering decision to change genders is a decision for a minor (or their parents). It can be carefully considered - but adults only. The mother you mentioned in the video that is having her 5-yr-old male child live as a girl, should get a lot of counseling herself and perhaps lose custody.
Kids don't do anything major to 'transition.' They change their clothes, hair and how they're talked about. There's nothing life altering about it. Worst case the kid decides it's not for them and knows their parents will love and support them no matter what. And they end up with a wardrobe they may not need.
it’s not exactly true that children who transition don’t make any permanent changes to their body and only make wardrobe changes. Puberty blockers are frequently prescribed which can effect a whole host of bodily changes such as bone and genital development and growth.
My brother wanted to be a girl when he was under age 5. He had two older sisters and there were no older boys in the area. As soon as he went to kindergarten and met more boys he changed his mind. I don't think young children should be pushed one way or the other. When they get older they will be more sure if they are trans or not.
@@savvygood Yes, puberty blockers and I've also heard of cases of hormones and even surgery. It's bad news. I'm not that opinionated when it comes to adults, I'm kind of live and let live, but I have a serious issue with all this for minors.
Ken Zucker was psychologist you cited but he believed in the "live in your own skin only approach." Gender dysphoria "cures" itself because few males over 6' are going to attempt a gender transition. Problem solved! Lights out! What I'd like to explore is the 20 fold incarceration rate that natal males have verse females. That's not all nurture and social construct but comes from changes in the brain during male puberty. Maybe once Tanner 3 has begun we can get a sperm sample from the patient and let anyone off who is male who wants off the testosterone train so they can either live as a transwomen or a eunuch (adult boy) like I do.
Great video. It sounds like you are on the right track to me. Everyone definitely needs to take a step back and slow down. Also no puberty blockers should ever be used for Trans identifying children. Everyone should experience puberty as the sex they were born as. I've seen enough detransitioners testimonial videos to understand that puberty blockers are doing irreversible damage to children. People can still choose to transition after they are 18. Once someone is an adult they can choose to do whatever they want. To many peoples bodies and lives are being ruined and destroyed at this point. ☮️🖖
@@michrae_j I gotta hand it to you, I do on some level respect someone that can admit their opinion is based solely off their feelings and nothing else
News flash / fact: you're born male or a female. This dysphoria BS. They're just unhappy with the gender they were born as. Stop telling them they can be whatever sex they want, that's not possible. You can do surgery and take hormones to change yourself to look more likely the opposite sex, but you're not really changing into the opposite sex. You Can't change your DNA molecular structure chromosomes and genetic makeup, you can only change your appearance. I'm white but now I'm gonna identify/ believe that I'm Mexican. I dye my hair black, tan, and speak Spanish. All I've done is change my appearance. This is the same thing with trans. Here's another example,: you're trans. You go out hiking in very remote territory. You die and no one finds you until you rot down to just a skeleton. The autopsy will show your gender as what you were born as, not what you believe you transitioned to.
I'm not sure how you manage to use both the terms "sex" and "gender", implying you are aware of the difference, but then go ahead and write this completely nonsense comment anyways.
I think this kind of discussion about the epidemiology has to take into account that there hasn't been much useful or unbiased research about transgender people. A lot of transgender people also don't realize they're experiencing dysphoria until they experience the opposite (gender euphoria). I have friends who made it to their late 30s just assuming everyone felt the same way they felt. I've known since I was 8 or 9 but didnt know how to express it until I was 20. I think a lot more research needs to be done and needs to be done well. But I dont have any faith that anyone is willing to do that. You don't mention what transition for kids of different ages looks like or anything that helps people get a well-rounded opinion of the reality of the situations. If a five year old thinks they're transgender for a while and then decides its not for them. Literally no harm is done. If they are transgender and dont get support, harm is done. As you said, identity exploration is normal for kids. If kids decide to explore changing how they present, then let them be normal.
Also, I'd love to know your rationale for misgendering the kids in your stories. I think the best thing to do is to respect how they identify at any given point. I'm certain they aren't watching this but it sets a bad example for people who may watch this and have no experience with talking about transgender people. I don't care if a kid explores their identity and decides that's not what they want. But if they're doing that they should be respected regardless of how we feel about their decision. Don't you think?
That comparison in your second to last paragraph really depends on what you define as support. If a child identifies as transgender, is put on puberty blockers or hormones, and later decides they are not trans, harm is definitely done. So it really depends how those around them react.
You are a little sneaky psychologist. You say that there has to be enough turmoil with their natal sex but because of that turmoil, it would be too much of an issue for them to transition. The Kentucky law was written this way in that if a youngster threatened to off himself, he'd get treated. Most psychologists then would not treat with hormones as patient is too mentally unstable. You still wouldn't back someone like myself who just didn't want male puberty but still identified as male. Maybe it was for the better since back then, they only allowed puberty blockers until 16 and then estrogen. That most likely would have made me taller which I in no way wanted since estrogen is the hormone that curtails growth. So starving out male puberty is a pretty effective solution and us transactivists will go back to using it as it's surefire effective with or without cross hormones.
@@justasoul3148 I identify as an adult boy which is a eunuch who keeps all of his youthful traits into adulthood by going through castration and low dose estrogen. I've taken on the name "Dorian" after the Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. And ironically "Paige" is my last name. The growth and bone structure can be affected by hormones but the Y chromosome will give one a male skeleton and shape. Puberty blockers or a castration in youth would leave one about 3-6 inches taller than if male puberty were to play out naturally. If you do blockers, estrogen should be an option as that curtails height growth up and out. Cutting protein in half and calories by 1/3 will curtail growth for those who want to move in the trans-feminine direction.
