This is an amazing essay. I am both a mental health provider and the mother of a trans identified young woman. Thank you for your courage to speak out. I have shared this to the professionals in my field that I am connected to and urged them to pass it on to their contacts as well. Many will learn from you, hopefully changing the tide. Thank you so much. Be proud.
