No surprise that you received no reply. My daughter's pediatrician flatly refused to accept a copy of Irreversible Damage as a gift. FLAT. OUT. REFUSED.

Excellent letter! One thing- near the end where you say “Imagine if…” and how your child claiming the opposite gender identity would turn your world upside-down, I think it should say that wanting hormones and surgery would turn your world upside-down. Kids want weird things all the time. If they mention of gender transitioning itself is mind blowing, you sound “trans-phobic,” but you aren’t. Being clear and avoiding being misconstrued is important. The advocates will latch onto anything to debunk you.
