Wow, that was quite the heartless reply from the university president. That stance is probably still the same but WOW. Makes me wonder what else they are heartless about.
Yes, what you get back is dismissive, insulting--with references to your child with wrong sex pronouns. Do universities have form letters to send parents distraught over a recently hatched trans identity, a medicalized identity?
I did not state that "transitioning is undoubtedly the correct course for some". Not sure if the author believes in this statement or thought it necessary to sound like a reasonable, nuanced, liberal parent.
Sadly, we all learn that there is no reasoning with people or institutions that embrace trans Newspeak.
Meaning that some patients will feel it was the right decision for them. Do you think every single person taking hormones or undergoing gender surgery regrets choosing this route?
Universities are the worst. It is where this was all hatched.
When the PITT substack started everyone seemed to think "other folks are this trans thing and somehow need medicalization but not my kid". Or, maybe they were being "nuanced". The understanding has evolved/become much more clear, I've noticed. I especially appreciated the recent "No One is Trans, Stop the Harm" post.
Our family been in this mess since 4thwavenow.com days so it was a little hard to read comments at first but most have come around to a reality based understanding, rather than assuming that The Narrative^TM must be correct for the most part/everybody else.
The gender studies programs are at the heart of this nightmare. For parents paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to have their kids indoctrinated in Judith Butler’s circular magic thinking their should be grounds to sue these universities. If they cannot teach facts in basic biology and human development they are failing students and society and should suffer the consequences. I lost a kid and her three friends ( no group think there) to the great women's studies program at a prestigious university. Three sets of healthy breasts disposed of along with lots of testosterone leaving three sets of devastated families.
I sent one of these letters (actually 3) to my son’s PhD professors and the director of his program. I was ignored, told on more than one occasion that my concerns would be ignored. I also mentioned to them that there were multiple lawsuits coming and they were not immune. I stated that if anything happened to my kid, I would be one of the parents suing (that was after receiving dismissive emails back).

Umm…medical transitioning should NEVER be done by a University health center meant to treat colds, strep throat and stds…..
And, yet it is. They are only now beginning to dial back for the minors, with a green light for 19+.
I sent one of those letters long ago.

Close them down if they do not change.

Joy I hope you don’t mind my asking but has any harm come to your son and if so did you sue? I’m interested
