They should rule out the possibility that her transition is fueled by a treatable paraphilia before treating her with hormones and surgery. - absolutely. There would have been no surgery and no meds. This is the scandal of the 21st Century
And shouldn't all the groups that were founded by women to support other women in birth and breastfeeding stop promoting and even celebrating these confused and delusional women who by accident or design are supposed to be referred to as "pregnant men"? Women who have deliberately undertaken self-mutilating "treatments" to appear as men, who then decide they want to do the one thing that proves beyond all doubt that they are indeed women are clearly psychologically troubled.

There is nothing to "treat." If she wants to chop off her breasts and take synthetic hormones, those are extreme cosmetic choices with known (and unknown) negative effects. These choices are, at best, ill-advised, and, at worst, disastrous for the individuals that choose them. Whatever her reasons for cutting off healthy body parts and injecting unhealthy chemicals into her body, in my opinion, it's all a shame and I feel bad for her - but also resent her "advertising" the glory of those choices (and leaving out all the negatives). The encouragement and exaltation of these decisions and the people who make them is one of the reasons we are so polarized.
I wish someone who can actually get the attention of young people would go on TikTok and tell the truth: there is nothing "authentic" about any of this. It is not a medical treatment. It is a series of extreme body modifications with ill health results and nothing more.
It seems to me it is a sign of a profound sickness in a society when people are confused about one of the most basic and natural facts of life, whether they are male or female. But I think it's the natural result of many societal trends, although even many people who are anti-trans want to see it as divorced from things like feminism and the acceptance of homosexuality.
I have a hunch the tide is about to turn quickly. I predict that within the next year, many laws will be enacted or repealed which, in aggregate, will make it illegal, unprofitable and dangerous to enable the trans cult.
Yes, there are far more reasons than gender non-conformity, ASD/ADHD, trauma and LGB. Thanks for the writeup! This has become a cult and it's indoctrinating vulnerable kids/YA for a variety of reasons.
100% my adult child never once was counseled with a professional on his deep down issues and I truly believe we would not be in this hell of a cult if he was treated with the right person. How can we convince him he needs mental help and not hormones. Praying everyday he sees the truth.
All these doctors care about is how to fill their greedy hands.
Thanks for commenting on this semi-public figure. I wish her blessings for any healthy aspects of her life outside of celebrity status. God Bless.

The social media aspect and attention always muddles the issue.
She so reminds me of my daughter... Except for the posting video part, thank goodness

A curious case indeed. There are so many reasons kids say they are "trans/queer". You captured yet another of many reasons. I also wrote about all the possibliities. https://thetranstrain.substack.com/p/reasons-kids-say-they-are-trans-or

Is there a typo for X account?

I'd love to hear more about paraphilias. What is the cause? Are they a maladaptive coping mechanism or a pschyosomatic disorder?
