We are going through this with our 9 year old granddaughter. We've been told she's at risk of suicide if we don't use her nonbinary pronouns. As an epidemiologist who has investigated and helped overturn similarly entrenched medical misinformation I am heartbroken. Best short article that conveys the travesty of "Gender-Affirming care for kids": See in "The Free Press": ‘Gender-Affirming Care Is Dangerous. I Know Because I Helped Pioneer It.’My country, and others, found there is no solid evidence supporting the medical transitioning of young people. Why aren’t American clinicians paying attention?
Get her out of her environment, in person and online! Move to another state or country that isn't as psycho if necessary. She's still young enough to be deprogramned! This poison now starts in elementary schools! No need to be heartbroken yet- you still have a huge fighting chance to save her! 🙏
Well, there’s always the possibility of money. In other countries which have shut down their treatment centers, the government provides the budget and fast growers of budget eaters do become noticed. Not so in the USA where laws are in place to make it illegal for insurance to not pay.
I believe significant liability from coming lawsuits against the hospitals, clinics and physicians will be the only way to arrest the spread of children under 18 years getting irreversible treatment. When the first one is won by a complainant alleging maltreatment via mastectomy or reproductive reassignment surgery when they were young teens, a flood will hit the so called health care providers.
Have you discussed the situation with the parents of the 9 YO? A united action is best, and one that DOES NOT AFFIRM is shown to be the most effective.
Personally, I wouldn't even bend over backwards avoiding using pronouns with a 9 year old. A 9 y.o. child should know her place in the family hierarchy and should not dictate any rules to her parents and grandparents. And there is no better place to build up a bit of tolerance for mild discomfort than in the presence of a loving family. A 9 y.o. is not even a teen or a preteen, she is not even at a stage of individuation when she could be rebelling and looking for more power. The most power she can have is picking an ice cream flavor for dessert.
Dear One, I can’t use a new name because I know who you are. You moved into my heart and soul the moment you were created. I’ve loved you from before you were born and I’ll never stop. You and your Mom and Dad have a very big problem to work through and it may take years and lots of pain for you and them. I’m always here for you and want you to know you can always talk to me about any or all of this. Day or night, I’m available to you. I love you _______ and always will. Grandpa
Excellent question. I am a retired mental health professional. It seems my professions learned nothing from past mistakes like the repressed memory deal. The inmates, here, are running the asylum. Patients allowed to self diagnose and demand whatever they want or they will leave a bad review for someone. Nuts.

This is a power struggle. Your granddaughter is trying to gain power in your relationship by making you say false and evil things.
FInd a way to NOT use pronouns. Just use her name. Don't use a male name.
