I have a friend whose daughter came out as trans around the same time as mine, they were both twelve. I immediately Googled "Why the F%^$ did my daughter just tell me she was trans?" and found Stella and Sasha and Wider Lens and Genspect and Do No Harm and PITT. She (I must assume) Googled "How do I support my trans child?" and is now administering puberty blockers and crying over the lost possibility of grand children. I cannot fault her for wanting to support her child, I can barely fault her for going along with all the experts assuring her that WPATH knows best and it's all settled medicine that's saving lives. I asked my friend once, before they acceded to blockers, if she felt her daughter fit the ROGD profile and she HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THAT because inexplicably, the entire world has gone mad and believes the trans activists when they say that ROGD couldn't possibly be true and is a transphobic conspiracy theory that is "literally" killing trans children. Even after my awkward conversation with her, she continued to go to the endocrinologist and is still slowly but surely walking down the path to sterilizing her own child.
