PILOT SPIN

I’ll give you the gist of this video if you don’t want to watch it.
Turns out that the science says most children who have gender dysphoria outgrow it and aren’t true transgender after all. Here is a case of a boy who from a young age imagined himself as a girl and talked his mother into giving him her estrogen pills at age 14 to block male development. He lived as female for two years and then at age 16 decided he didn’t want to be female after all. The reason was the reality wasn’t like he had imagined.
Here is an older doctor who’s been around, and knows that the number of supposed transgenders has skyrocketed. He confirms that there are true transgenders, but also there are many more children who go through a temporary phase of gender confusion. He says the statistical likelihood is they are going through a normal phase and will eventually return to identifying with their birth gender.
Therefore if you don’t know which kind a kid will turn out to be, the real or the temporary phase, if you follow the science, the right course is not to begin full transitioning because you end up affecting their development irreversibly. Yes this is bad for true transgenders where it would be best to begin hormone therapy early, but if you had to gamble one way or the other, you hurt fewer by assuming they aren’t true TG. This is according to the science, according to this doctor.
The doctor says the cases have skyrocketed. But if temporary gender dysphoria is pretty common and normal then why didn’t we know about it 40 years ago? Probably because they kept it secret. There was no social media talking about it all the time and you didn’t see it constantly in all ads and shows. Today the kids grow up seeing it, it’s socially acceptable, so suddenly they come out of hiding.
This is something I didn’t know back in the 70s when I had several TG friends. All the ones I knew were true. Maybe some of these are simply cross dressers. Men who are men but just like to dress up in women’s clothing, but often a fetish will exist from an early age, so if these boys realize they like frilly girl’s clothes at age 7, you can easily see how the kid can be confused into thinking he wants to be a girl.
You need to account for all this before you decide to treat all cases as true TG but it has become such a political hot button, like so many things, you aren’t allowed to follow the science but must follow accepted group think. This is turning out to have extremely destructive consequences in the cases of girls thinking they want to be male, which was virtually non-existent 40 years ago, and appears today to be mass psychological delusion.
Females, unlike males, tend to “share” disorders in the teen years. Cutting for example, or eating disorders, teenage females will tend to come up with the same disorder as their friend, and you’ll get a group all coming down with it. There are true F to M trans also but they are extremely rare. More about that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u16nVFDdVg4
Having said all that, the kid in this video doesn’t regret taking the female hormones for a time. He says that’s what he needed at the time. He grew breasts as a result and now plans to have them surgically removed. But he is left with permanent changes in his bones that might turn out to be bad in the long run.
Should hormone therapy for children and teens be banned? As a libertarian who wants government the fuck out of my medical decisions and of what I put into my body (like vaccines, or weed - not saying I smoke it!) my position must be no. BUT that would be in a normal society that doesn’t push propaganda that convinces little kids it’s cool to be TG. Wokeness has created a terrible problem. But are government restrictions the solution?
One bad result of government bans is in this very video. He couldn’t get therapy legally at age 14 so his mother gave him HER estrogen pills. Totally irresponsible, and not under the supervision of an experienced endocrinologist or gender dysphoria specialist! Any time government bans something, people will find a way around it and often that results in more harm.
On the other hand, transition treatment has become a huge moneymaker. I have huge problems legally allowing it in this atmosphere of social wokeness causing so many fake cases. I don’t know what the solution is, because in the meantime there are true cases that do need early treatment.
One thing I know for sure is we need a lot more objective scientific research to sort them out.

Liberals aren’t wired to let something as trivial as nature run it’s course.
They’re too egotistical, low information, distracted by popular culture and political correctness to be concerned with reality.
