“Last month, in a program specifically addressed to medical students, Dr. Johanna Olson, director of the LA Children’s Hospital transgender children clinic, admitted that she has been “skipping the blockers” and placing children as young as twelve directly on cross-sex hormones, starting with her very first patient…
Prior to her work transgendering children Dr. Olson …used her medical credentials to testify against a …platform to lower the voting age. Dr. Olson testified that the brains of those under eighteen were not yet competent for the complex decision making involved in choosing a political candidate. “

A 17-year-old is too immature to vote, but has the wisdom to make a medical decision that will require lifetime treatment, and permanently alter the brain and body.
Ok….
Trans children and adults have to strongly push for a diagnosis. It is not easy. If parents or doctors pushed children into identifying as transgender when they are simply non-conforming, that would definitely be child abuse, but there is no evidence that this happens
Doctors have been diagnosing GID in kids as young as 18 months.
The doctor this article is about, Johanna Olson, is administering HRT to adolescents, sterilizing them, in defiance of WPATH standards, and she claims that no child ever changes his/her mind about transitioning. Excuse me if I don’t believe your claim that it’s hard to get a diagnosis, especially in Johanna Olson’s office.
From the Daily Mail article that you link here (which says children as young as three are “receiving treatment” in the UK):
“Children and adults who believe they are the opposite sex are said to have a condition known as gender dysphoria. Scientists think it is caused by the abnormal development of the baby in the womb, as a result of either genetics or hormones.”
What? What? How can a major daily paper in the UK not even mention the established research that most gender dysphoric children outgrow it and become gay, lesbian, or bisexual adults? I’m just some blogger and it was easy enough for me to find that information. It’s what I harp on practically every time I post. Are all these reporters just lazy, or are they on the take?
