More from readings: The Dutch clinic was the first one to use puberty blockers and transition teens. However, they screened the kids and not all of them were allowed to transition. They do not start blockers until after puberty has begun because they did a study that suggests that some kids change their mind around 10-13. They also have written against socially transitioning children before puberty because that makes it difficult for the kids who change their mind.
Such an excellent point, and one that is glossed over by activists and others pushing transition. A kid who has been treated as the opposite sex for years is going to be conditioned NOT to change their mind. Dr. Cohen-Kettenis, a “gender specialist” and one of the Dutch researchers, has written this: “What of the gender variant child whose social environment both accepts and encourages an early transition but may be unaware that the child, unwilling to disappoint, has had a change of heart ?”
