I don’t know how to “correctly” treat a kid or anyone that thinks they are trans. And honestly, medication in general freaks me out. So I don’t know enough to comment on what these places are doing and how effective or ineffective it is.
I did used to play with a bassist that grew tits after some serious anxiety meds after 9/11
My whole thing is that when we use isolated incidents to pigeonhole an entire group of people, it’s not a good thing. I don’t believe the trans community wants anything else than to be themselves and feel happy.
A college not far from me is under fire because the health staff weren’t reporting stuff to parents. A girl had multiple suicide attempts, was raped by another student, treated with all kinds of shit and then eventually did kill herself, and the parents weren’t told about any of it.
There are shitty doctors everywhere
