About transgenderism in children. Parents and professionals are raising their concerns, since it's irreversible and the child is mutilated for the rest of its life (unable to have children, or to be fully a man or a woman). For instance: professionals are threatening parents with the sentence: "Do you want a dead daughter or a live boy?" (Or vice versa). But studies show that the suicide risk increases with transition - not that transitioning a child to the opposite gender is the only solution to identity problems/gender disorder. One documented side effect of puberty blockers is depression. There is no scientific evidence that 'gender affirmation therapy' is a solution.

@tanjaostman yes. The increased suicide rate after transgender surgery is extremely well known and documented...ignored, too, sadly! As is the fact that the idea of being the wrong sex is very common during puberty, and disappears on its own if left alone if it does occur

Feelings are not facts...something hunger disproves every time we feel it after a big meal and spot the desert trolley

@Berrybunchfamily well put! Thanks for the comment! Yes, it's common with confusion during puberty... it's so sad that the confusion is encouraged!

@tanjaostman the suicide thing is equally true with lesbianism and homosexually...affirming it does not reduce any [already existing] risk of suicide
