Last night was amazing. Small Oscar party with a psychologist there. Thank you Ellen Page, you gave me an "in" and I don't know how it happened but 3 of the people there were like YES, IT'S INSANE! We ranted about what was happening for the rest of the night.
Bonus is one of the attendees is a psychologist who is working with her first teen who is "transitioning" whose parents are worried. I told her everything: Big pharma push, Transmaxxing, grooming, and so on. She asked for a list of resources for the parents, and below is what I composed (many links are specific to our convo).
She was HORRIFIED. It was the most instantaneous and strongest "peak" I have ever seen.
Please feel free if you have additional resources that you think should be included.
Recent studies recommending generally desisting in "transing" children.
1 . This is the newest report to come out of the UK, I have not read it.

2 . I believe this is from one of the leaders in the child/gender fields, below the link to the report are two videos of him presenting his info.

3 . French National Academy Calls for Caution on Gender Reassignment
4 . Sweden also did a complete turn around on their policy with trans kids.

Apparently a lot has happened in Sweden, first they found a hospital was illegally and harmfully prescribing hormone blockers to children and this was done specifically by "gender activists". A journalist exposed it in a documentary. I believe it talks about the danger of Lupron.

Then there was a report that a sudden and stunning decline in children seeking gender reassignment after a documentary aired in Sweden, called Trans Train. I would maybe recommend this being viewed by parents or your client, including the follow up.
Trans Train is a 3 part documentary. They did a Part 4 follow up linked below
Part 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJGAoNbHYzk.
Part 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73-mLwWIgwU.
Part 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3WqLT9NEnU
This is a biased website but it gives a good write up on what happened.

5 . This is the study from Brown University about Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria.
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0202330
This is the statement that shows Brown University attacked the study and made the researcher soften her results quite substantially

Resources for Parents
This is not a specialty area of mine, but this is what I know of. These are primarily forums for parents who are very concerned about what is happening to their children. Let me know if there was something else you were looking for. These are not unbiased, FYI.
1 . Genspect is an international alliance of parent and professional groups whose aim is to advocate for parents of gender-questioning children and young people
1 . PITT: Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans. https://pitt.substack.com
2 . Partners for Ethical Care
https://www.partnersforethicalcare.com/materials-for-parents
3 . Gender Critical Support Forum for parents and families
https://gendercriticalresources.com/Support/forumdisplay.php?fid=24
The general recommendation is for the parents to, without reaction, humor new name and pronouns, give zero attention to the "transing" to the child. Basically no reward, positive or negative, also to restrict internet access (the source of the issue).
Questions to address to the client
If he is a straight male, again it is probably due to "failing" as a male or wanting to opt into a more rewarding identity. It is very common for these boys to say they want to be a "girl" only while they are young, and then revert back to male for being middle-aged and older. From my interactions with this demographic, the following is what they struggle with, and will point out if it is true gender dysphoria or if they want to opt in to a "better" existence:
1 . Are you fine with being permanently sterilized, never having biological children?
2 . Can you envision yourself as a middle-aged and old woman? Is this preferable to being a man?
3 . Are you fine with only dating other trans women? (Most lesbians do not date MTF)
4 . How will you feel if you are not considered attractive when you transition or if you never "pass" as a woman?
5 . How do you see your life as a girl, how does it differ from now? (If he is friendless, awkward now, he will still be as a girl, etc.)
6 . How does feeling like a girl differ from feeling like a boy?
7 . What online spaces do you visit regarding this?
Also learning about the medical complications and risks of transition are paramount. They are being actively lied to saying it is a virtually risk-free endevor. Many are shocked to learn they won't grow a uterus, or have to lifetime dilate a constructed vagina, etc.
Misinformation parents/clients are getting
1 . Suicide myth. This number comes from any gender-confused female. Males are not at risk
"statistically, the group most likely to report a suicide attempt is gender-non-conforming females, irrespective of how they identify or their sexual orientation."
https://www.transgendertrend.com/the-suicide-myth/
2 . Gender Dysphoria Bible
This is often used as the definitive text for people transitioning, but it is written by a lay person and gives extreme misinformation and ridiculous made up "scientific" reasoning. For example, "male to female" changes, most are based on sexualized aspects of femininity, and are not physically possible.
Examples:
It will give you a big butt and you will become shorter:
As musculature atrophies, ligament flexibility increases, and weight shifts lower on the body, the orientation of the pelvic bone in relation to the spine and femurs rotates forward. Not by much, only about 10-20 degrees, but enough to cause a change in the alignment of the spine and hips, increasing arch of the back and causing the buttocks to jut out more. The added arch to the back can cause a relative drop in total height, between 1 and 2 inches (2-5cm) depending on pelvic shape.
You will feel like a tiny girl
There is a very frequently reported experience of feeling smaller within the world, even when wearing heels. People taller than you seem to tower over you, and spaces feel larger.
They also claim your hands and feet will shrink
Finger length shortens as ligaments thin and stretch.
And they say your eyes will get bigger, your cheekbones puffier, and lips fuller. Also, magically you have easier orgasms with a partner (which is the opposite for women! And of course, you will get periods
Symptoms vary greatly (just as they do in cisgender women) and typically last for 2-4 days, repeating every 26-32 days (though some report experiencing it every two weeks). This happens independent of medication dosing schedules. The use of a period tracker app like Clue can reveal the pattern.
Cramping in the intestine and abdominal muscles, ranging from a slight flutter in the gut to strong painful spasms.
Bloating and water retention.
Running on estrogen and progesterone activates a gene sequence which instructs the hypothalamus to attempt to cycle ovary and uterine behavior just as it does in female assigned individuals, regardless of the absence of ovaries or a uterus

1 . This is what we are dealing with:
In the UK, young people referred for "gender treatment" has increased from 97 in 2009 to 2,510 in 2017-2018, an over 4,000 percent increase in 10 years.
2 . And these are the quotes I mentioned with the leaders in the trans rights movements (Berkeley Professor, New York magazine columnist, etc. This is the basis of the trans rights movement

I've been using this post a LOT because the links that you have shared with us are SO helpful. I reference this post a TON, and I'm currently watching the Swedish Trans Train documentary. Thank you for this post, it's GOLD!
