			<description><![CDATA[Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a 15-year old son diagnosed with ADHD, who has anxiety, depression and who recently shared with us that he suffers from gender dysphoria and would like to start hormone replacement therapy. I am looking for a therapist in the Boston area who would work with him primarily on his mental health and would leave for now the discussions about hormone replacement therapy and plastic surgery. I contacted the two recommendations I found on Dr. Miriam Grossman's website, but if someone has other recommendations, I am willing to reach out to other psychologists. <br />
Thanks in advance!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am a therapist who recently stumbled onto the concept of "ambiguous loss" while researching treatment protocols for desisters. This combined with finishing "Lost in Transnation" I  realized my scope should extend to families.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm looking to interview families to help clarify the needs of the transitioned, their families, and the desisters as there will be a massive influx of clientele who realize they were sold a lie. <br />
<br />
I dont need names or any identifying information. You can be entirely anonymous. <br />
<br />
The word of mental health has no idea how to handle this topic except to shame families and pressure the youth. <br />
<br />
Please message me of you'd like to be involved!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Does anyone have experience with getting the school to agree to not use the “preferred” name and use birth name?  We have a 12 year older daughter that just announced last month she is nonbinary after showing NO sign during childhood.  She has been in middle school for 5 months and a part of GSA.  She has already changed her name at school and we want to undo this for now.<br />
<br />
Our position is that we are not rushing to make big changes like name until she has lived in this space for some time.  Her friends may call her whatever they like, but in any formal setting she will use her birth name.<br />
<br />
How should we approach the school with this? How do we make sure this is being unforced?<br />
<br />
Thank you]]></description>

ROGD Male Profile. I posted this to a facebook group earlier and many members said this was an exact fit or very close. Some members said this profile matched their with their girls on most points. <br />
<br />
<br />
1. Age of onset is during teen years.<br />
2. Did not display gender non conforming behavior prior to “coming out” as trans.<br />
3. Little or no interest in girl things after coming out as trans with the exception of wanting to dress, be addressed as a girl and physically transitioning to female.<br />
4. Grows out hair.<br />
5. Attempts to enlist parents as allies or manipulate parents to the end of facilitating transition.<br />
6. Pre-occupation with hormone replacement therapy (HRT).<br />
7. Parents had no prior hint the teen was trans or homosexual.<br />
8. Smart. Academically talented.<br />
9. Good at mathematics.<br />
10. Little or no interest in competitive sports.<br />
11. Socially awkward, soft spoken.<br />
12. Sexually inexperienced/ inmature for their age.<br />
13. Displays no or little interest in sex aside from stating a sexual orientation.<br />
14. Self identifies as homosexual or bisexual.<br />
15. Pychological comorbidities: anxieties, depression, autism spectrum, ADHD, OCD, for which therapy has been sought.<br />
16. Recent crisis challenging sense of identity: recent falling out with friends, breakup, failure at school, etc.<br />
17. Very active online/ on the internet via forums and gaming.<br />
18. Has at least one trans friend.<br />
19. Spends a lot of time isolated in room.<br />
20. Interest in anime (Japanese cartoons).<br />
21. Interest in cartoon porn and/or hypno-sissy porn.<br />
22. Messy, difficulty keeping personal space/ room organized.<br />
23. Resistant to growing up: won’t get driver’s license, holds on to age inappropriate items from childhood.<br />
24. Reticent to discuss trans identity despite placing great emphasis and importance on it.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I have been racking my brain trying to find a therapist who is gender dysphoria neutral- critical would be best, but I cant even find a neutral therapist willing to take on anything that has any inclination of GD and they tell me they can’t take on our family. <br />
I have had extensive conversations with therapists, who deal with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues and I explain how unfair it is of them to not address these issues with my DD. I made it clear to those who were “hands off” how much of a detriment it is to shy away from working on those issues. I got the impression that they were very fearful of being accused of conducting conversion therapy.  I am so confused.  What happened to the Hippocratic Oath these medical professionals took? <br />
<br />
Then I come across this in my search. I am so lost and just don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like we just need to close ranks and weather this storm under some major protection spells. <br />

<br />
A Note About This Letter:<br />
<br />
This letter may be a shock to people who have been assuming that gender dysphoric youth have extensive investigation and evaluation before they are affirmed in their transgender identification.<br />
<br />
We as parents have experienced the lack of mental health evaluation, the immediate acceptance of the youth's self-diagnosis, and the effort to silence and ignore parents’ questions and concerns when the youth's claim does not match the child's life experience.<br />
<br />
The research into what it means when a youth says they are transgender is in its infancy. There is no biological-based diagnosis or proven scientific theories and the clinical evidence evaluating different treatment paradigms is extremely lacking.<br />
<br />
Yet, our children are immediately affirmed in their transgender belief by psychologists, schools are enacting policies to affirm a youth's claim of being transgender without question, schools are preventing the parents from being informed about their child's claim as well as "educating" elementary school children that their gender is a choice that can be medically altered if it doesn't match their "assigned birth sex."<br />
<br />
It's time to bring ethical scientific debate and evidence-based care to our youth.  This letter is meant to aid in that cause in a non-discriminatory, diversity-embracing fashion.<br />
<br />
Our target audience is very broad with the first wave directed to schools and subsequent waves directed to psychologists, media, politicians, and physicians.<br />
<br />
Please consider supporting this letter campaign in any way that you can.<br />
