Hi Sam, I understand and I appreciate this response. I would not take a child to a young pediatrician or a young therapist right now. I think they have come up in the Woke environment and have likely drunk the Koolaid. Older doctors have seen crazes come and go, like Satanic Panic. "Gender Affirming Care" is a travesty IMO. - LM

3. Experts: We must defeat gender ideology and protect children
"Teaching children to deny biology is maddening. Telling them they get to choose if you're a girl or boy, or both or neither, because they may have been incorrectly assigned an identity at birth, that's a man made idea," said Dr. Miriam Grossman.
Also, sometimes an individual pediatrician - even a a young one :-) - might be great but have hands tied over all this "affirmation" that is required by many states and medical associations.
And, don't get me started on First Female Richard Levine and his promotion of child mutilation. There is a great deal of money being made in pharma and medicine over "gender affirming care". Testosterone is handed out without question to teen girls via Planned Parenthood and have you read about "Yeet the Teet" Dr. Gallagher?
Here is a lawsuit to watch: "Chloe Cole v. Kaiser Permanente"
You could ask your Dr. W. to have a look at the Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans substack: PITT.substack.com There are anguished, frustrated parents motivated by love, not money. I am motivated by love and wanting to see justice done. I'd like to see a few of the worst actors lose their positions and their licenses.
