False Assumptions Behind Youth Gender Transitions

A recent paper takes on 5 key faulty assumptions behind “gender-affirming” interventions for youth.

The highly medicalized approach to managing gender distress in youth, integral to the “gender-affirmative” care model, rests on several key assumptions. Publications promoting “gender affirmation” of youth fail to explicitly call out these assumptions—or misrepresent these problematic assumptions as proven facts.

Unproven assumption 1. Gender identity, which underlies gender dysphoria, is a fundamental personal characteristic that is biologically “ingrained.”

An Uninformed Moral Subjectivist

This uninformed guy goes from “trans surgeries on minors aren’t happening” to “they are happening and it’s good” in record time.

First, when presented with the evidence, he acknowledges the surgeries are happening on minors. But only, he thinks, after extensive testing and affirmation of their “gender identity.”

Then when he is told people can get surgery recommendation letters at Pride festivals from strangers who say they’ll sign letters for any minor who wants surgery, he falls back on his subjectivist moral stance, a common position today born out of radical individualism. Otherwise known as subjectivism.

People, even minors, should be allowed to do whatever they want to do to themselves. And so we should just “affirm” and presumably pay for the “healthcare”& social maintenance of that delusion.

“If they wanna transition then yeah they should have strangers
sign letters of recommendation.”

I don’t think it is possible to be “born in the wrong body.” I acknowledge that some people are very uncomfortable with their healthy bodies. For a variety of reasons. Those people need talk therapy. Not life-long body altering drugs or surgery.

Gender affirming care is the real conversion therapy.
