We really need to distinguish gender dysphoria from the conclusion “I feel funny in my body give me hormones”.

And these kids are being egged on by the internet and their own friends.

I would hope before starting any hormonal treatment there should be in place a serious process with both medical and psychological testing.

There isn’t.
A lot of people are under the impression that there is some screening tool out there that the gender clinics use to distinguish the kids for whom this is just a phase from the kids who felt this way from the beginning.

But there isn’t.
 
I would hope hormonal treatment would be outlawed. To take transgenderism seriously is laughable and the damage it does to people, their mental state, and bodies is disturbing. Transgenderism as a movement is disgusting and it must be stopped. Those that suffer from dysphoria need compassion and the truth, not lies that indulge delusions.
One of the most powerful moments in my life was about two weeks after starting hormone replacement therapy. I woke up one morning and immediately noticed something was different. After several minutes trying to figure it out, it struck me. For the very first time in my life, I didn’t want to die! Never in thirty years had I felt that, and I wanted to weep for joy at the feeling.

Of course, if we think of being trans as one gender’s brain in another gender’s body, this makes perfect sense. Obviously the brain isn’t getting the hormones it needs to function. And, of course, it’s the brain, not the body, that defines the person. If I lose my arm in an accident tomorrow, will I be a different person? Of course not; my personhood was not defined by that arm. But it is defined by my brain.

Every single trans person I know (triple digits) reports the exact same experience with hormones. And there’s an abundance of medical literature to verify it. So, your hope for our access to medically necessary treatment to be outlawed is effectively a hope to doom us all to suicide. I beg you to reconsider, do some research, and try to learn more about us. All we want is to be able to live our lives in peace, to know the happiness that all humans deserve. Our existence is no threat to you, so why should you wish us harm?

If you want to learn more about trans people, from an actual trans person, feel free to send me a private message. I would gladly answer any questions you have to the very best of my ability. That offer extends to everyone else here, as well. I would welcome the opportunity to engage with anyone who is curious enough to do so.

How about biological evaluation to determine if they are actually men or women?

Once upon a time, chromosome testing was one of the assessment tools for gender dysphoria.

Sometimes they found something wrong
 
If there is a chromosomal defect then it certainly could be a medical problem. If not, it would seem to be a mental problem.
 
There’s also the issue that there’s been such an uptick in cases very recently.

Why?

And then add to that, there’s been a race to medicate vulnerable kids and teenagers, to enshrine this in law, and to silence anybody who tries to object.

Everything about this is fishy.

I am just guessing, but I think it partly may be because people are more open in talking about transgenderism now, whereas in the past it was kept in the dark.
 
I used to think that might be the case except…

People may not go public with their distress, but they do tell their deepest darkest secrets to their therapist.

And therapists are saying there’s been a huge uptick.

In my case, I figured myself out as late in life as I did because I simply didn’t know how to even begin having that conversation (not even with my therapist) until fairly late in life. Had I known that trans people even so much as existed in my youth, I likely would have cried for joy to know that I was not alone. It wasn’t until much later, after quite a lot of research and soul-searching, that I finally came to understand. And, once that milestone was reached, the rest was simple. Once the pieces finally fit together into a complete puzzle, the answers I had sought for my entire life were practically staring me in the face. Who can argue with facts when said facts are right in front of you?
 
I would prefer not to comment on individual cases.

I have a close family member who was misdiagnosed as a transsexual by unscrupulous activist types and was never right ever since.

And I have to ask the serious questions when I’m seeing so many kids being egged on to claim this identity than ever before.

And have also seen kids (more than one) detransiton.

And the fact that this is getting enshrined in law and used an excuse to silence and deplatform skeptics.

No bueno
 
You can report an uptick in a particular issue without revealing names of patients.
 
Great and brave post! I wish you every happiness and love in your life now.
 
Are you aware that “cultural Marxism” is considered a conspiracy theory with no basis in reality? It’s pretty anti-Semitic, too.
 
I’m starting to understand why you seem to dislike science so much. Ah well. Whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess. Cheers! 😉
 
Ask yourself how your feeling right now. What’s going on in your life that your lashing out at a person who’s just expressing their personal experiences. Does it really make you feel better? There are ideals but no human fits inside them perfectly. As Catholics our first job is to treat each human person with dignity and respect, and we should have a peaceful heart.
