Transgender youth and the fight over medical care

- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Six-tenths of a percent of all Americans identify as transgender, including about 300,000 teenagers. At least 121,000 trans kids have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria - severe distress, even suicidal thoughts, related to their gender identity. But since 2021, 20 states have enacted full or partial bans of minors receiving care that doctors say could ease suffering and even save their lives. Correspondent Susan Spencer talks with family members trying to help their loved ones. She also talks with the president of a conservative advocacy group working to make health care for trans minors illegal.

I would love to see that closet case sit down in front of that poor little GIRL and say, "You're going back to being a little boy... WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" Seriously, this guy is NUTS!
The fact you think a boy should transform into a girl is outstanding and horrific
@@SexIconBlonde No, the fact that you think that you are "sex icon" is.

This is no one else’s business other than the child and the child’s parents/guardians. A person’s healthcare decisions should not be public domain. Politicians should work on solving problems and stay out of the doctor’s office.
Then why go on national TV? I recommend look up people that have transitioned and are now de-transitioning. Listen to them!
Oh my, those shockingly high numbers in the ranges of 0.4-1%.
I find the man who was speaking against this to be oddly judgemental in assuming he knows what's best for every family in America.
Pompous nit.
Producers chose him for a reason, I'm sure, as opposed to a concerned mother or someone who is de-transitioning. Cast as the low-key villain.
Terry Schilling and his socially conservative think tank, the American Principles Project (APP) have funded political campaign ads that reflect the organization's opposition to civil rights protections for LGBTQ people. APP has opposed same-sex marriage. The APP has said that its long-term goal is to eliminate transgender healthcare in its entirety. In February 2023, Schilling told CNN that they oppose gender-affirming care for all Americans, regardless of age and that they are working with states to introduce and pass bans on it for all ages, but are starting with bans for children since "that's where the vast majority of the American people are right now." Schilling is one of ten children of the late Congressman Bobby Schilling (R) from the 17th congressional district of Illinois.
I agree. And I may be wrong, but the moment he began speaking my “gaydar” went on alert.
I wouldn't be surprised that after his last kid turns the majority age he will become his authentic self, sad.
We as parents must do a better job of teaching our children compassion and acceptance. If we fail to do so, the prejudices so rampant today will only continue. Love and compassion are learned traits. I applaud these parents for their decision.
Trying to change someones gender is impossible. There are no transgenders
Yes, acceptance to accept the gender you are and not the gender you want to be. Now that Louis e is acceptance.
And all parents need to vote out the mega people with their conspiracy theories who are ruining our children's
Those are the Frightening key words : "I am an American Citizen that gets to Vote and Organize People in Politics". Proving once again, the Religious "Right" has efficiently organized and are using their legal power to to ensure they get back Their approved version of America.
Im not religious at all and agree 1000% with him. Kids shouldnt be permanently changin their bodies at that age. Let kids grow up, experiment, learn etc and then decide
@@bbygrlpt2 - You really didn't understand what I wrote. You don't need to be religious to be forced to accept what the religious "right" wants the majority to accept.
@@mepulley7913 Idont care what religion rights say. Its common sense that kids shouldnt be changing their bodies until theyre adults when their minds are fully developed. Period.
@@bbygrlpt2 - Yet the people who are into religion and get their "inspiration" from a factious story are mandating. What may work for you and Your family may not work work someone else's. Despite what you may believe - period.
@@mepulley7913 Stop being obsessed with religion. Its science and common sense. Period.
I love how he said "we are leaving them alone", and then proceeded to list all the ways they are in fact stepping in and meddling without invitation. Clueless
No the right is reacting to deep left policies already being passed, trying to save children.
Im a gay man who loved girl cartoons, hanging out with girls dor friends instead of guys, and used to look at womens clothes and grade them in the JCPenney catalog.......im so happy i wasnt turned into a women or had that idea put into my head....i would have taken my parents to court as an adult if they would have tuened me to a women......this is crazy..
Thanks for sharing your perspective. All we hear is that some child made the transition and lived happily ever after.
You don't seem to understand how it works. Nobody puts the idea in their head. Did someone put the idea in your head to be gay, or is that just for you were all along?
sorry, but you are confusing sexual orientation with gender indentity. Two separate topics. You were a gay boy not a trans girl. get some education.
You are a gay cisgender man, not a trans woman. Your sexual orientation is gay. Your gender identity is male. Your parents would not have been trying to turn you into woman.
@@susiestah - Yeah, you need to get out more and do some research.
Only a parent can understand the pain felt by their children.
Do think understand the pain of their child's regret?
@@ColorCrimson allowing children’s to express themselves, in a age when they’re ready they can take pills but not surgery. End of the day, it’s the person life. Being a trans parent can be difficult too so don’t judge if you don’t have a trans kid.
@@Mentxhiasleela Allowing a child to express herself/himself sexually. How is that different from just having sex with the child?
@@ColorCrimson 🤡

The government DOES NOT OWN YOUR CHILDREN! With their doctor's guidance the family alone should make the decisions for THEIR CHILD!!
Hmm curious to your thoughts on vaxxins then?
Is it the parent's right to accuse their child too? Hormone therapy, puberty blockers and surgery all have high potential of disastrous consequences.
Do you apply that logic elsewhere? For example, let's say their child wants to engage romantically with a 50 year old. Should that be up to the parents to decide with their child? Or should it be illegal?
So you’re pro-Munchausen by proxy, then?
Whoa, hold on there, partner, it's true that government doesn't own children but it does set limits for minors, for example, the same parents who want to transition 10 year old Susie into a boy would be arrested for felony child abuse if they transitioned her into a prostitute, regardless of Susie's "inner feelings", also the parents would get into trouble if they let little Susie drive the family car out on the highway, there are other examples such as tattoos and alcohol consumption, in my opinion there needs to be a nationwide ban on sex transitioning of minors
No gender reassignment until 18 yo. Children don’t know enough
I don’t know. I like the idea of kids not suffering, but I’m just not supportive of the puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries. I’d do what the second mother did and wait until age 18. All of these medical organizations can say the same thing, and I’d still be skeptical. You don’t know who’s acting in good faith, and who is being paid to say or support this. If the child is suicidal, you take the child to a therapist for treatment. Don’t mess with a body and brain that haven’t fully developed.
the 2nd mother's child attempted suicide, what do you suppose the therapist is supposed to tell the child? have you ever felt so out of place that suicide seemed like the only option. we are trying to save our kids.
Not your kid? Not your decision. If you want to “shield” your child from this care then that is your choice. More importantly educate yourself on the medicine and science behind these treatments - talk with doctors, engage with families. You will quickly learn that it is not one child making one statement that leads to medical intervention, it is years of emotional and behavioral observations that lead them to seek solutions to ease pain, to ease struggle. Period. The 2nd mom regretted not doing it before 18 - she stated they now know what they could have lost.
@@tbernstein I just don’t think we should give kids and teens these procedures until they’re 18. They can be treated for their suicidality, but the negative side effects should be heavily considered.
@@olegirl91 I’ve read and heard from enough families. I still don’t think any of this should be given to people before they’re adults. I’m sorry, but my position is firm.
@@WanderingRationalist, it's none of your business what a person chooses to be. If it makes them happier, then it should not be your problem. Mind your own business 😊.
Sex isn’t “assigned”.
Sex is assigned, but gender isn’t.
Sex and gender are assigned when you are conceived. This is God's plan.
@@mikeywestside8509 No, it really isn’t.
@@absatwell8163 actually IT IS
@@mikeywestside8509 Not by some imaginary “god”. It’s up to the sperm, egg and DNA. Males look like females until about 20 weeks.
As a non-gender conforming person in my youth, I'm glad my parents let me express my femme personality. But I'm also glad my parents allowed me to make adult decisions for myself after 18. These are children, and children need to be guided...
Exactly.
So: “I didn’t feel distressed, so no one else can obviously make decisions with their medical team regarding their own child”. Got it. Now go back in the closet.
Hormone treatment and puberty blockers have many harsh and even deadly consequences.
You got a proven link to verify that claim? Just by chance?
@@KonijnKat8117 RUclips deletes links automatically. But you can research it yourself before jumping on the bandwagon.
Hormones are not healthy to taken. They raise the risk of cancer and lower bone density. Could you walk into a doctor and ask for high doses of testosterone or estrogen just for better health? No, only if you are experiencing gender dysphoria mental illness.
Denying who you truly feel you are is far more dangerous and deadly. GLBTQIA people have much much higher rates of substance abuse and suicide, and it's safe to say that is likely due to trying to conform by pretending to be something that they truly are not. Denying people the ability to live as their true self is far more dangerous than a doctor and loving parents guiding them through the process and utilizing appropriate medications.
@@eelnoops5200 In actually, suicide and mental illness rates are similar before and after transition. Body dysmorphia comes in many types. Including gender Dysphoria. According to the testimony of many who have transitioned and then detransitioned, what they have is a mental illness and needs treated as such instead of affirming a psychosis. Once the damage from so called transitioning is done, most can't be undone. I know people mean well, but they are causing a lot of pain. And the fact is that there are only two genders and you cannot truly change your gender. So there's that. As evidenced by transitioned boys, playing as girls in girls sports and dominating. And evidenced by the fact that archeologists can tell a female from a male, not to mention, any doctor in a live person, no matter how many surgeries and hormones.
I wish they didn't feel the need to justify Ava's sense of her gender by talking about how much she loved dresses, etc. If she wanted to play football but told her parents she understood herself as a girl, she would have been just as much a girl. I wish the cisgender media didn't feel the need to justify trans people's genders using stereotypical gender expression.
The man here fighting against gender change hormones admits - he's just a citizen. He doesn't have the experiences or a breadth of knowledge or expertise or a child of his with these issues. He has his opinion, like anyone else. And looking at him, not a particularly convincing one-. So - not much there.
He’s clearly in the grievance industry.
It is hard to imagine but at one time, homosexual men were given hormones to chemically castrate them.
'Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists' are used for chemical castration.
Such drugs do have a role to play in fighting prostate cancer.
Let us work towards a world where GnRH hormones are used for that purpose and that purpose only.
So stop chemically castrating children with GnRH hormones.

It's called "common sense" democrats don't have that.
Studies and science are mostly on his side.
Where is the reporting, for balance, of the persons that regret sterling and removing parts of their bodies?
If the state's says, they are protecting children, which is bull, why are they killing them by gun's!!!!
Because the permissiveness of gun ownership is all about white male supremacy.
Exactly
To fully represent the topic, I’d have liked to hear from people who transition and regret it.
Shhh, that doesn't fit the MSM narrative.
You can find those people online all day long detransition stories
The left censors that out.
When were kids/teens we had times when we were confused, depressed, vulnerable etc. As adults we dont think the same way we did as kids. Let kids be kids and when theyre adults make decisions on their bodies.
It is not and never has been, a decision.
50 years ago, when I was three years old, I knew I wanted to grow up to be like my mother, and told her so. After that, she had me do thinks that boys do. Since then, I’ve lived my life with a lot of confusion and depression.
Children know who they are better than their parents do.
That’s most children, but these are not most children.
@@semipenguin Children dont know what they are, most are confused, depressed etc. We might have an idea but our brains are not fully developed until were adults.
@@bbygrlpt2 "Most are confused, depressed etc?" Ohhhhh.....really.
So we go from her claim claim of 10% of kids not identifying with any specific gender to a a rate of less then 1% actually being trans if you can’t see that 9% difference and how you could developmentally damage those children by prescribing them puberty blockers I don’t know what to tell you
So many opinions from people who have not lived that life
Let others live their life and you live yours it's that simple if people would just stop telling other people how to live their lives we wouldn't have all this drama to deal with
Except these confused people go on TV social media and want to get their 15 min of fame.
Ya just don’t use my tax payer money for gender reaffirming care and keep men out of woman sports.
Children experiment in role playing, many children mimick their mothers behavior.
Yes, children role play and mimic. That is a distinct behavior and perfectly natural. What these sorts of children are experiencing is something all together different.
It’s is always important to distinguish between social gender and biological gender. Social gender is how colors, toys, etc is matched to a gender, people can be socially gender fluid, a man can wear pink. Biological gender is fluid as well but it’s private matter that we have no business in.
People trying to cease oll gender-affirming care make it impossible to be A Private matter
A guy can love Barbies or dress up or lots of colors or whatever and still be a guy. A girl can be tough and logical and assertive and still be a girl. Because gender IS binary based on biology.
So social gender is all about stereotypes and when a child's inner gender spirit doesn't match their body it's because they don't conform well to the stereotypes?
No one outside of the person and their parents have the right to make medical decisions for them. You can tell by his attitude that this is about power and not so called, "care for a child's personal medical care." Such a smug pompous arrogant attitude about thinking he has the right to determine medical, emotional and mental care for others. It is utterly appalling! That being said, I do think that the age for actual surgery should be at least 18. People change their mind often from childhood to adult. Surgery is permanent. Living as the person you feel you were born to do is something you can do and then navigate whether you want this to be permanent change. Passing laws on things like drinking or driving are laws that can put others at risk, not just you.
You misguided clown- what if a parent wanted to dismiss all conventional medicine to treat their child and and go to some soothsayer for treatment, then the child dies. Would you just say, oh well- it was the parents decision- no big deal.
They can decide what to do with their bodies once theyre adults.
It’s about white male supremacy.
@@bbygrlpt2 I sure I stated that, "A permanent change like surgery is something that should be decided when they are an adult! This is no one's business except the people who are experiencing it. No one else should be forcing anyone to live by anyone else's set of beliefs.
@@SamSung-ww3rp But theyre doing it. They are enforcing their beliefs that kids should have hormone blockers, surgeries etc Bc of their beliefs
I suffered wity my imagge as a kid and being attractive while figuring out in gay,..... All kids sturggle as teenagers...... NEVER SHOULD A KID BE TURNED TO A DIFFERENT SEX
But like, someones struggles because of different things, if you were struggling because you were gay and didn’t know why there can’t be teens that struggles because they are trans and didn’t know
People that think it's their job to make decisions for our children's lives need to get their own lives and leave people to make their own decisions!! I'm so sick and tired of these conservative bullies telling everyone else how they should live their own lives!! People's personal decisions have absolutely no effect on these thugs personal lives. Why do they insist on making other people's lives miserable?? It's none of their F-ING business!!! STAY OUT OF IT!!!
States can regulate child abuse. Get over it.
I'm more mind your business. He is making decisions for someone else and not qualified to make this decision for someone else.

Tell me, did we stop following the science?
Wow that American Prinicples guy is a real czar. He wants the government to have unlimited power over raising other people's kids.
Guy in the blue jacket is an annoying know-it-all. Every transgender case is different, so for him to speak with any sense of authority is pompous and pretentious. He has no real insight to what suffering individuals are experiencing.

@@jamesvanderbilt201 it’s a public issue. Laws and courts and how taxpayers money is spent is impacted. Your “point” dodges the issue.

Should this same logic be applied to parents with Munchausen Syndrome by proxy?
That's what they say in poor countries about tricking out their kids to make money for the families. This issue is worse as the ramifications are greater.
I know you felt the need to show both sides of the issue but I appreciate how most of this segment was sympathetic to the children involved. The man at the end was a horrifying example of someone who gleefully wants to interfere in the lives of others when his only motivation is his own prejudice. Politicians have advocated the extermination of transgender people and in Florida and Texas they are systematically denying health care to children in the guise of protecting them.

@@DangerJim-vq5uh The debate is coming from the bigots. There is no debate among the major medical associations. Those who really care about individual children know that social transition for those kids who cannot live a lie is valid. If the child eventually decides they are comfortable with their birth assignment, then that is okay. If they remain adamant about the identity they feel into adolescence, they may take puberty blockers for a couple of years. Once they are 18 they can make their own decisions about how they will proceed.
The person at 5:00 using the example of the state control over the age of drinking, smoking, and tattooing is equivalent to the private sensitive medical family matter made between a family and their doctor, is INSANE!
Smoking and drinking has been shown to have detrimental effects on the body, so it is beneficial to prohibit minors from smoking and drinking. However, Terry Schilling and his socially conservative think tank, the American Principles Project (APP), advocate that gender-affirming care is harmful to minors.

The APP has said that its long-term goal is to eliminate transgender healthcare in its entirety. In February 2023, Schilling told CNN that they oppose gender-affirming care for all Americans, _regardless of age_ and that they are working with states to introduce and pass bans on it for all ages, but are starting with bans for children since "that's where the vast majority of the American people are right now."
Maggie Gallagher is a senior fellow at APP. Gallagher co-founded the National Organization for Marriage in 2007, which _The Washington Post_ called the “pre-eminent organization” fighting the imposition of same-sex marriage.
So true, the more medical ban laws the more votes making healthcare tourism an economic hemorrhage exodus, yikes!.
How can you think a child knows whether to have a surgery? Children go through stages of thinking they are kind all kinds of things.
Gender affirming surgery is not performed before the age of 18. I have a family member who is transgender. It is real, and there is so much unnecessary suffering.
There is always people who want to judge and criticize....and especially remain ignorant of the facts. I don't understand why it's so easy to be cruel and unkind.
@@A711-m1d easier and less work to hate that which you don’t understand. It requires time and work to educate one’s self on topics, two things people really don’t want to do.
Completely wrong there were 282 U.S. patients in 2021 ages 13-17 undergoing mastectomy with a prior gender dysphoria diagnosis. And that's just top surgery
Theyre butcherin kids just bc they might be confused or depressed. Of course theyre doin surgeries on kids in the US right now
Giving a child puberty blockers has shown to cause weaker bones, delay brain development

What a sweet little girl and loving parent's. Why ppl try to tell others what to do with their own children is beyond me. I wish the family well
You're demonic.
It's a DUDE!!
I guess thousands of years of social construct/traditional gender was just a bunch of BS? Sweet, yes but those parents are as confused as the kid.
Then I guess people can abuse children then by this statement. We have laws to try and protect children who are vulnerable to many things. I recommend you find some stories of the ones that transitioned and now are de-transitioning. There are now lawsuits against the medical professionals and the fear they always report of their child committing suicide they have not followed up with the people that have transitioned and still commit suicide or the horrible side effects of the surgeries they are doing to young people.
@@sheilajuenger6377 In a review of 27 studies involving almost 8,000 teens and adults who had transgender surgeries, mostly in Europe, the U.S and Canada, 1% on average expressed regret.

Yes and privacy is a right.
How can it be a private matter when there are public laws governing the matter. It can't be private under these circumstances.
They are sharing their story since it’s pride month :)
It's very public. The clue is in the fact that they aired it.
Yes and should be privately paid for.
I applaud CBS for interviewing a gender nonconforming man who was eloquent and made his argument against puberty blockers very well. A nice balance for this debate that we often don't get in reports of this kind.
Puberty blockers = chemical castration.
Your "gender nonconforming man" is an Evangelical nonconforming realist.
These kids should be allowed to grow up, become adults, and then make a decision.
Hilarious.
That's why the movement makes no sense. They are just reinforcing 1940s gender stereotypes.
Also NOT everything a child does, enjoys, or has problems with is ATTACHED to their sex, sexual orientation, gender or sex acts.
I’m so tired of these people who scream for less government spending their time and money trying to limit everyone else’s medical care.
It's almost like the one actual purpose of government is protecting citizens and their property
Most people who want to transition saw the idea on social media or have a super left wing parent. It's contagious. It's also ridiculous probably 90% of the time.
Many have a narcissistic parent who wants the attention. It's why they're always in the news.
@@sia9907 good point
This country has lost its mind. We can never accept this
It is quite astonishing that a Yale doctor is so confident that this is “the most careful and thoughtful medicine” she has ever practiced, when there is absolutely no definitive long-term studies on the effects of these medications on children.

it'd be nice if FoxNews and other conservatives have empathy and understand this
The challenge is that we don't know which kids will still struggle with their observed and recorded sex when they are adults and we must be cautious with children even if that means childhood will be a depressing experience for some. The dangers of transing kids who are simply gender nonconforming or are going through a phase is too high.
If they are particularly insistent on identifying as the opposite sex, then you are setting them up to be in perpetual depression and suicidal tendencies. This isn’t a lot of children who go through this. This is in the hundreds of thousands nationwide. They are clearly going through something most children don’t go though. This is not a contagion.
@@RocStarr913 I agree this is complex....but when I hear parents say my boy like to play with girl toys and wear a dress....thus he is a girl....I start wondering if the parents made him feel he had to identify as a girl to wear that dress and play with those toys. That is my concern. That is how the parents spoke about their son. I am just basing that concern on the cbs report, which may not have given the full picture.
@@RocStarr913 "this is not a contagion"
Every time you get a kid that's transgender, it's incredibly common that someone else in their immediate family (usually other children) are also transgender or at least some type of sexuality. Tons of these parents claim to have multiple transgender children.
Raising your children to have a fixation on sexuality before they're even old enough to understand what sexuality is sets them up for depression and suicidal tendencies, not letting them be and letting them grow up to be who they naturally are. These kids are raised to be trans from the start.
This is why we leave it to the doctors, professionals. If people are so upset and want to interfere in things they know nothing about, let’s allocate tax dollars for more extensive study.
@pandabear1341 agreed but doctors have lost credibility on this. When a doctor or medical professional says boys can become girls, she or he has veered from medical facts. If doctors were arguing that transwomen are a category of men that need medical procedures (or use an alternative term such as calabai), we could have progress on this topic. Once anyone hears a doctor refer to a transwomen as she, that doctor is no longer credible as a neutral analyst.
I think it might be one thing when a child is experiencing severe gender dysphoria without even really knowing what trans is. The problem right now in schools is that there is such a trend of talking about these things that a lot of teens think this is cool and how to have friends. As a teacher, I see large groups of teens, often in the same friends group that all claim to be "gender neutral" or "boys" when they were born girls. The likelihood that they are all actually trans is statistically unlikely. It could be very detrimental to allow some of these minors to go through hormone therapy because they were immature enough to follow a trend at age 16.
Who do you think you are that you think you have the right to control other people’s medical care?
@@krobust You have to evaluate whether or not someone is mature enough to make those decisions yet. The brain of a minor is not fully developed for decision making. There are a lot of things that minors don't legally have the right to decide. Something so permanent shouldn't be decided by the minor's parents either. There are laws surrounding the minimum age for a vasectomy or tubal ligation too.
@@KatieBellino No I don't. You don't either. We are not doctors. You have to understand that it's completely unreasonable to BAN necessary and lifesaving medical care to children just because their brains aren't fully developed. Tubal ligations and vasectomies are not lifesaving medical care. Gender affirming care _is._ You have no idea what these children go through, how much suffering you're trying to inflict on them. You need to have a long hard think about the _real_ reason you have such a problem with trans people getting the medical care they need.
My sentiments exactly! Well said. It has become a fad
@@marytheresejacksonlutz2533 No it has not. That is a transphobic lie that people keep spreading to make trans people's identities seem less legitimate. Transness is at least _thousands_ of years old.
My heart breaks for their younger child. Caught in the middle of this. He actually looks left out and behind and confused God bless him This little guy is getting crippled in his own thoughts This little brother has no chance to decide for himself what is going on. He looks lost focus on him I pray

someone that likes dresses is not necessarily a girl.
to say that someone receives a gender assignment at birth is ludicrous. there is no choice about it, it is what it is. the doctor does not think "I guess this one will be a boy". the word use is terribly misleading.
The gender assignment is done when the gender is recorded on the birth certificate.

Educate yourself about babies born every day around the world who are INTERSEX. Meaning they do have elements of both male and female sex organs.
@@maryhurst4663 really Mary, you do not have to define the word for me. we are talking about trans individuals being "assigned" male or female.
A child can say they are one thing one day and another thing another day. Very few are truly trans
But very few are that consistent and insistent about it and that needs to be considered.
@@tadatada296Yes but they want schools, teachers etc to decide what the kids should do and completely ignore the parents in some cases charging them for not agreeing with their kid. Thats absolutely ridiculous
Ill parents encourage it
I agree that this is a decision that is best left to the parents just as I believe parents should have a say in what is NOT taught to their children in public schools. But to be fair, CBS should have interviewed one of the many people who thought they were the wrong gender as kids, and now regret the changes that were made to their bodies. Often, children who are convinced they are in the wrong body grow up to be healthy gays and lesbians.
Agree. I would like a follow up on those people whose parents chose to do something and then as adults, how they think about that choice.
This is absurd and her parents have failed him, especialy his mother who seems to be driving this whole thing.
Your parents failed you.
Conservatives going after freedom, lol
No parent should have the freedom to abuse their child
Some states have passed legislation to take a child from a parent who does not take part in the "transgender" process.
The mother was very moving and made me pause. On the other hand, the couple seemed poorly coached....their argument their kid was a girl was because he liked feminine toys and clothing?! Bad argument.
But very few children are this consistent and insistent about it to the point of depression and distress about it and that needs to be considered.
Exactly. We liked many things as children that we dont like as adults anymore. Let kids be kids and develop their brain
@bbygrlpt2 and why tell a boy he must identify as girl to wear a dress and play with girly toys? Fashion has changed....Men used to wear loose fitting robes that looked like dress...lots of gay boys play with girl toys as children. Give him room to experiment with gender expression. There is no one way to be a boy.
Who made it a political issue? It wasn’t a political issue until it was pushed to the masses in public schools promoting keeping secrets from parents and guiding them to transition without parental permission. This Segment of course failed to discuss the effects of puberty blockers on one’s skeletal development or the mental duress of those who had surgeries as minors only to regret it when their brains developed, ie, adults who can
No longer bear children or breastfeed. Those individuals exist as well, but it doesn’t fit the narrative right?
Because most teachers act in good faith and some parents are obsessed with living vicariously through their child and controlling them unjustly.
@@RocStarr913 I see that you're back again with the same naive, ridiculous reasoning. These are not your children. Stay out of their lives and focus on your own.
Thank you for educating people to eradicate the fear!!!
PLAYING WITH FIRE.....😢
I will never understand the conservatives who want parents to make all the educational decisions in kids lives, but want to take important life saving health decisions away from the people who love them the most. Who do they think they are?
Do you have children ?
Biology doesn't determine gender! But it's vital for children to change their biology in order to feel like their specified gender. Wait to biology DOES determine gender?
It needs to be banned federally
It's a stage children go through. These parents have failed. Especially the father.

How would YOU know what these children are experiencing? This is not just some nutty idea that some kids have.
@@rr7fireflyKids don't know. Not until 25.
@@RealMTBAddict You may or may not know that some high school kids are committing suicide. Are they important to you? Or are they just collateral damage in your hard stance?
@@rr7firefly Nobody knows why. Why wasn't that happening 20 years ago? Adults are pushing that onto impressionable kids that don't know the repercussions of a life altering surgery.
20 years ago kids came out as just gay, now they are all trans? Nope, no agenda going on here! Nothing to see!
Why have other liberal countries such as Sweden and Finland changed and implemented very strict and limited HRT treatment on underage children? Sweden in particular has been very accepting of Trans people but have taken a more conservative approach on treating children. This isn't just a conservative/liberal question.
don't tell them what to do with their guns but, tell us what to do with our bodies ?
These parents are NUTS....
Telling the kids Santa is real.....
Would they cut the kids arm off if the kid was transable?

@@rr7firefly By the way......I believe in the science......your standpoint is a religion
@@PrezCamacho Once again, where is your supportive data? A very clear and direct question that you avoided to answer.
The first story is unconscionable. He was gravitating towards dolls or girls toys before he could talk they said. Well no kidding…. Children that young will grab anything. Blue toys, pink toys, dolls of all kinds, bottles of pesticide, a razor blade, spiders and anything within reach. Once the story reveals the parents have brainwashed themselves it becomes obvious that they likely did the same thing to the kid. All children at this age know nothing that isn’t taught. That’s what makes this absolutely criminal. Child abuse comes in many forms and for many reasons. Rarely the abuser recognizes what damage they are doing. This is no different except it is being crammed down our throat’s. Like everyone else is wrong for for disagreeing with child abuse.
Thats true. Just bc a kid likes certain things doesnt mean he or she is the other gender. As we grow up and our brains develop thats when we can decide what we like
And often gay male kids start out liking more feminine things. Are we forcing kids into the other gender who may just be gay ???
There’s a difference between when it’s a phase and when a child is particularly consistent and insistent. And transgender and non-binary children are a small amount. It’s about finding out how serious it really is.
@@RocStarr913 there is a difference between very young children, teenagers and adults. That child was and still is too young to make physical, chemical or psychological changes to anything related to the subject. The parents own words suggest that they had a substantial role in the direction of the child’s thinking. Then they acted on the response they stimulated in the child. They were talking about behavior the child possessed prior to verbal communication. The behavior they mentioned was not abnormal. Many if not all of these millennial parents that do these things will one day have to answer to their children for what they have done.
Word to the wise or in this case not so wise. Virtually all children grow up to love their parents especially their fathers. Even children raised in bad situations where the father deserves no credit, respect or love. The atrocities depicted in this particular story very well may be an exception to that rule. To take a persons identity would be difficult to forgive. Taking it from a child and then bragging about it on television is abhorrent. No one with any sense would put their family out there like this unless they have a sick sense of a calling. Which in turn proves the first point. They wanted a girl so bad they talked themselves into believing it was his destiny, then went on national television to convince other people it was and is the right thing to do.
I know the parents will read this. You can’t help yourself. Unfortunately the child may read these comments as well. To the parents. STOP. TAKE A HUMANITARIAN PAUSE. Give the kid time to develop. To the child. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS ALL VERY CONFUSING. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BY PUTTING ALL OF THIS ON HOLD. THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE ALL CONSUMING DRIVING FACTOR IN YOUR LIFE. GET UP IN THE MORNING, PUT ON WHATEVER CLOTHES YOU WANT AND DO ALL THE THINGS OTHER KIDS YOUR AGE DO. PUT ALL THIS ASIDE. THERE IS NO RUSH AND NO REASON TO FIXATE ON THIS SUBJECT TO THE POINT YOU DO ANYTHING THAT CANNOT BE UNDONE. YOU HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD. NO NEED TO RUSH ANYTHING.
This is a really clickbaity deceptive headline, which I'd expect FAR better from a major news network like this one. This makes it sound like TG's are being denied health care in general which has never been true.

Body dysmorphia is a thing. Everyone is familiar with gender bending and eating disorders but there are many unusual ones people totally ignore. When I was a child, I was so jealous in school when someone came into school with crutches or casts. They would get attention and everyone would sign their cool pink or florescent yellow cast. They didn't have to do gym and people would carry their book bags. Sometimes older kids would volunteer to push them in a wheelchair and they could use the teachers elevator. I became obsessed with the notion of having a fake leg. I also liked the metal ones runners used. I got older and I saw a documentary about people who remove unwanted appendages. Thankfully, I realized it was part of a OCD and It is a mental problem that wasn't solved by operations. I have a very unique perspective. I understand, whether people want to address it or not, that MOST of these conditions are brought on by....(get ready to be triggered)...FOMO and jealousy. Yes, it is true. Simply, not getting the attention, perhaps a sibling or friend is getting, even a movie character can set it off. Add this with a mother who suffers from Munchausen and you have got the perfect storm. Mothers who don't support you emotionally daily, only when it might get them some attention. My mother was obsessed with making an issue about my food allergies every where we went. If appendage removal was an option for kids well, let's just say my life would have been destroyed Also, can we talk about Ava's poor ignored, sad little brother. If your kid is going to transition and become someone new, STOP, talking about their past self. New school, new identity, just change and move on. Why al the BLAH BLAH BLAH attention mongering BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Its called delusion care
clearly, something is off about all of this.
I supposed to have my gender reassignment surgery on June 09 but idk my insurance got cancelled so I have to wait again. Trans people really need health care like everyone does. For the love of god 🤥
I'd pray a lot before making that decision. Let our creator speak to you.
These stories only supported. What are the statistics? Where is the opposing view? Not a single child was mistaken at 6 yo? Seems unlikely. At 6 yo I had crush on Gonzo and believed in Santa 😢
I support transgender children 100%. My only concern is these children will never become fertile adults. When they become the gender they are meant to be, they will not be able to have biological children.
Of course, most eight year olds can figure themselves out. Boy, these doctors will think of any way to make more $. Like pushing chemo drugs on the elderly… 😢
.6% of the population and yet there is a lot of money and vitriolic rhetoric aimed at actually outlawing how families care for their children. So sad. Leave them alone!

Terry shilling seems like a monster.
Terry Schilling and his socially conservative think tank, the American Principles Project (APP) have funded political campaign ads that reflect the organization's opposition to civil rights protections for LGBTQ people. APP has opposed same-sex marriage. The APP has said that its long-term goal is to eliminate transgender healthcare in its entirety. In February 2023, Schilling told CNN that they oppose gender-affirming care for all Americans, regardless of age and that they are working with states to introduce and pass bans on it for all ages, but are starting with bans for children since "that's where the vast majority of the American people are right now." Schilling is one of ten children of the late Congressman Bobby Schilling (R) from the 17th congressional district of Illinois.
