This is a disgrace, and based on politically-motivated pseudoscience. Dr. Cass collaborated with Ron DeSantis' team of “scientists” in Florida. All based on an intentional moral panic.
“All the news that fits our worldview, we print.” Shameful. The fact that the NYT thinks they're "objective and neutral" would be comical if the consequences for the trans community weren't so dire.
Es gibt keine evidenzbasierte empirische Forschung zur „explorativen Psychotherapie“, die wirksam sei bei der Behandlung von #trans Kindern. Es gibt keine Untersuchungen, die beweisen, dass geschlechtliche Wahrnehmungen bei Kindern „falsch“ sein und welche Ursachen das haben könnte. Deshalb ist psychologische Unterstützung keine „alternative“ Behandlung für trans Kinder.
As someone who has lost #trans :heart_trans: loved ones because of #transphobia, I'm fed up with this very small percentage within an already small group of detransitioners who actively campaign to derail the transitions of others.

Nex was beaten unconscious and then suspended from school for using the bathroom that conservatives wanted him to use.

my kid is doing a skate-a-thon for their roller derby team! derby is super queer and a super safe space for LGBT kids to build an awesome support network. sponsor them to help cover rent, equipment costs for new players, and event hosting. you can donate per lap or a flat amount and they're a non profit so it's tax deductable. every donation counts!
