I have been reading this thread ( http://www.stltoday.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=662247&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0 ) , and want to scream WTF!!!

QuoteDicktar  -- I'll mark you down as "no comment" on the evidence that hormone therapy is dangerous, has permanent side effects, and that most kids with GID simply outgrow it.

"Yellow" indeed.

To clarify the NPR article link:

Therapists on Gender Identity Issues in Kids

This pits Diane Ehrensaft against Ken Zucker.

You'll never get anywhere arguing with militant feminists. Their whole belief system is structured around gender not existing.

Whoops -- is Dicktar possibly a she ?  My apologies if I got it wrong.

QuoteWhat do you say to Ken Zucker's argument that children this age are flexible, that you can never know?

I would say that I think that there is a subgroup of children who, if we listen to them carefully, will tell us, "I know who I am. And if you let me be who I am, I will be a healthy person. And if you try to bend my twig" — which is what I think Zucker does — "then I will be a repressed, suppressed, depressed person who will learn to do what other people expect of me and I'll hide who I really am."

my god this is true.

Yep, that's my life in a nutshell.  I didn't have the words or the permission to say them, but that was me when I was little.
