They're #ing children...they say stupid # and have stupid ideas all the time since when are the ideas of children taken seriously? Especially when it comes to something they have no real concept of?

So do people with type I diabetes. As long as they take their meds.
What’s your point?
Really? You don't understand the point?
We're talking about mental/psychological/emotional conditions....not physical ailments.
Hormones are not psychotics meds.
Coming from someone that believes too much testosterone is the cause of all the killings and problems in the world.
Man, you are fixated on me and everything I say! You need a life.
Would you say I'm as fixated on you, as you are on trans issues, and therefore need a life as well?
The bigger question is why are you deflecting away from you stated belief, now?
The ONLY treatment that has helped resolve gender dysphoria is therapy, plus any drugs needed to help with the symptoms of the dysphoria (depression and anxiety), PLUS helping the person with the level of transition that relieves their dysphoria (how much transitioning depends on the individual).

People arent born smoking crack or shooting dope, but enough personal tension combined with peer pressure and all bets are off. Now imagine if the entire media and educational apparatus told them their entire lives they all need to strongly consider becoming a dope addict.

So, no peer reviewed science, and no general consensus.
So, what do we look at, in your opinion, for our information?

It actually IS the general consensus of the Endocrine Society.

There isn't but it's pretty darn clear there's an agenda at work here to prevent those that are from receiving the treatment needed to improve the quality of their lives. While you all were bickering back and forth at the speed of light, maybe my post on page 7 of this thread was overlooked?
I will also bet that NO ONE in this thread has ever actually met or dealt with a genuinely transgender child let alone had to parent one. I'd also venture to say if that were the case, some of you might take the time to gain a better understanding of this condition beyond what you've read here from a rabid anti-trans activist and show a little empathy.

Absolutely, but even knowledge is becoming more scarce in this new climate.
Soon enough, if you don't follow in lock-step with the hivemind, you will be shunned and ridiculed into obscurity.
Yes,
And then they will be coming to get those "hateful" Christians who won't get with the program.

I don't get the alt right's obsession with degrading trans folks. They go out of their way to make people who have a tough time already and try to make their lives more difficult.
The OP really put a spin on this and the usual suspects are eating this up.

Most of the youngsters undergoing the transformation are autistic, according to a teacher there, who said vulnerable children with mental health problems were being ‘tricked’ into believing they are the wrong sex.
Older pupils at her school who changed gender ‘groomed’ younger, mainly autistic students to do the same;
One autistic teenager is soon to have a double mastectomy;
Pupils who say they were born the wrong sex mimic transgender YouTube stars Carol believes are partly to blame for convincing vulnerable children they have gender dysphoria.
She adds that one of the most worrying ways these pupils exercise their newfound power is by influencing younger children, ‘who are nearly always autistic’, to think they, too, are transgender, which reminds her of grooming.
Carol told of how distressed children would come to her and say they are trans, explaining to her: ‘I was feeling very lost, but [an older transgender student] found me crying in the corridor and helped me understand who I truly am.’
Her concerns come amid growing alarm over the surge in the number of teenage girls wanting to change gender.
More than 1,000 were referred for treatment this year compared to just 40 in 2010.
‘I’m now so alarmed by the force of the transgender agenda that I’m not sure how muchlonger I can go on for, as I can no longer be honest with the students.
‘We are being dictated to by groups who don’t know these kids, to make decisions that are harmful to them.
"Dr. Joanna Williams, author of the book Women vs Feminism, has said that schools are 'encouraging even the youngest children to question whether they are really a boy or a girl,'" the Telegraph added.
The issue is so big that UK officials have launched an investigation into the increase in children seeking to transition to the opposite sex.
Here in the US, there is also a growing push to inject children with drugs to stall the onset of puberty.
"Reasonable people would be mystified, if not repelled, by the statements and actions of a leading researcher into transgender treatment," The Federalist reported. "In a study funded by a $5.7 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers including Dr. Johanna Olson of Children's Hospital Los Angeles are supposedly evaluating use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones on dysphoric children."
In England, 800 dysphoric children were injected with puberty-blocking drugs last year, including some as young as 10 years old.

The UK’s Government Equalities Office suspects the influence of social media and teaching of transgender philosophy by the educational system have fueled the striking increase in transgender children.
Well once your movement is fully normalized why WOULDN'T other groundbreaking problems come up that need to be solved.

So what is the treatment recommendation for people with mermaid dysphoria in the DSM?
I assume it has its own listing? I go by what the professionals say on the matter.
There are many, many people with gender dysphoria who go on to lead happy, fulfilling lives after transitioning.
