Is it at all possible that while some doctors choose to play safe and were actually good for parents and children, that others rushed the process and were a danger to other families?
In ALL things.
No one denies along with the good there is some bad.
Using that as an excuse to deny ALL — is wrong.
I just offered up actual family's statements of how very long it took to get treatment, so this rushing the process is a lie.
I know.
“They” just refuse to look at the whole picture.
Again — it’s a specialized field.
Again — each child and their care is individual.
Care starts with specialized counseling.
Self esteem, accepting yourself is ALWAYS — #1

It’s illegal because of moral panic and ignorant political legislating of something “they” know nothing about — and chosen blindness to a real “condition”.
Not at all.
Hormones-drugs, 'puberty blockers', and body part mutilations are the main reasons. They're really harmful for kids.
They may be harmful to some kids, just as any drug would be, while life saving for others, you would know that if you bothered to research the science end of it, but mostly believe in parents' and their kids' actual successful and positive experiences in these treatments.

That's exactly what the doctors at that clinic stated.

I am all for whistleblowing to force entities to be investigated and that is what was done here and that's good as the clinic made some administrative changes but absolutely no changes were made to the WPATH treatment process, which this employee obviously was not in any important position of authority with the psychiatric and endocrinology aspect of it.
I am a 42-year-old St. Louis native, a queer woman, and politically to the left of Bernie Sanders. My worldview has deeply shaped my career. I have spent my professional life providing counseling to vulnerable populations: children in foster care, sexual minorities, the poor.
For almost four years, I worked at The Washington University School of Medicine Division of Infectious Diseases with teens and young adults who were HIV positive. Many of them were trans or otherwise gender nonconforming, and I could relate: Through childhood and adolescence, I did a lot of gender questioning myself. I’m now married to a transman, and together we are raising my two biological children from a previous marriage and three foster children we hope to adopt.
All that led me to a job in 2018 as a case manager at The Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital, which had been established a year earlier

Funny how she has the support of the AG, the one who is still investigating as well as protecting the kids in the mean time.
So the university covered up their mistakes and tried to make Reed look bad, the government did the same thing to Snowden and this has happened to many other whistleblowers.
Maybe post a link that isn't full of biased lies and misinformation and maybe someone will take it seriously.

Jamie Reed — solo “whistleblower” — doesn’t seem to have any backup.
The university concluded Reed’s allegations did not hold up.
Funny how you expect posters to take your links seriously — when you flat out deny theirs.

You forget this 'care' has now been outlawed. I mean the level of denialism is unprecedented!
