I really cannot think of a circumstance where I would let her get on testosterone before she turned 18 because those detransition rates are so terrifying.

What do you say?

I have some very technical answers on this.

So the first thing is WPath came from the standards of care that they used to diagnosis.

When I transitioned back in 2003, 2004, we had a non-political version of this.

And the way it was called the standards of care.

And every step built on other steps.

So if I wanted to get hormones, I couldn't go to Planned Parenthood and sign a waiver.

I had to go do three months of therapy.

And then if I did three months of therapy and I had no more comorbidities and no complicating factors and the therapist felt comfortable with it, then I could take it to a doctor.

Then I could get on hormones.

Then I could start living as a woman.

Then we could think about surgery.

Then we could think about vaginoplasty with other experts.

There was a...

it was like a pathway that you go down to teach you how to integrate as a woman in society.

This was a great system because it made me go get therapy and really think about that.

Progressives have entirely dismantled this.

It does not exist in the same way anymore.

And the most troubling part of it is it's been politically hijacked.
