fried-egg-the-13th: noelleian: Tumblr: You’re a literal child who cannot consent to sex until you’re 85 years old and you can only have sex with someone who was born on the exact same day at the exact same minute as you and you can only do it in a way I personally feel is healthy and Pure™ Also Tumblr: So you’re saying 6 year olds shouldn’t transition? Why do you hate trans people lmao Thanks for making me agree with /pol/ on something, Tumblr. I hate you even more now. Can we stop referring to cases of misdiagnosis as child abuse? This shit is just annoying at this point. This was a misdiagnosis. She didn’t just decide “my child is trans!” (I can understand calling it child abuse when parents insist their child is trans without medical intervention). Her child expressed concern. She took her child to professionals. They diagnosed her child with gender dysphoria. They gave what they believed to be the appropriate treatment.This has nothing to do with her parenting skills. We always talk about how you shouldn’t self-diagnose, but then criticize parents/people when they actually take the advice of professionals? Fuck that.Would people be calling it child abuse if a child said “mom I frequently feel sad for no reason” to their mother, she took them to a psychologist, they were diagnosed with depression, they were given medication, and it ended up actually being bipolar disorder and they spent half a year suffering because of the wrong type of medication? Probably not. When you say misdiagnoses are child abuse what you’re implying that when it comes to complicated mental health issues, parents should be dismissive of their children, not trust professionals more versed in medicine and psychology than they are, and prevent their child from receiving treatment.Situations like this aren’t child abuse. They are misdiagnoses that should inspire professionals to create a diagnostic process that are more efficient at weeding out people who are not actually transgender and setting age standards for opposite-sex hormone treatment (opting instead for puberty blockers). -- source link
