chasovschik | Неожиданно: Rapid-onset Gender Dysphoria

Трансгендерство вошло-таки в моду: набралось уже достаточно случаев, когда ребенок (в отличие от нормальных, так сказать, трансгендеров это в основном девочки, около 80%), никаких транс-склонностей никогда не демонстрировавший, уезжает в университет и там с ней внезапно приключается гендерная дисфория. Или в школе. Университеты и школы по нынешним временам такие вещи с энтузиазмом поддерживают, многие университетские страховки безропотно платят за гормоны-хирургию, и ребенок приезжает домой после второго семестра с двойной мастэктомией и усами во все лицо.

There were 256 parent-completed surveys that met study criteria. The adolescent and young adult (AYA) children described were predominantly female sex at birth (82.8%) with a mean age of 16.4 years. Forty-one percent of the AYAs had expressed a non-heterosexual sexual orientation before identifying as transgender. Many (62.5%) of the AYAs had been diagnosed with at least one mental health disorder or neurodevelopmental disability prior to the onset of their gender dysphoria (range of the number of pre-existing diagnoses 0–7). In 36.8% of the friendship groups described, the majority of the members became transgender-identified. The most likely outcomes were that AYA mental well-being and parent-child relationships became worse since AYAs “came out”. AYAs expressed a range of behaviors that included: expressing distrust of non-transgender people (22.7%); stopping spending time with non-transgender friends (25.0%); trying to isolate themselves from their families (49.4%), and only trusting information about gender dysphoria from transgender sources (46.6%).

WSJ по этому поводу:

I spoke with 18 parents, 14 of them mothers—all articulate, intellectual, educated and feminist. They burst with pride in daughters who, until the ROGD spell hit, were highly accomplished, usually bound for top universities. Except for two mothers whose daughters have desisted, all insisted on anonymity. They are terrified their daughters will discover the depth of their dissent and cut them off. They are determined to use whatever influence they have left to halt their daughters’ next voluntary disfigurement.

Nearly every force in society is aligned against these parents: Churches scramble to rewrite their liturgies for greater “inclusiveness.” Therapists and psychiatrists undermine parental authority with immediate affirmation of teens’ self-diagnoses. Campus counselors happily refer students to clinics that dispense hormones on the first visit. Laws against “conversion therapy,” which purports to cure homosexuality, are on the books in 14 states and the District of Columbia. These statutes also prohibit “efforts to change a patient’s . . . gender identity,” in the words of the New Jersey law—effectively threatening counselors who might otherwise dissuade teens from proceeding with hormone treatment or surgery.

Birdwatcher замечает, что основные факторы риска - "быть студенткой, иметь медицинскую страховку". Действительно, университет должен быть правильный, с хорошей медицинской страховкой. Но из текстов можно понять, что существенный фактор риска - наличие прогрессивных убеждений и прогрессивных семей типа "articulate, intellectual, educated and feminist" (Семьи, впрочем, после персонального опыта с таким делом прогрессивность несколько теряют).

Дарвинизм в действии, в общем.

А вот научные возражения (thx to vsvor): 'Rapid-onset gender dysphoria' is a poisonous lie used to discredit trans people. Возражения сводятся к тому, что, во-первых, исследование про ROGD никуда не годится, потому что опубликовано в журнале, который "reviews only the technical aspects of the papers published, rather than the interpretation of the results", а во-вторых, это родители просто не замечали, что дочери у них трансы с раннего детства. Так что нету никакого ROGD, руки прочь от гражданских прав трансов.

На мой взгляд, кстати, тоже нету никакого ROGD, в смысле, как синдрома или еще какого заболевания. Это просто идиотская мода, введенная идиотами. Вроде татуировок, только гораздо хуже. Не медицинская проблема, а социальная.

While the general issue - gender dysphoria (damn, how I dislike this term...) - is not the problem, I think the US medical machinery directing you quickly at doctors who gonna put you on whatever treatment that you want IS ONE.
Such quick assignment - this stinks of "wanting to make money".

By the way, what ideologically seems to happen at American universities also is a problem. People leave these places pretty much brainwashed in a weird way that you struggle to understand cognitively. And this lasts for years, even whole lives.

Also...
In ideological terms, this actually must be a hit in the face for these mothers.
They raise their daughters so proudly under guidance of feminist ideology - and then they fucking want to be men. The main target of hate in feminist ideology...
This may what you call "what you hand out comes back to haunt you". Please, more of that. Feminism needs this kick in the ass.

Подозреваю, со временем эта медицинская практика займет подобающее ей место в одном ряду с таким популярным некогда методом решения психологических проблем, как лоботомия.
