We were told this multiple times by therapists and at least one school counselor. “Your child might commit suicide or run away and become homeless”. Our son occasionally brings it up with a sort of taunting attitude. I hope the Times prints your letter. I have written several times asking that they do a piece on parents that includes those of us who disagree with the ideology as well as desistors and detransitioners….crickets.

I truly hope they run this. It’s beyond unethical what is printed about this issue over and over again. What ever happened to campaigns like “it gets better”? Why this insistence that these kids will harm themselves, when everyone knows that insisting on it makes it more likely. Some days it feels like a dark conspiracy to get more kids into this precarious situation in order to raise money off their demise. It’s so so so sick.
