Another prominent Substacker who writes on this issue is Andrew Sullivan, who recently wrote about his concern that gay kids often end up declaring themselves trans and medicalizing, due to their confusion about their same-sex attraction and gender non-conformity. Another Substacker who writes very well on this topic is Eliza Mondgreen. I also just want to briefly mention that I don't think Suzy Weiss mentioned hysterectomies inher piece, which I read right before I read yours. Keep writing and pitching! There are some positive signs that some MSM outlets are starting to tell more of the full story. I was especially encouraged to read Corinna Cohn's piece in the WaPo a couple of weeks ago.

Yes, he is absolutely brilliant. And thank you for the correction—I meant mastectomies, not hysterectomies. If I could write these for other media outlets I could get edited!
