Reply to comment by 11_Wolfie_11 in bill to ban gender affirming care for kids currently being debated by comefromawayfan2022

There are certain cases where transgender youth SHOULD be able to make these types of decisions without their parents info. It's one thing if a transgender youth has loving and supportive parents then yes that's absolutely a time the parents should be involved. But not all transgender youth have that. Kids get thrown out of the house over these types of things and LGBTQIA youth will take their own lives and attempt to take their own lives because of family discrimination and lack of family support..in those types of situations than absofuckinglutely the parents should have zero say.

So…what about all the mislead detransitioners that are left in a no-man’s-land?

And just so I’m clear on what you’re saying:

The parents need to agree with what these outsiders are saying they’re child needs, or they get no say in the matter…right? No.

8 in 100 detransition in any form. 62 in 100 of those did it because of societal pressures and not because they personally wanted to.

So if you have a population of 1000 people who have transitioned in any way, 80 might have fully detransitioned or partially (meaning they might be "switching/etc). Only 30 chose to detransition and didn't claim it was due outside pressure.

Contrast to suicidality

https://www.gendergp.com/what-is-the-transgender-suicide-rate/

50% consider suicide. 20% attempt

So 50 in 100 are in such destress that they want to die.

20 in 100 try to die. Note: not 20% of 50% like the above stat... In a population of 1000 people who have identified as trans, 500 comtemplate suicide. 200 attempt.

Note: data on completed suicide is lacking because of how deaths are reported.
