Our job as parents is to listen and believe our children when they tell us who they are. This healthcare is life affirming and life saving.

Speaker 0 asks Speaker 1 for some history regarding their gender dysphoria to help with writing a letter. Speaker 1 explains that when they were in school, they wrote an essay expressing their discomfort with their biological sex and how they felt. However, people dismissed their feelings because they appeared to be male.

Sage's mother, known as Nana, shares the heartbreaking story of her adopted daughter's journey. Sage faced depression and anxiety during puberty, and when she started high school, she identified as a boy named Draco. The school kept this information from Nana, and Sage experienced severe bullying and assault. Sage eventually ran away and was sex trafficked, but was rescued by the FBI. However, the legal battle continued, with the judge and attorney misgendering Sage and accusing Nana of abuse. After a long struggle, Sage is now receiving trauma care and sharing her story to raise awareness. Nana emphasizes the importance of listening to parents and not letting ideology harm children.

Congratulations on the birth of a baby boy or girl. A pediatrician explains that biological sex is determined by DNA and is binary, with differences between men and women. Identity, however, is psychological and not biologically hardwired. The speaker argues against the idea of being born transgender and shares a story of a child who identified as a girl due to perceived family dynamics. The speaker criticizes the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones in treating gender-confused children, highlighting potential risks and long-term consequences. They also express concern about the indoctrination of transgender ideology in schools, calling it psychological abuse and child mutilation.

A 12-year-old child assigned female at birth expresses a desire to live as a boy. The speaker believes that the law should not intervene in this matter and that parents should take care of it.

A question was posed to the ambassador regarding the appropriate response when a 12-year-old child, who was assigned female at birth, expresses a preference for living as a boy. The speaker believes that the law should not intervene in this matter and that parents should take charge of the situation.

The speaker explains how their child's case ended up in court after a meeting with BC Children's Hospital. The hospital planned to administer cross-sex hormones to the child, but the speaker objected and halted the process. The hospital then sent a letter stating that they would proceed with the hormone injections unless the speaker took legal action within two weeks. The speaker ended up in court because they did not respond with legal action. The speaker also mentions that using the wrong pronouns for their child is considered criminal violence, and they were jailed for it. The speaker confirms that their child is now on hormone pills, as ordered by the court.

At Johns Hopkins Hospital, a child underwent sexual reassignment at 22 months old, becoming Brenda Lee. Despite efforts to raise her as a girl, Brenda rebelled against her female identity. She faced social rejection and struggled with her gender identity. Brenda eventually learned the truth and transitioned back to living as a boy named David at age 14. Brenda's family sought forgiveness, and she showed a compassionate heart in forgiving them.

Most trans kids know they're trans between ages two and seven, with the speaker's daughter knowing around two and a half. The speaker emphasizes that children know things that adults don't, and these are the things to which adults should listen. The speaker states their child is not mentally ill. To begin gender affirming care, the speaker had to consult with numerous healthcare professionals.

The speaker's four-year-old child declared, "Mom, you know I'm really a girl. I'm a girl on the inside." This prompted appointments with a psychologist and endocrinologist to rule out medical issues. The child increasingly expressed herself as a girl, wanting to wear dresses and sparkly shoes. Restricting this expression led to depression, and the speaker allowed her to attend school in girl's clothes, which improved her happiness. While the children and teachers were initially accepting, some parents reacted negatively, influenced by "adult bigotry." The family lost friends and family and went into hiding for a year while the daughter grew her hair out. They re-emerged with a happy and confident daughter.

Here's my transgender daughter, Bella. She was assigned male at birth but now uses she/her pronouns. We're working on getting her medication to block male hormones. Bella is 14 and doing well in her transition. Being trapped in the wrong body affected her mental health, but with medication, we'll get through it together. We also received a grant to cover her transition costs, which is a huge relief. She can finally be who she truly is, which is all she's wanted for years, and we're so happy for her.

Josie and her mother were convinced that the irreversible treatment, despite making Josie sterile, was the right choice. However, one day, Josie had an unexpected conversation with her mother. Josie revealed that she might feel like a boy on the inside and a girl on the outside. Her mother acknowledged that only Josie knows the answer to that. Josie expressed that if she wanted to grow up as a man, she would tell her mother. Josie admitted feeling unsure about her identity, which surprised her mother. This was the first time Vanessa had heard Josie sound uncertain.

At Johns Hopkins Hospital, a child underwent sexual reassignment at 22 months old, becoming Brenda Lee. Despite efforts to raise her as a girl, Brenda struggled with her identity, rejecting feminine traits. Bullied at school, Brenda faced isolation and violence. Reluctantly taking female hormones, she resisted surgery. At age 13, Brenda was told the truth and transitioned back to David. Despite forgiveness from family, self-acceptance remained a challenge.

The speaker states that despite a doctor saying they were a boy, they knew they were a girl. They acknowledge having male body parts but assert that this is acceptable.

A child will often know that they are transgender from the moment that they have any ability to express themselves, and parents will often tell us this. We have parents who tell us that their kids, they knew from the minute they were born practically, and actions like refusing to get a haircut or standing to urinate, trying on siblings' clothing, playing with the quote opposite gender toys, things like that. There is more and more a group of adolescents that we are seeing that really are coming to the realization that they might be trans or gender diverse a little bit later on in their life. So what we're seeing from them is that they always sort of knew something was maybe off and didn't have the understanding to know that they might be trans or have a different gender identity than the one they had been assigned. So that is a growing population that we are seeing and that's being recognized as being trans and able to be treated.

Swiss authorities took a 16-year-old girl from her parents, who disagreed with her being treated as a boy. The school, hospital, and child protection agency supported her transition. The parents feel powerless and want their daughter back. They believe no one should tell a child they were born in the wrong body. The parents miss their daughter and are speaking out to prevent other families from going through the same ordeal.

"Sometimes it may be just a phase of development where they're exploring their gender identity and they're kind of getting a sense of who they are, but a lot of children do end up identifying as that gender into young adulthood and adulthood." "The only real way we know for sure that they're going to continue in that gender identity is just to allow them to develop over time." "And so that's what we recommend to parents is to give them the space." "Even if parents are concerned that it's a phase, we never want to tell the child that they shouldn't be expressing their gender identity or that they should be, ashamed for the way that they're expressing their identity because that can be quite harmful." "We just want to give the child a chance to develop and explore on their own."

In 8th grade, I talked to the principal about my daughter's depression and took her to the hospital after she overdosed on pills. Child Protective Services (CPS) got involved and my daughter was sent to an LGBTQ group without my knowledge. She started feeling like she was in the wrong body and her depression worsened. She went through medication, therapy, and surgeries, but it didn't help. She attempted suicide twice and eventually died by kneeling in front of a train. I asked to see something from her body, but there was nothing left. I believe she can see how hard I fought for her from heaven.

Here's my transgender daughter, Bella. She was assigned male at birth but now uses she/her pronouns. We're working on getting her medication to block male hormones. Bella is 14 and doing great in her true body. Being trapped in the wrong body really affected her mental health, but with the right medication, we'll get through this together. We even received a grant to cover all the transition costs, which is a huge relief. All she's wanted for years is to finally be herself, and we're so happy for her.

They've lost custody of their 16-year-old daughter due to her belief that she was born in the wrong body. The parents disagreed with the school and hospital's decision to socially transition her. The child protection agency got involved, leading to a legal battle. The parents feel helpless and miss their daughter, who now lives in a government facility. They speak out to prevent other families from experiencing the same pain and emphasize the importance of parental love and support in a child's life.

At the age of 2, she insisted that she was a girl, not a boy, despite being called a cute little boy. She struggled with tantrums, which were initially thought to be due to sensory processing disorder. However, when she was 4 and a half, she visited the gender clinic at Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago. The doctor asked if she was a girl, and she confirmed it. From that moment, everything changed. She became the easiest kid to navigate the world with, put on clothes, and had no more tantrums.

Josie and her mother believed that irreversible treatment was the right choice, despite the fact that it would make Josie unable to have children. However, during a conversation, Josie expressed uncertainty about their gender identity. Josie wondered if they were a boy on the inside and a girl on the outside. Their mother acknowledged that only Josie could truly know the answer. Josie was told that if they wanted to grow up as a man, they could. Josie admitted to feeling unsure about their identity, which was a surprise to their mother. This was the first time Vanessa had heard Josie express uncertainty.

Speaker 0: Before publicizing Brenda's case, there were concerns about potential problems. Speaker 1: Brenda showed extreme negativism and aggression during her visits. Doctor Money attempted to make her accept her new gender by discussing the differences between male and female genitalia. Speaker 2: Doctor Money asked Brenda intimate questions to help her understand the distinction between boys and girls. Speaker 3: The questions were explicit and made me uncomfortable. However, some argue that focusing on genitalia was scientifically correct at the time. Speaker 2: Knowing a child's gender based on their genital appearance is important and commonly used clinically. Note: The concise transcript is within the 150-word limit.

The speaker mentions their 15-month-old child, using they/them pronouns until the child expresses their gender identity. They emphasize the difference between sex (related to genitals) and gender (related to how one presents themselves in the world). Gender includes clothing choices, behavior, and identity shared with others.

We're here to support our child, Violet, and her right to access necessary medical care. It's important for her to be herself, and we won't let anyone silence her. We're from Arizona and are concerned about how this case might impact our state. We've even discussed the possibility of moving, but Violet's needs come first. Violet has known she is trans since she was one and a half years old; she has expressed this since she could speak.
