Isn't quintessentone supposed to trust the experts? Wouldn't they have been the ones to recommend a psychological consult as the experts over the parents?
Depends on the experts-
Was this girl a suicide risk? Simple question.
why don't you read the article I have linked?
Why don't you define this sentence:
"Layla was a severely troubled 11-year-old when she self-diagnosed herself as suffering from gender dysphoria."
What does severely troubled mean to you?

How exactly would this be considered an act of war?
It's an act of war because of the impact it will have on our next generation. It is already hurting our military recruitment. Our military is now helping it's soldiers with trans surgery? You don't see the problem with that?
edit on 17-6-2023 by fringeofthefringe because: (no reason given)
I think we have very different definitions of "act of war". For example; Pearl Harbour, 9/11, Embassy bombings, invasions, etc... Those are acts of war.
If this were your daughter would you have taken the word of a doctor, who after only 100 minutes with you and your kid, decided that she needed this would you have gone along with it?

What does severely troubled mean to you?
What does self-diagnosed mean to you? 80%+ of young people who identify as trans are actually just gay.
I just read where the first doctors at that medical clinic seeing Layla refused to treat her because she was too young, but the parent(s) and Layla insisted so much so that they were then referred to three other doctors who started the treatment.
I also read where Layla had severe problems before transition and because of her unrealistic thoughts of how society would treat her afterwards, she then became disillusioned and unhappy with her transition. It all seems to have hinged on how society would treat them after transitioning. Did the doctors prepare Layla for the harsh realities of the anti-trans sentiment she would face? Whose responsibility would that be to prepare these patients for the realities of an intolerant society?
A lot needs to be unpacked here. It well be that the doctors could be at fault but that remains to be proven.

45% of children who receive gender-surgery end up committing suicide.
are you serious mate ? Christ I hope you are mistaken.
Nope, there are numerous articles on the subject. Pre-transition, post-transition, it screws up the kids in a big way.
And it's getting worse, not better.
Which is what the leftists probably wanted.
Yes, it is extremely high, being a kid is tough enough especially today where they can be bullied 24/7.
No doubt a child with these problems on top of everything else probably isn't going to have the coping skills needed. It snowballs into thier sexuality and they latch on to it as the only cause the only reason for thier pain and confusion.
Hell, so-called normal kids have debilitating issues, self-harm, depression, anxiety, obesity, drug abuse, alcohol, etc. are still prevalent. Shouldn't we find irreversible surgical procedures for all tweens and teens with these afflictions as well?
That is why, first and foremost. . . . .
LEAVE THE CHILDREN ALONE!
We can't leave the children alone to work out their own issues or suicidal thoughts as most parents don't have a clue what to do in these situations that's why they seek help from their doctor and it is at that point that the doctor decides if other medical professionals need to provide treatment.
I wonder if there is a correlation between the rise in trans activism and the rise in suicides.
I'll bet there is.
If you leave out all the other factors that play into why young people commit suicide, then you will win your bet.
Everything else is consistent, the only variable is the rise in trans activism.
Trans activism is killing children.
Studies prove it is anti-trans that is causing the problems...societal intolerance is the culprit.
Trans activism is producing a pushback because of their extremist views.
Question; Do you, like trans activists, believe that everyone is born trans and that it is the harmful parenting pushing heterosexual behavior that is causing this?
Since I am not a trans activist I cannot answer like them.
Not a direct response to this case⌠yet you refused to respond otherwise earlier⌠curious

It takes years to actually diagnose, and it also seems to not be good to start transitions before puberty as the person gets stuck in some somewhere in-between state. Jazz who transition very young didn't have enough penis yet to create what was needed and so is dealing with some pretty horrendous issues with how they ended up doing it.

So kind of like many 11-year-old girls... Once again,m we are talking about an 11-year-old. "intolerant society" oh I see what you did there...
Here's an interesting read:
When a young child expresses that they are a gender other than their sex assigned at birth, their parents may support them in finding their own, unique identity. This can involve changing the childâs name, clothing or pronouns.
Once a transgender youth reaches puberty, a doctor may prescribe them with reversible puberty blockers to safely delay the effects of puberty. Puberty blockers are not âexperimentalâ treatments, but FDA approved medications that have been used to treat precocious puberty in non-transgender children for several decades. Scientific studies demonstrate that access to puberty blockers reduces suicidal ideation and that parentsâ affirmation of their childâs gender identity reduces rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide to levels consistent with their cisgender peers.
The World Professional Association of Transgender Healthâs handbook, that doctors and clinicians use to socially, psychologically and medically treat transgender youth, states that irreversible genital surgeries should not be carried out until the individual is of legal age to consent to any procedure. This approach is supported by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians.
Many transgender people regret not coming out when they were younger, and wish they had support from parents, schools and society to do so. When kids are allowed the freedom to safely express themselves, they are happier, healthier and grow into thriving adults.

So I wonder if Layla was considered a 'mature minor'.
en.wikipedia.org...#:~:text=By%20definition%2C%20a%20%22mature%20minor,decisions%20alone%2C%20without%20parental%20app roval.
There are a lot of questions to be answered in this case.

Here's the court document:
www.documentcloud.org...
As I said previously, I will wait until the trial is over so I can learn both sides of the story. Here you all have one side. If you notice Layla was verbalizing self harm and all of this information would have been provided to the three doctors who ultimately ended up giving her the transitioning treatment. It just shows self harming behaviour is very serious and this must have been taken into account by the doctors.

I think you might be confusing "act of war" with treason, which in my opinion is what our government is and have been doing. They have been sellouts to other nations for years and no matter how many people point it out and bring it to light, they don't care and they will continue on with what they want that best benefits them.
