I personally think that there have always been a variety of people who don’t identify with their biological sex for a variety of reasons. For some it’s more about gender roles and for some it is more about physiology and every shade in between. When I talk to these individuals, their thoughts on it and their perspective on how to address it is highly individualized. I attempt to take a non-judgemental stance and try to help them understand their own experience of this and validate that. I think questions on how to treat this from a medical standpoint should not be in the hands of politicians and the only way for us to discover best practices is to continue to treat each patient individually and then see what happens. It is a societal experiment that is completely uncontrolled and that is obviously scary and risky, but the only thing scarier is to act as though we have a solution from either political side when we really don’t and can’t since we can’t experiment on people and especially not kids.
