Way back when, I worked with anorexics at a treatment center - not as a counselor.

We did the opposite with anorexics as parents, doctors, therapists, and medical associations are doing now with "trans" kids - we encouraged body acceptance and positivity. We tried to "fix" these girls minds instead of encouraging them to change their bodies to match their warped self-image.

I don't know why people my age, who should truly know better, can't see this trans kids thing as the outrage it is - you're telling kids that they aren't perfect, that they need to spend $$$ and venture into the medical wilderness to "fix" themselves, well, their bodies, when it's their minds that need help. It's unfathomable that parents and therapists can't see that.

It is really insane. I don't understand how any of the adults supporting this can live with themselves. it's mind boggling
