So I just came across this post and at first, I felt bad for this mother who seems to have a violent teen son (who hits when husband isn't around which can be scary), however, when you scroll through the comments you discover that her child is AFAB. Ugh

Apparently there is no problem in activists' minds with blindly affirming and medicalizing children with severe emotional problems.

Yeah, this poor child might have ASD or a borderline personality disorder and is seeing a counselor who specializes in trans and personality problems. I highly doubt this therapist is critical of transition and is probably pushing this child along.

Did you find the kid's age?

Oh god, it seems she's just 12........

I'd quarantine her from the internet.

As I understand it, the girl has not started taking testosterone.

The mother said her kid needed a lot of therapy before taking that step.

Who knows if the girl has bought T in the black market.

I truly believe she's getting it under the table somehow. This girl must be so troubled and she needs real therapy, not introductory therapy in order to get hormones and top surgery.

It's also possible that she's doing this because it makes her feel masculine :X

Good point!

I think she has an older brother, she might be trying to outdo him in the masculinity department.

Some of the people with whom she has interacted online might have told her where to get testosterone.
