I watched your testimony (and everyone else's). You were so clear and direct. I appreciated your voice so much. Mom to a gender-confused son here, and so terrified of what's going on in this country. Thank you for your bravery. I know the tide will turn, but it's very frightening right now.
Thank you, for writing this! In Ohio the media coverage is shabby and parents who question or fight the medical community are dealt with disdain. You were so courageous to be here. I live in Ohio and am a member of www.CardinalSupportNetwork.com. Many do not realize how hard it is to find a decent therapist who is willing to get to the heart of a vulnerable person's issues that led to the transgender ideation. (They can come to our website confidentially) Sadly, they are not super interested for the most ". Why? Because in the city for example, there's a "gender identity conversion therapy law that will punish them if they do." It purposely confuses sexual orientation with gender dysphoria and protects the gender clinic whose directer is friends with the legislator that put it into place and was the Director of their Lobby pet, Living with Change, funded by parents who are transitioning their son since age 5.
Our group supports parents of kids who want the best mental health therapy for their children since they will grow out of it. Their kids demand transition, are transitioning regardless of their parent's agreement or are estranged (which is encouraged by the gender clinics tucked into our ONCE trusted Ohio Children's Hospitals. How can you trust a hospital that takes a self diagnosis as a reason for puberty blockers, wrong sex hormones and surgeries. It's also quite troubling that two doctors on this committee are part of the gender industry and have the audacity to defend it without long term studies to back up their claims. What do they give the public? Activist comments, no doubt supplied by activist Ohio organizations. Their careers will die on this hill, especially Somani who does hysterectomies on girls as young as 18 and calls it "gender affirming care". Well done! We appreciate you so much and will post this article far and wide in Ohio.
Thank you Prisha for your writing and keeping us up to date. You young people give me hope for the future because without compassion and bravery, how can anything change. May you and all those who have detransitioned and desisted (and those not knowing what to do) be protected by armies of angels. God bless you.
Thank you so much for coming to tell your story. You were right after me. Your story and timeline match so closely with my daughter's own. I started crying when you were speaking, knowing that could have been my daughter. I had to thwart the law to get her appropriate mental health care, risked losing custody of her to the state, all because my goal was to make sure she knew where the dysphoria was coming from before she did something permanent that she couldn't take back. Keep telling your story. Your righteous anger reverberated in that room.

It was hard, but she just made her side look bad.
