Extended Notes:

  • Sasha and Stella reflect on the joys of meeting people and having face-to-face conversations.

  • The group discusses the revelatory information put forth by Stephanie during the event.

  • Gender distress in a child does not mean the child is trans.

  • Is it ethical to prescribe healthy people a drug that may cause other maladies later in life?

  • Stella stresses the importance of having a dialogue between different groups of people for a common cause.

  • At the conference, the de-trans panel offered a powerful message.

  • Will WPATH build bridges with GenSpect?

  • Being braver in personal conversations will help the gender landscape as a whole.

  • From the clinical side, there has not been an effort to produce therapeutic guidelines on how to work with those who are gender-questioning.

  • When people feel they can share their opinions true change will happen.

Quotes:

“The fact that we have a well-documented history of desistance, between 60%‒90%, tells me that we have a possible story about what dysphoria means and it could resolve, and frankly one of the things that we have investigated over the years is that all of the justifications for going to a medical pathway are based on really flimsy theories that therapy can’t work.” — Sasha [34:35]

“Why would we think that it is acceptable to mess with a young person’s endocrine system?” — Lisa Selin Davis [43:38]

“I think we can all be braver about conversations just even in our personal lives.” — Jessie Mannisto [53:14]
