For sure. The identification as ‘trans’ or ‘No binary’ is most often a symptom of great distress. Not a true identity. This has been a huge embarrassment for my field of pediatrics. So much harm has been done

I'm grateful to hear from pediatricians, even anonymously, that feel this way. Please know that many parents are eager to see more from your field stepping forward. We are desperate for signs that we can count on the professionals we've looked to for guidance since our children were born. It's been most unsettling to realize in recent years, especially in a blue state, that I'm not sure I can trust pediatricians on this issue. (I know many of you are probably just trying to do your jobs, feed your families, etc.)
