I'll be blunt. We do ourselves a disservice and sound like helicopter parents if we refer to our college age children as children in this context. Legally, they are adults. Neurologically, they are still adolescents until they are in their mid-twenties. No one should be medicalized before 22-25. However, I imagine how I would have perceived this letter before I was aware of the ROGD epidemic--a mother infantilizing her daughter; a mother who focuses on HER life being turned upside down (and not the daughter's). Too emotional. Too verbose. I agree with everything you've written and I feel your pain. However, as a strategy to actually get a reply and start communicating with a bioethics researcher? Unfortunately, I wouldn't expect a response.
They are being told the lie at an early age that their identity can shift, be discovered, had been repressed, just like that and then that the new one requires medical intervention, that otherwise they will never feel better and never recover.
No surprise that you received no reply. My daughter's pediatrician flatly refused to accept a copy of Irreversible Damage as a gift. FLAT. OUT. REFUSED.
Excellent letter! One thing- near the end where you say “Imagine if…” and how your child claiming the opposite gender identity would turn your world upside-down, I think it should say that wanting hormones and surgery would turn your world upside-down. Kids want weird things all the time. If they mention of gender transitioning itself is mind blowing, you sound “trans-phobic,” but you aren’t. Being clear and avoiding being misconstrued is important. The advocates will latch onto anything to debunk you.

Doctors are too busy to think about what they do
