A New Assessment Model for Trans Youth and Families
Susan Evans on a child and family centered approach to gender dysphoria.
Hello, everyone,
Check out the latest video from the Bigger Picture Conference.
Susan Evans discusses her concerns with the way gender dysphoria is treated in children and adolescents. She explains the need for a careful assessment of both the child and their family, challenges the idea that not affirming a child’s gender identity leads to suicide, and advocates for a more thoughtful and supportive approach to mental health.
Susan Evans is a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and retired Clinical Nurse Specialist, known for her work in child gender identity issues. She initiated a 2019 Judicial Review regarding the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) at the Tavistock Clinic and co-authored the book Gender Dysphoria: A Therapeutic Model for Working with Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults. Now in private practice, she specializes in treating families and young people facing gender identity challenges.

Assessment of what?
Calling them "Trans Youth" is the first step to inculcating a diagnosis and iatrogenic harm.
There are no "trans youth." Most are future gay men or lesbians.
If our schools hadn't made the unilateral decision in concert with trans activists and allies to indoctrinate young children on the false idea of "gender" and if social media were not free to spread enticing falsehoods about sex and so-called gender among our youth, gender nonconforming young people today would grow up the way did, clueless that being a boy who likes to play with dolls (like I did) means they're really a girl born in a boy's body.
Sex realists need to make 2025 the year they stand up for and defend youngsters who are almost certainly going to be same-sex attracted from being told they were born in the wrong body or with the wrong brain and pushed onto the trans conveyor belt towards medical and surgical transitioning.
