After she had edited the article and published it (I had not found this out until 20 hours later) I was extremely frustrated. The article makes it out that my mother had no say in the implant of the Supprelin. This is completely false.

My mother claims that she was pressured into saying yes by the doctors. A big issue they point out is that the doctors quoted suicide statistics in transgender adolescents. I do not deny that these statistics were quoted, but I also sustain that the doctors didn’t say (continued)

(continued) that I was at substantial risk of this. The article mentions that my grades dropped from A’s and B’s to D’s and F’s in a semester. This is a completely exaggerated statement. My grades were on a steady decline since 2020 due to unrelated mental health concerns.

Speaking of mental health, the article claims that my mental health issues can be attributed to the Supprelin implant, however, my personal experience shows that this is not the case. Since Covid-19, my mental health has been declining, and it was already an issue.

I was in counseling with the Washington University transgender care center in which I was treated amazingly by my counselor. She was a friend to me and offered a great amount of support. This was taken away when my mom revoked consent for the Supprelin.

After she revoked consent, my father and I, along with the university, attempted to set up a meeting with my mom. She did not attend this meeting, claiming that she was not contacted. Later, she admitted that she was.

@CarolineRose79 @SleepyOktobur you're targeting your own child on twitter. you may not realize this, but by doing this you are guaranteeing that they will be mobbed by transphobes on here. you're bullying your own child and encouraging transphobic harassment. please, please reconsider.

@CarolineRose79 @SleepyOktobur just, apologize, delete the tweet. figure out some other way to talk about this with your child that does not involve targeting them for a right wing mob.

@CarolineRose79 @SleepyOktobur I'm sure you're upset and you may not understand the dynamic, but twitter is filled with hateful transphobic people. they will use this as an excuse to hurt your child. again, please reconsider.

@LissaJStrange @nberlat @CarolineRose79 @SleepyOktobur Yup. She is hoping negative social pressure will cause her kid to change.

@Mckenzi79691567 @nberlat @CarolineRose79 @SleepyOktobur Maybe negative social pressure will cause her to change instead.
