During the course of the #SaveJames trial, expert witnesses--REAL expert witnesses--were brought in to talk about the hazards of medical transitioning--the process by which a person starts taking puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical procedures--to bring the person more in line with his perceived gender. Your sex is determined from the moment of conception; your gender identity is formed over time and is formed based on biology, interpersonal forces, psychological forces, and social forces.
It is not abnormal for children to experience identity confusion when they are growing up. For those that do, their gender identity is resolved upon exiting adolescence.
In some cases, confusion can lead to gender dysphoria, a psychological disorder. The experts warned that gender dysphoria is more an ideological belief than any type of an established science, and they also warned that seeking to transition a child from a boy to a girl, or vice versa, was filled with dangers. In most cases, the person's psychological struggles are not resolved; in many cases, they get worse.
One expert warned that any type of medical transitioning should be conducted only on clinical conditions, with very strong safeguards. Both experts questioned the ethical behavior of people who advocate or permit or affirm a position that will lead to a medical transition.
