On Monday, The Daily Signal<\/a> posted an article about Amaya Price, a 20-year-old who was going to share his struggles with gender dysphoria\u00a0<\/a>in high school and how he overcame them at an event about social change for a class at Berklee College of Music, a private music college in Boston. The college forced him to cancel the event, but the MIT Open Discourse Society allowed Amaya Price to host his lecture on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019ve given a lot of these parents hope, because I\u2019m here today, I\u2019ve been through this, I came out the other side, and I\u2019m OK,\u201d he said, \u201cThat\u2019s what a lot of these parents need. They need hope. And right now how it is in Massachusetts, especially, there aren\u2019t a lot of places to look.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amaya Price\u2019s presentation highlighted the hate he says he has received on social media since announcing his event and his journey from identifying as trans to accepting his biological sex. He ended with the reminder: \u201cNo child is born in the wrong body.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Amaya Price, who has been diagnosed with autism, said he experienced social ostracism and a mental health crisis in ninth grade, leading him to decide his problem was that he actually was a girl.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He told his therapist, who affirmed his gender dysphoria and referred him to Boston Children\u2019s Hospital for hormones and surgeries. His pediatrician told Amaya Price\u2019s father he could choose between having a \u201cdead son or a living daughter,\u201d and that the then-14-year-old would kill himself if denied hormones and surgery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amaya Price\u2019s father immediately shut down the possibility of a medical \u201ctransition,\u201d which his son now says is \u201cthe best thing he could have done.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amaya Price calls himself a\u00a0\u201cdesister,<\/a>\u201d someone who identified as transgender but decided to live in accord with his biological gender instead of undergoing medical interventions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blackmailing parents by telling them their child will commit suicide if they are not allowed life-changing medical treatments that will permanently alter their lives should be considered medical malpractice. Children who change genders generally have a higher rate of suicide. That might be because the gender dysphoria might be a symptom or a deeper problem rather than being the problem. Also, a child who changes their gender will be on hormones for the rest of their life as their body attempts to go back to where it was. No trans surgery can change DNA.<\/p>\n
