No child is born in the wrong body, yet children of all ages are being deceived daily by teachers, doctors, therapists, and sadly, sometimes even their parents. A boy who likes to “put on a dress like Mommy” is told that he might be a girl trapped inside a boy’s body. A girl who likes playing with toy trucks is told that she might have a “boy brain” and that her body is wrong and needs to be “fixed.”

When children and adolescents feel uncomfortable with the way their bodies are developing or feel that they do not fit in with their same-sex peers, this false idea they've heard offers a convenient explanation for something that is much more complex. Led to believe that their discomfort means they were born in the wrong body, they are further misled that medical intervention is the only way to treat their discomfort.

Today such children rarely receive adequate mental health support to address their feelings of confusion and discomfort. Instead, they are given puberty blockers and wrong-sex hormones, double mastectomies and genital surgeries, resulting in the removal of their reproductive organs, all before they're old enough to legally get a tattoo, join the military or drink alcohol. These medical experiments cause irreversible damage to their bodies and make them lifelong medical patients.

This is the standard of care in the U.S. and many other countries.
