Flashback: Duke Psychologist Says Parents Are in the Way of Doctors Selecting the ‘Right Puberty’ for a Child

EXCERPT:

WHICKER: “And I -- I just really want people to understand a little bit more about that, you know, I think a lot of parents get scared when they're, you know, kind of might disclose something. And, you know, looking at this bill, it's like, they're so scared that they might be hiding something from them, maybe for a good reason. But they're, they're trying to codify it into law. And so we know that they're -- we know that they're early bloomers, they're late bloomers naturally. And this is a really well thought out process that we work on in our team. And we need to be able to have adequate time to assess and address the child's gender identity and experience and work with them, and their families. Even families who are having problems. And the goal of that is to make sure that this kid, this girl goes through the right puberty.”
