Kids ‘need to be grounded in reality’: Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, the ‘truthful therapist’

Time Text
There's a psychologist called Diane Ehrensaft who said that boys who open up their onesies and dance around, they're expressing that they really want to be girls because that's like a dress.
Or if a girl is pulling out the barrettes, a boy, girl, I'm getting it mixed up, pulls the barrettes out of her hair that she doesn't want to be a girl.
Right? Which I think someone with common sense would just look at, well, these are fussy babies that just don't want to wear barrettes or don't want their onesie on, right?
And that's sort of natural.
Kids don't want to wear their shoes.
They throw off their shoes.
Does that mean they don't want feet anymore?
But that is the philosophy.
And a lot of people start to believe it because people with these fancy letters that come from these fancy institutions repeat that over and over again.
So that's become the mainstream narrative.
However, there are people...
People like me and several others, and I think more than I even know, because they have been silenced, believe that kids don't really know themselves, that they need adults to guide them.
They need to be grounded in reality.
They need empathy and compassion, especially if they're struggling with being in their bodies, but to help them figure out their reality.
And generally speaking, when they have distress over their gender, then we need to wait and see what happens.
And usually they do grow out of it.
