Imagine two trans kids, 12 years old. One is in Finland, one in the US.

Every few month the Finnish child goes to the clinic where they're separated from their parents and barraged with uncomfortable questions.

The American child sees a therapist who meets them where they are and doesn't judge.

In seperate sessions, the Finnish child's parents are berated and made to feel like they're to blame for having a trans kid.

The American child's parents are spoken with and given information about trans children and a final say in any treatments their child might receive.

The Finnish child and their parents continue to have these sessions for years. High staff turnover means they don't get to know anyone or form lasting relationships with staff. No other support or treatment is offered.
