Lisa  Shultz
“Even when raised by a loving parent, a young adult may be influenced to the point of hopping on the fast-moving trans train and leaving the loving family behind.”
Lisa Shultz, The Trans Train: A Parent's Perspective on Transgender Medicalization and Ideology

Lisa  Shultz
“I will ask over and over until I die why doctors, therapists, school educators, and counselors are not looking deeply at the individual in front of them and creating a treatment plan with options that heal trauma, offer tools and adaptive coping strategies to navigate their emotional life, and address underlying mental issues before placing that young person on a rapid medicalization pathway that ignores complex dynamics of their personality and experiences.”
Lisa Shultz, The Trans Train: A Parent's Perspective on Transgender Medicalization and Ideology
