Diane Ehrensaft, a director at the UCSF Benioff Children's hospital, claims kid can identify as a transgender 'Tootsie Roll pop' and there are 'infinite' identities.

Diane Ehrensaft is director of mental health and chief psychologist at the University of California-San Francisco Benioff Children's Hospital gender development center.

Genders listed by Ehrensaft included,"Pangender Youth,""Protogay Children,""Prototransgender Youth,""Gender Teslas,""Gender Ambidextrous Children," and"Gender Smoothies.".

"If present, individual psychological/psychiatric problems are often secondary to negative interpersonal and cultural reactions to a child," she said."It is not for us to say, but for the children to tell [what their genders are]." Proponents of the affirming model argue that it is"life-saving." However, European countries such as Sweden, Norway and Finland have distanced themselves from its use in minors, citing limited research.

After the study was published, the family medicine doctor appeared to distance himself from its findings, saying that when treatments were"optimized" – with surgeries and more hormones – diagnoses such as schizophrenia could"melt away" over time. Diane Ehrensaft is a medical school professor at UCSF and a director of a gender program at the Benioff Children's Hospital.
