I was at a pretty bad treatment center from November 2009-January 2011. And basically the staff were abusive in every possible way. This place still exists but I am concerned for the trans and other LGBTQ kids. I'm worried when they come out to the staff they won't be taken seriously or will just be called confused and that can really mess a trans kid up. Plus I do know hormones can cause behavior issues and its not the best idea that everyone transtions with hormones so I'm wondering how they handle the kids who are allowed to take hormones and the kids they don't allow. And yes there are those few who may see transtioning as a trend and see other kids doing it and want the same attention.

I looked up this places website and they did have a short copypasta thing about coming out and it was basically just saying "we will support you but you still need to follow our rules and whats best for you and we will decide what you need and everything is a case by case basis and it is inapropriate to get upset or angry over names and dress codes."

I just worry about what they are still doing over there since I've left.
