Jesse Green Of 'New York' Magazine On Limited Liberals, Gay Prejudice And The Trans Kids Who Changed Him

'New York' Mag’s Jesse Green Discusses Misconceptions About Being Transgender, Puberty Blockers And More

In May, New York magazine published a thought-provoking and enlightening piece by writer Jesse Green about transgender kids and their families. Green’s sensitive and nuanced reporting portrayed parents’ struggle to accept and help their children with gender dysmorphia, a condition in which one’s “biological gender” does not match one’s self perception or “brain gender.”

The award-winning journalist asked brave questions about the advantages and consequences of taking “puberty blockers,” medication that stalls the onset of puberty and buys more time for gender-questioning youths to decide whether or not they want to “transition.”
