Becoming Board-certified is a stringent process: www.abpsus.org/board-certification-physician

I know one Board-certified person (not a physician). They said that the process was more exacting than their PhD (and they have a STEM PhD).

WOW! I don't know what else to say without breaking TG.

Heh. I had much the same thought.

Read this when it was doing the rounds on Twitter. Shame it's associated with the right, anti-gay and anti-women. I think it still has it merits though and it's a good round up of the issues the book represents.

I had a heavy heart after reading it :-(

It's not because I wasn't aware of much of what they essay contained, it's just seeing it all in one place as it were, showed the enormity of the decision to enable children down a path of transition.

Thanks for linking to that essay. It was one of the clearest and most heartbreaking pieces I have read so far about the risks of the transcult to children. I actually feel quite tearful now

That was an interesting and troubling read. My heart goes out to the poor kid.

Indeed - the essay itself is very factual however.

Unfortunately despite the interesting content, the organisation who host it are conservative and are anti-gay rights and pro life. Why is it only the right wing who publish this? So many people will dismiss without reading purely because of the link to the witherspoon institute.
