Much of this was in the LA Times article, I think, but I couldn't find the thread ...

That lawyer makes an interesting point about ‘psychosurgery’ and analogy to lobotomies. It’s really hard to fathom how a movement premised on extremely invasive medical and surgical interventions with life-long consequences is presented as ‘the right side of history’, given the landscape that kind of approach so obviously sits within.

Are we allowed to say 'peaked' on here yet, because it looks like the USA is finally 'peaking' now.

The Irish doctor was she on I am Jazz? So utterly blaze about the surgeries.

I wonder if the health insurance companies are having anything to do with it? Those hormone treatments will be lifelong followed by treatment for all the problems that start.

An explosion in self inflicted, expensive, continual paying out would certainly make the insurance industry think, surely. You only have to check khn.org/news/tag/bill-of-the-month/ to see that money talks loudly.

Law suits is what will do it in the USA.

That dreadful Irish woman surgeon for a start.

Yes. She makes my blood boil.

Sadly, it’s only concern about the lawsuits that’s finally drawing attention to those charlatans.

I would bet my bottom dollar that the “trans doctor” Confused who’s “finally speaking out” has calculated that he’s benefited very well financially from the ideology of genderism and now he wants to creep away to a quiet life of luxury. I don’t believe for a second any of these “doctors” have the slightest bit of concern for the physical or psychological well-being of the teenagers they “treat” Sad.

But thank Christ that the issue is coming increasingly to public attention.

The Washington Post, LA Times, the powerful Ross Douthat piece in the New York Times too, all in the space of a week.

They can see the lawsuits coming, and the ones that speak up now hope to avoid some of the fall out, like turning Queen's Evidence.

But I guess, golden bridge and all that

KittenKong · 16/04/2022 08:33

I assume lawyers are involved…

ChopinBoard · 16/04/2022 08:32

No shit, Sherlock! It's a shame these people had to do so much damage before reaching such an obvious conclusion. I hope the lawsuits are successful.

Thank god they’re waking up!

There seems to be a bit of a push back in the US. The Washington Post has also published a 'cautious approach' article in the last few days. I think maybe the tide is turning over there a bit.
