Apologies for the DM link but this is very well written. I particularly liked: “But I hope you will still be alive when this malpractice is revealed for what it is: the enabling by the medical profession of pseudo-science in the same way as surgeons in 1930s Germany, the USA and elsewhere sterilised the 'feeble-minded' in the name of eugenics.'

Father's letter begging top surgeon to cancel trans operation

A distraught father begged leading plastic surgeon Mohsen El Gammal at the Cadogan Clinic in Chelsea, west London, not to remove his 20-year-old daughter's breasts in a transgender operation.

Just appalling.
The only way this will stop is when the law suits start. Hopefully very soon.

Yes. Even if such surgery is the right thing for a small number of people with severe dysphoria, the large increase in young women having double mastectomies is sad and shocking. Often they have additional MH problems or autism.

I follow one such young woman on Twitter/X and the surgery and hormones have done nothing to improve their MH. It was put forward as The Answer but it’s clear it hasn’t been an answer at all.
