Hopefully this report will go to the mainstream news and then they might stop giving irreversible surgeries to children.

Amazing job on this. I was reading Erin in the Morning' and her imagined 'fact check'. Right away the focus is on the 'heavily editorialized' content [their paper] rather than the long list of deeply disturbing facts revealed by those clinicians. She focused on presenting competing statistics or disagreeing with a subjective opinion and supposedly finding hundreds of errors.

All I did is watch the MP4 video of their zoom meeting and it left me chilled. They speak candidly about what they do at work. It doesnt get more primary than someone's firsthand account. Here we have this panel of six doctors, and while one is describing blatantly egregious violations of basic medical ethics, others are nodding in agreement. How child patients & their parents will have no capacity to make give an informed consent. No grasp of the serious, life-altering and often adverse implications they will have to live with for life. How they do these operations on people other serious issues: like homelessness, addiction and mental illness — but 'the insurance pays" so its all good. It is chilling.

Address that, Erin. Someone who supposedly cares about trans issues and individuals. Her inability to address the most primary and cogent and disturbing facts revealed in the files speaks volumes for her. And for those, like Erin, desperate to make this about 'right wing intolerance' - it's just not. Literally everyone I know is liberal and although that is only an anecdotal sampling it makes no difference. No one who knows what is going on supports this. Probably because it's illegal and morally indefensible to perform radical experimental procedures on people who have no capacity to consent. What is being done is just transparently indefensible - and that's true no matter where you stand politically.

The bottom line is kids cannot consent and their parents are bullied into consenting on their behalf by having false beliefs about suicidality thrust upon them by “affirming“ therapists. Any movement that advances its cause by threats of suicide is not to be trusted.
