As a physician, if a patient comes to me who is obviously anorexic, has a history of anorexia nervosa and believes she (mostly girls suffer this disorder, and a few homosexual males) is fat and INSISTS I give her medicine to lose weight I would lose my license for malpractice/reckless endangerment. If she died? Bye-bye life savings and license.
Someone want to explain how this is functionally any different from how modern medical folks besides me treat “trans” individuals?
Pre/post chemical or surgical alteration they STILL have ten times the rate of suicidality as normals (it’s about 40% vs. 4%). Their psychiatric comorbidity rates are MUCH higher (more borderline personality disorders, eating disorders, morbid obesity, self-harm, etc), and on and on.
I don’t HATE them. I feel sorry for them, I wish my colleagues would wake up and stop promoting this insanity, especially on unsuspecting children whose parent(s) or teacher(s) is/are manipulating/grooming them.
I REFUSE to call them by “preferred pronouns” or recognize their “gender preference” for the same reason I don’t interact with children’s invisible friends or psychotics’ delusions.
In a way, I think that people have been sold “trans” ideology as a quick fix to mental problems that prove highly resistant to therapy. If they will just become another person by “changing” their gender, all of their mental problems will disappear. Unfortunately, it isn’t that easy. Their bodies may be mutilated, but the core person who has the problems is still there.
It’s sad, because what they really need is therapy. I think that most “transgenders” are actually suffering major depressive disorder.
