A Physician’s Duty to Resist Government Interference [False Narrative Alert]

As a physician who came of age in the former Soviet Union, I view with deep concern the widespread efforts by governments at various levels across the United States to ban best practice medical care for transgender youth and adults. Even more concerning and eerily familiar to me is the support these efforts have received from some local medical boards.

The Danger of Physicians’ Collusion with Government in the Abuse of Medicine

It is well documented that in the U.S.S.R., some physicians colluded with government in the widespread, systematic abuse of medicine, specifically psychiatry, for political purposes. The KGB—the internal security agency in the Soviet Union—regularly “treated” political dissidents in cooperation with “prominent” psychiatrists.

Leonid Poretsky, M.D. should have his medical license revoked.

Notice how he's equating protecting children from unnecessary, life-altering mutilation to KGB actions. Hillarious, if it wasn't so psychotic.

--- "...widespread efforts by governments at various levels across the United States to ban best practice medical care for transgender youth and adults" as genitalia are sliced and diced, fake genitalia modeled by plastic surgeons, and with complications aplenty. not to mention those inconvenient young people who regret their "transition" and now are suing the plastic surgeons.

What's the answer?

More trans politics, and in daily doses like "boosters.'

On what evidence are they basing their judgement that this is “best practice”?

Are post-op trans happier? Better adjusted? Less likely to commit suicide?

Invasive surgery is always a radical procedure. To justify it there must clear evidence of benefit. Where is this evidence?

What studies have been published? Which of those studies have replicable results?

“Dr.” Poretsky is a child predator.
