" it is worth noting that we, along with most of the other authors, are liberals."

Liberals. Riiiiiiiight.

In the way 1Nut is a Chinese, "open borders" liberal.

"Attack the source"

Well, they're liberals. Isn't that your job?

" patients receiving unproven interventions"

I've known four people before, and after, transitioning.

To a person, they were tortured souls who never fit into their own skin.

Now, to a person, they're gloriously happy.

Some folks would deny them that chance. I, for one, don't feel like it's my decision.

" Do you honestly support chemical castration and surgical mutilation of minors?"

I believe you're sticking your nose between the child, the parent(s), and the doctors. In situations where you're only to the Dunning-Kruger stage.

This article suggests puberty-blockers should be revisited. Not much more.

" Is the concept of medical malpractice foreign to you?"

Not at all. I served on health committees and boards for two decades, and was a Trustee of a health plan.

Meanwhile, you're pretending to know better, without a single iota of education.

" We are talking about minors having life altering chemicals administered and procedures performed."

And rather than address the specific issue, your answer is ALWAYS to deny any-and-all treatments.

In the board meetings, we'd make you go sit at the little kid's table.

" Your answer always is to lop off 11 year old Jonny's dong "

If you're going to resort to lying, I'm done.

BTW, how many post-trans folks do you know in real life?

" Do you even take into consideration the newer evidence being produced "

Of course I do. That's why I said upthread puberty blockers should be revisited.

Do you ever take these folk's torture into consideration? If so, I've yet to see it.

But how about this: what if I call YOUR doctor, and dictate what medical care YOU can receive? Good idea, or not? And do I get bonus points because I don't inquire about any details?!?

"I'm differentiating minors and adults."

Is that why you lied about the minor?

" That's Snoofy level attempt at equivalence"

You're just embarrassed it's spot-on.

In one case, it's someone who isn't the doctor, patient, or guardian usurping their decisions.

And in the other case, it's someone who isn't the doctor, patient, or guardian usurping their decisions.

" Do you support or oppose any regulations on health care?"

I 100% oppose you sticking your nose between doctors and patients.

Clear enough for you?

" it's a good argument that unfortunately rests under the assumption that this is sound medicine and it is anything but. "

Based on what bona fides of yours?

FFS, all you have is an opinion, and it's that you belong between patient and doctor.

" assuming you are interested in actually discussing this"

Frankly, I'd rather discuss these subjects with folks who are actually knowledgeable about the subject.

You've already claimed 11-year-olds are getting their Johnson's cut off on a regular basis. Do you believe that's the default?!?
