The problem I see in the future is the "specialist trap". Once the primary care doctor (someone like me) makes the decision to refer the patient, the specialist who is not seeing a randomized population, will be more biased to intervene vs. not intervene simply because they've been referred a patient that another provider deemed was necessary for referral.

It's like the old adage, to a surgeon, everything is surgical. To a hospitalist, nothing is surgical.

To a pediatric endocrinologist specializing in gender, everything is true gender dysphoria.

(I'm not saying that that's how it actually works in the medical field, just that it COULD be a problem in the future)

Has Scruffy encountered adolescents that want be trans in his profession? shite like this is sickening to see. Does humanity have any morality left? I was born in the early 80s so I'm not really old but times have change so much over the last decade. These progs/libs who advocate for shite like this are fricking pathetic. I don't give two shits if people want to be queer, trans or whatever floats their boat but don't fricking indoctrinate kids to believe this shite is normal

Doctor who made the diagnosis of "gender dysphoria" should lose his license at a minimum.


The doctor basically called him crazy. Diagnosed him with a psychological disorder. I'm missing why there's so much outrage in this thread about the doctor's diagnosis. Transgenderism is a mental disorder.

The outrage needs to be directed at the fools who allowed him to start taking estrogen.

The question has been asked before, but:

If a 10-17 year old can determine what sex they should be, why can they not consent to sexual intercourse?

Libs haven't answered that one yet


The willful ignorance on the subject irks me.

sounds like it was a misdiagnosis.

So the doctor who misdiagnosed and prescribed him the meds is not to blame? There is a lot of blame to be given here and the kid is in the middle of it

Probably, but as with all psychological disorders, the only information available to the doctor is essentially limited to what is told to him by the patient.

Oh absolutely. Whoever prescribed the meds is a damn clown. But the article doesn't say whether that was the same one who diagnosed or not. It says they were given advice from many professionals. The diagnosis shouldn't be the outrage, the prescription of medicine to transition a 12 year old should be.

Well you just busted my bubble. I was going to say "thank God he's not in the military or we would be paying for it". Chances are you're 100% correct.





Well, this is in Australia so I'm pretty sure he's not. Cosmo is usually right on these things, kind of surprised he didn't notice that.

No, haven't seen this at all. It isn't nearly as prevalent as the media makes it out to be.

No minor should be allowed to do this. No one over the age of 18 should be given hormones or surgery without a year of counseling and dressing in drag.

The one that really cracks me up is that they think these kids should be able to determine their gender but they can't drink until 21, and some states they can't buy tobacco until they're 21 too.

Well, their reasoning is massively contradictory, so they avoid those questions.

The rationale for not giving kids the death penalty (or in some states, life in prison) is because they're brain isn't fully developed... therefore they can't fully comprehend the ramifications of their actions

Particularly California... and i mentioned them from a documentary on kids facing life in prison, and their entire justification was based on lack of mental development

Yet, these same people willfully ignore the same exact data when it is in the name "social progressivism", "social activism" and "social justice"... it's astounding how morally and mentally bankrupt some people are

And these same people don't give two fricks about the people involved... they only care about themselves and winning political and social points, at the expense of other people's lives

Rant over

Statistically speaking, there is a 40% chance that this happens. That is the suicide rate for people diagnosed with gender dysphoria.
