Informed consent but what if the patients and/or their parents and families bullied and threatened the doctors and therapists to get these plastic surgeries, hormones and puberty blockers?

Young people seldom do. 😔

That's exactly the point of standing up to this delusional gender ideaology. Young people don't have a clue about what they're getting into (sterilization, genital mutilation, & chemical castration). A part of the total number of parents that support their children in following this path usually are homophobic & they would prefer a transitioned straight child over a gay or lesbian child. Only a very very small percentage of people are actual Transexuals who are people who suffer from gender dysphoria. Patients need time to psychologically process transitioning. It used to be at least two years of intense psychological counseling where transitioning was discussed in minute detail. After & during that process the patient must live their day to day life as the opposite sex (clothing & physical appearance) the point being that authentic Transexuals want to melt into society as full members of it as the opposite sex. They do not want added attention to themselves or want to argue over delusional & misused pronouns, while capturing their bullying of society on video. These trans-activists are not Transexuals & they have inserted themselves into the LGB&T Communities by making threats, labeling people as transphobic, & getting people fired from their careers for simply not agreeing with them on the gender ideaology that they insist upon shoving down society's throat. The entire non-binary gender queer trans-activists are making a mockery of all the gains Gay Liberation Movement made since Stonewall. We of the Gay & Lesbian Community were seeking equal rights & the ability to keep our homes & jobs, which we could lose for simply being gay & lesbian & currently in 2024 LGB&T folks can still lose their jobs & homes in 26 States for being gay & lesbian. This trans-activist movement is a cancer on the LGB&T Community & society as a whole.

I’m peri meno. Do you know they can get free HRT at planned parenthood? If I say I am gender dysmorphic/trans I can get free HRT.

Obama death care is written to make this happen though.

There has been a huge movement to silence these people and convince them they are alone and noone will listen to them. They were already vulnerable which is why they ended up in this situation so without the support they needed they were never going to achieve this on their own. Sadly there is a long road ahead before this is fully recognised and apologised for. I don't see an apology coming for at least a generation. Think about the symphysiotomy scandal or the labotomy scandal. Those people didn't get an apology for a generation

I mean it’s about as likely to work as suing the government for the civil rights act. These are poor selfless doctors, the doctors that saved us from the virus! All they’re doing is helping these poor marginalized wayward youths using the “best practices” established by the “smartest experts”! How can they POSSIBLY be responsible???

I find it disturbing how so many different authorities and gate keepers blindly followed this new 'Trans Ideology'. Professional sports organizations not willing to admit to physical advantages for males. Doctors and Phycologists forced to follow WPATH. Politicians in Women's Ministries not able to identify what a woman is. Educators pushing this on children. I don't think I can trust 'Authorities' again.

Go back thirty years to multiple personality disorder. That bullshit went on for years before lawsuits shut it down

It is going to be a difficult road given how much the systems that should allow redress have been infiltrated and undermined. And given the sophisticated tactics already by those with an interest in sterilization of children ( including actual lawfare tactics ). On a side note , could it is so frustrating/ infuriating when people misuse the term "lawfare " to signify legitimate attempts to seek legal redress , thus depriving us of a distinctive term for the illegitimate weaponization of legal processes and costs.

@@georginawhitby1320 I've only ever heard "lawfare" to refer to legal battles in general. Plus, it's a short word and I need short words for punchy titles.

I think there might come a point when a lot of these kids will identify as detransitioners and fly their own flag...however, they won't be sponsored by Pfizer, so...

Mass self unaliving

Kitty?

I'm a gay male who is eunuch who has been castrated and uses low dose estrogen to maintain bones. I present as male but took these steps to maintain my youth. I'm an age player who has dysphoria and am content with engaging with other adults like myself. No "transing the gay away" here.

@@DorianPaige00 why did you castrate? asking from NZ am GC adult woman

​@@DorianPaige00 please stop telling fibs

@@gisellemagraibhaigh8342 The only fibs I had to tell was to the psychologist and doctor and I just stretched the truth a bit saying that I wanted to be trans-feminine. If you look at Richie Heron, Eli Erlick, Rinoa Leonhardt, or Alexander L, they don't really look like women when they cut their hair short. Those are good examples because they like most went through some male development and now don't take or can't take testosterone. They all look about half their age. Even Scott Newgent says that most transgender people look like they are mid-teen boys well into their 40's. What did you think I lied about? I engage with similar males who use gender medicine but don't present as female but it helps us keep our look through the decades. One can no longer make sperm but that doesn't mean you can't have an adequate life complete with sexual relations. I did it because I didn't want to become a man and I don't like masculinized, Tannerized men. One can act as feminine or as masculine as they want but I want a softness that gets lost in the physical masculinization process. A gay who acts feminine is just a masculinized fruitcake.

Not only that, but because there was no science behind it, it was experimental. But they had no experiment design write up, no authorization from governing bodies for an experiment, no ethical body to review the methodology and design, and no consent from those being experimented on! Everyone was told it was settled science. That puts it into Dr. Mengele level experimentation!

Filing the lawsuit is cheap. It's hiring the lawyers, experts, getting evidence etc that is expensive and rightfully so. Lawyers and experts aren't cheap for a reason. It requires a lot of work to write briefs, do the legal research on something this complicated especially a medical and mental health issue.

Do you have a paper trail?

No. They were following the law. The school and teachers aren't really at fault. They were being sued by parents and trans activists organizations to adhere to this ideology. You need to realize this battle has been going on for over a decade. Teachers and school administrators who refused to follow this ideology were fired early on and so other schools went silent out of fear. You have to go after the medical and big pharma. But good luck. They will argue that they were following the standards of care that trans and lgb activists forced on everyone and demanded be written into the law. Remember a lot of trans people, trans kids and trans activists were bullying everyone in society to get this treatment, for pronoun recognition and all other aspects of this ideology to be pushed on the public. This is why a patient should not demand their own treatment or participate in some activist organization to get that treatment written into law.

They still believe the myth that not having access to surgery causes self-deletion. It's a good reason...if it were true... a real "my kingdom for a horse" moment, the damage one badly written/doctored study can do.

I think it's the "more difficult to prove" problem exactly. Even DNA evidence decays or gets contaminated. The longer ago a crime is committed, the more faulty people's memories will be, the more all kinds of evidence come into question of whether they can be verifiable and accurate. Albeit, some of our statutes could probably be updated as forensic science advances.

@amyb.6368 And all these things are accounted for. The criminal justice system already knows about the nature of memory. But if evidence, records, documentation, or recordings exist, even when accounting for the fallibility of human memory, or the fact that over time a criminal is better able to get their story straight with made-up alibis, if you can reasonably prove your case... why not?

​@@analogbunnyyeah I agree. My friend lives in a property where historic sexual abuse crimes against children took place. The crimes were over 35 years ago but the case is being investigated. One of the victims who says they were abused as a child in the property described the property in detail, floorplan, down to particular wallpaper. They (the police,) came and stripped the walls in patches and found under layers of paint the wallpaper described. Also evidence of a fireplace that was described by a victim that was blocked off and bricked up after the fact. They really do take care to ensure that memories are reliable and can be credibly relied upon and verified. Of course not all cases have enough evidence to go forward with but if they do then the perpetrators should not escape justice.

I think, by suing these doctors, it can be a punitive measure to signal to other doctor to actually use their knowledge and not just go along to get along. The doctors, with all their elite knowledge, should have seen the health issues to arise in the future. They were transing people simply to earn money. They weren't self-decived. They were willfully ignorant.

They’ve likely been waiting for public sentiment to shift enough that they’re not immediately attacked on all fronts as transphobic.

Oh well that's good to know. She can just "identify" as a man and it'll be cured then!

It actually states “It’s most common in women or people assigned female at birth (AFAB) during or after menopause….” Which is worse. There are “women” OR “people assigned female at birth” What the actual Fffffffff What is a woman????

I had to look it up for myself - i have truly lost ALL faith in hospitals and medical care

I'm Byzantine Christian, so it's a favorite for me too.

who is Jules, and what is gnostic

Clearly the medical establishment is too protected. 🐿

Yup

Oh dear. 😂

Why was the principle of "do no harm" abandoned in 1973?

None of it is “medically” necessary it is ALL cosmetic and elective

I never understand why people stand on the sidelines of an issue and assert what other should do and think that assertion solves anything. People,shouldn’t be stupid. Everybody should return their grocery cart to the proper place. Politicians shouldn’t lie. People shouldn’t marry the wrong person. There, fixed it.

How would you expect them to pay their bills? Did you hear how much effort each case will take? These are small law firms who couldn’t possibly feed their family without funding. We don't live in a fantasy world where people can dedicate full-time efforts without some remuneration.

Its pressure from the activists that these doctors fear the most. That's because they have never been confronted with fighting their own medical lawsuits from their own hip pockets. Once that hits the scene, they will finally begin to fear the appropriate thing.

Exactly. The patients were bullying and threatening medical professionals as well. I know some psychologists who will no longer work with children because of this and it is too much of a liability to their profession and license.

You are generous, in believing that the consequences are not known and desired by those facilitating these interventions.

It’s the magic of digital media: it doesn’t go bad like fruit, but persists through time, just like a twinkie

I am taking what were called "notes" when I was in school. Basically, I have a pen and a paper, and I write down thoughts and details that will help me formulate appropriate questions later in the interview. This interview covered two pages. I'll show my work: x.com/BenjaminABoyce/status/1797740465728688340

@@BenjaminABoyce Thank you for such a prompt answer! What I found especially compelling during other interviews was your undivided attention and compassionate presence. On the other hand I surely see the value of note taking. May I humbly suggest showing only the speaking person then? Many thanks!

That would double to triple the turn-around for these interviews. Perhaps listening to the podcast would help. This interview in particular was about a complex topic, not so much a personal biography, requiring me to keep many additional details in mind when guiding the discussion.

@@BenjaminABoyce Sorry to have upset you. Thanks again for the content.

Not upset. Appreciate the engagement :)

Lawyers still have to pay staff, expert witnesses need to travel, court fees, even if everyone is working for as cheaply as possible, it adds up. Remember these cases may drag on for years.
