It is interesting to note that the challenges facing those who question the legitimacy of the affirmative approach to gender dysphoria in children that exist in France are mirrored in Australia and most likely around the world.

The French Health Minister Frédéric Valletoux statement that “when it comes to medical issues, I will never allow political decisions to take precedence unless they are informed by scientific debate.”

It is a twofold lost cause:

• The ‘scientific debate’ Valletoux referred to is simply the opinion of zealots in the medical profession who are convinced they know what they are doing and thus are justified in short-circuiting the standard demands of building an evidence base.

• Our politicians do not have the courage to undertake a serious review (aka Royal Commission) into the ethics and justification of this dreadful intervention.

After all this time, it still boggles my mind how so many so called “experts” have continued to hold the line on this outrageous and heinous “therapy,” “gender affirming care.” Any physician knows that it is a pile of bunk; that shutting down puberty, an essential part of human growth and maturation can never lead to a good outcome.

What also troubles me is that most of these offenders, and that is what physicians who prescribe this garbage are, will never be held accountable.
