When the top tier of evidence supporting a medical intervention (a randomised controlled trials (RCT)) is absent, the justification for applying that medical intervention is severely limited to scenarios such as the use of an experimental drug in a terminally ill person (some cancer therapies might apply and patients would be informed of the experimental nature of the therapy)
In the absence of top tier evidence to support the of puberty blockers cross sex hormones and irreversible mutilating surgery in children burdened with a diverse range of mental health conditions would be a violation of the most basic tenet of medical practice.
COVID and ivermectin revealed how reviews of low quality studies could be engineered to produce whatever outcome you were looking to, and I'd say medicine in general is in denial about how many low quality studies are done in its name.
What this issue really needs are formal hearings led by a hard headed investigator that can call people to the stand in the manner of congressional inquiries in the US. Then with camera flashes and stenographers cataloguing every minute of their testimony, we would see how confident they are in offering indefensible statements like 'fully reversible'. Only with the heat of perjury and social stigma will these people wake up to what they are doing.
It’s all because of stupid, vain pollies handing out money to career activists. Imagine if parents and detransitioners, and staff fired from their jobs for raising objections, and women who’ve had their awards and prizes taken by men- if they could all bring a class action against government ministers for misconduct / failing to act impartially.
When friends ask why I’m such a “bigot” or “transphobe”, they glaze over when I try to explain that I am neither. They then find every reason to not believe that what I’m saying is true- eg “but that’s not the case here in Australia” etc. I tell them it is actually much worse here, we have far more children on hormones / lining up for cosmetic surgery in QLD alone, than the entire UK did when they shut the Tavistock clinic. I send them links to peer reviewed journals to support my claims, but they prefer not to read them. I feel like I’ve checked out socially, because it’s very upsetting to be called a right wing bigot by friends who I thought know me better than that. I spend a lot of time in my garden, and I really love some of the sparky independent thinking people I’ve met around these issues. https://www.governmentnews.com.au/concerns-raised-about-government-links-to-advocacy-group/

I guess this is where the “transition or suicide” line serves a purpose.
. . . and that was probably one of the most wicked lies in the history of contemporary medicine.

If this is for real, and I have no doubt that it is, the it is then it is scandalous.
It is both real and scandalous- it’s why we are saturated with rainbow soup. There’s a dawning awareness elsewhere in the world about how scandalous this is, but here in Australia we remain mostly ignorant, drinking the kool aid and signalling our virtue like mad. https://www.vice.com/en/article/ak38ak/uk-government-shuts-down-nhs-lgbtq-diversity-program-rainbow-badge-scheme?fbclid=IwAR1e5DzY_TeJyafsyaKwe7eSDf_wbOS2TIFnXXB6aAX4eyYLQdLkTGHwMG0_aem_Aai3esfkv541VU406qvTx8-Tk7roRRIMUmJiBW-iZB2l_89QDzGW9BJjhZ1oznUSj9A
