Thanks again, Bernard. It is heartening to see that this damaging lie is gradually being chipped away at. I am sure I am one of many who really appreciate your work on this. Cheers
Great summary BTW, and the first time I’ve read an echo of an observation which is the root of trans.
Trans is a delusion. There is no difference in trans and any number of other delusions of greater or lesser impact on people’s lives.
There is no clinical criteria for delusion which trans does not meet.
The only thing which makes trans a persistent concept separate from a clinical state of delusion are psychiatrists and psychologists who persist in attempting to label a delusion a non-delusion.
Hence in this article:
Abnormal treatment behaviour provides a framework for understanding why some doctors […]
Indeed, why do any doctors persist in providing abnormal treatment for trans delusion at any age which it may present?
The article questions chemical and surgical treatment with no evidence for children.
Indeed, why limit to children?
Affirming delusions is not normal treatment. Why affirm adult male delusions of being female at the cost is of women’s rights and normal legal, medical, scientific and social integrity when there is only contrary evidence to affirming delusions?
Excellent.
Thorough reporting, factual, so incredibly well written, brief but not light, erudite but not heavy.
Also geographically thorough, very usable for me with oppositional colleagues in my work in public hospitals and community health.
Thank you again.
I hope you win awards for your excellent journalism in this field.
Very kind, thanks Elizabeth.

Why!
Perhaps less an ethical dilemma as a flagrant violation of ethics!
