The much marketed ‘suicide risk’ as a medico-legal rationale for proceeding with these ghastly interventions in children is nothing less than emotional blackmail to get the job done.
The disproportionally high rate of mental health pathology in the GD cohort more than explains the suicidality in those lining up at the gender clinics.
Long-term studies (20 or 30 years) confirm that the outcome of those who ‘transition’ is peppered with suicide and ongoing misery.
The scalpel has no place in managing childhood distress.

It always comes back to psychiatry defining anyone who doesn’t agree with it as catastrophically dangerous. It’s particularly egregious with trans.
It means that soon there will be a national review, country by country of the entire premise of psychiatry.
It has now entirely failed its role to both help those in need, and to protect against the mentally ill.
It must undergo complete reform.
"The golden era".
Sheesh.
A question of perspective!
