It is I not surprising that medical students have hitched their wagon alongside the pro affirmative model. Our campuses are becoming ever more woke, misguided and obsessed with nonsense.
The fact that AMSA’s statement claim that “gender-affirming treatment was based on high-quality evidence” says a lot as to their grasp of the concept of evidence based medicine.
The logical endpoint for a "trans" child is, at best, a life of misery and nonstop medical interventions, and, at worst, an early death either by suicide or surgical complications. This is a horror show.
Dear universe, please let the Senate vote for a national enquiry into the evidence for medicalised paediatric care when it resumes 31 July. Thanks A Mum.
The Labor Government will never order an inquiry. None of the Labor States will.
The only chance for an inquiry is the sole remaining Liberal State, Tasmania and I expect the chances of that happening are close to zero with the current Premier.
I think the only way to stop this medical disaster is through the courts or with a new Liberal Govt( hopefully wihout any LINOs).
When science is corrupted as in the example you cite:
"a woman was anyone who claimed to be a woman”,
there is really nowhere to go. Without respecting scientific realities medicine becomes the domain of the absurd. Gender transition may be just the beginning.
Yes, Guy, we recall the federal ALP conference in 2018 endorsed the policy of obligatory “ affirmation “ model of care for minors ( along with the punitive “ anti conversion “ therapy for miscreant clinicians) and such policy endorsements is binding, across all ALP state jurisdictions. Were the current Qld opposition LNP to gain government next year , a preliminary tactic, for the current opposition Health spokesperson, would be to obtain the intuitively majority opinion ( unsupportive of hormonal intervention in minors) of state registered Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists ( via a , say, voluntary plebiscite/ secret ballot) providing such powerful evidence, on which to rely, in proposing a bill to the next parliament to mandate obligatory deferment of hormonal intervention in minors. The bill might also include the redaction of the current punitive “ anti conversion “ legislation. For as long as Health remains a statutory State Government responsibility such might prevent any overriding of a Federal ALP Government? So, Queensland has an opportunity to perhaps lead a charge, State by State, in providing the legislative change? What alternate path is there, to obtain protection for future vulnerable children, other than State by State legislation, backed with the intuitive majority from relevant specialist clinicians. There would be skin and hair flying, to incrementally introduce such legislative changes-as the subset ( likely minority) of protagonists claim all experience and clinical “ knowledge “ and so to their minds easily justify derision or dismissing of others.

I had to read right through this time.
