The implementation of an invasive, irreversible, experimental, life-altering, hormonal and surgical procedure that has little evidence of long-term efficacy and safety, in otherwise healthy children and adolescents, has perhaps more red-flags than any other medical misadventure in modern medical history.
Turning boys into girls and visa-versa would seem to be the exclusive domain of the divine.
The history of medicine is littered with monumental disasters promoted by well-meaning experts who were certain that they knew what they were doing.
The late/great US journalist Sydney J. Harris summed it up:
“History repeats itself but in such a cunning disguise that we never detect the resemblance until the damage is done”
