Why yes, that does sound about right

Leaked documents last month from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health found some doctors don’t think disclosing potential risks is necessary.

As The Post reported, practitioners believe telling a 14-year-old about possible fertility consequences is like talking to a “blank wall.”

A child psychologist said it’s “out of their developmental range to understand the extent to which some of these medical interventions are impacting them.”

If children can’t understand the medical consequences of an entirely elective procedure that isn’t necessary to benefit their health or save their life, perhaps it’s best not to do it?

Hm.  If you're a doctor, and think a kid cannot understand the consequences, yet you want them to be allowed to choose the treatment, just maybe you're an asshole who should lose your license.

Doctors - First do no harm

To demonstrate commitment, gender chopping doctors must do their own first. Actually.....meh, just hang the evil quacks unless they emigrate or repent.

A look through your study guides would help solve their mental issues:

Boys: Grow up. You'll never look as good as this.
Girls: Grow up. You'll never have a girl as good as this.

better to take the money than to have a bunch of screaming transvestites and media whores show up on your doorstep to protest.

there is no talking to doctors who do not believe in ''first do no harm''

Hmmm, let's see...

Earn my usual plus a boat payment and a monthly country club fee for a few hours of utterly unnecessary and unethical work that I may or may not regret later or...

Earn my usual while maintaining professional standards, avoiding the utterly unnecessary and unethical mutilation of a clearly delusional patient that they will definitely regret later.

Nurse, call the club and get me a tee time for this afternoon.

If "lose your license" means "dragged out and hanged", then we are in agreement.

If a patient is not capable of giving informed consent and the doctor goes ahead, that would be the definition of malpractice.
Tarring and feathering for a first offense seems appropriate.

They should lose WAY MORE than just their license.

Nothing is real about what Shellenberger is saying, he is debunked here.

The fact is there is no delusion to being transgender, it has known genetic causes, is a physical variance in the in utero development of the person, and less than 1% of those who merit medical transition per protocols regret it. That is an upper bound on the real desistance rate, the false positive rate.

Some of us apparently can't drink enough Kool-Aid and have resorted to snorting the concentrate off the back of our hands.

I call BS on your comment. DNA doesn't lie. There are only two sexes.

Lessee, respond with a focus away from what was raised, with a link to a pro-tranny screed showing its bias in the headline... Well, I'm sold!

I'm certain they have training for you guys and gals for how the propaganda is to be disseminated, cuz your version ain't it.

Weird that genetics seems to be exclusively fixated in the leftist American populace, or that its explosion has been so localized to the time and place of bored "revolutionaries"

Innit?
