					<description><![CDATA[@ Patrick &#062;  &quot;The is [a] curious lack of studies that do a head-to-head comparison to show the superiority of one treatment over the other.&quot;

Meaning &quot;why hasn&#039;t this happened yet?&quot; - not curious (strange, illogical) at all: no one is funding those studies, because they don&#039;t want to proof that the money-making trans treatments are worse than useless.

https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1666496308150951954
&lt;blockquote&gt;
?1/ BREAKING: The largest “trans healthcare” providers in the U.S. are rubber-stamping letters approving gruesome, life-altering surgeries. It’s such a racket that my producer was approved for testicle removal in #22minutes. The tape is disturbing.
...
13/ Three days later, Plume sent this letter to &quot;Chelsea Bussey” – who does not exist -- saying he was experiencing &quot;significant, ongoing gender dysphoria.” The letter strongly recommended “Chelsea” for testicle removal.
...
16/ This scam is the cutting-edge of “trans healthcare.” After launching just a couple of years ago, Plume now operates in 41 states. Folx is in 47 states. How is it possible they’ve expanded so quickly?
17/ The answer is that there’s big money behind this. Plume and Folx raised more than $45 million last year. 
@craft_ventures  just led Plume&#039;s $14 million fundraising round. Is 
@DavidSacks  aware this is going on? Are  @transformcptl, @generalcatalyst
, @slow, or @townhallvntrs?

18/ Insurance companies like 
@Aetna, @UnitedHealthGrp, and @Cigna
 work with Plume. Do they know they’re paying for surgeries based on obviously false information?
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

One reply: &lt;blockquote&gt;
JW @C130GuyBNA
Matt, if you send an investigative reporter over to 
@VUMChealth  that is happening today. 

A friend of a friend is a nurse who was placed involuntarily in gender reassignment surgical practice (@VanderbiltU has bullied/intimidated her when she asked to move). Based on high volume (VUMC runs one surgeon to 4-5 patients at the same time - Dr just flits around castrating in parallel) she asked how much informed consent/counseling they get. Surgeon laughed. He said he would do it through a drive-through window as long as they’re paying.

VU ramped up their surgical operations after the child mutilation ban in order to make up lost revenue – go look at how haphazard and frivolous they are about castrating/mutilating mentally ill adults. Transing the disturbed is BIG BUSINESS.

					<description><![CDATA[Every headline I see states that the Texas law bans medical care to trans. 

No where have I read that the law bans psychological counselling or medical treatment that uses  medication that the FDA approved for treatment. It bans endocrine blockers, which are not approved for transitioning teens, but for serious conditions like breast cancer, prostate cancer ... 

I discussed this with ChatGPT, and it was like a hostile witness interrogation. The claim was initially made that hormone blockers  were &quot;approved&quot; because they are being used. Then it conceded, this is an off-labelled use. It stated that hormone blocker, as a part of therapy, reduced the risk of suicide in trans teens.  When pushed, it conceded that the current literature is under-powered and there is no trials comparing counselling with or without hormone blocker. There are no studies as of September 2021 showing any clinical affect on suicide risk. There is the claim that it helps gender dysphoria, and cited a Dutch study. This was an observational study and did not report a p-value. 

In concession, ChatGTP said: &quot;The existing research on hormone blockers in transgender healthcare primarily includes observational studies, open-label trials, and smaller-scale studies with various limitations. These studies provide valuable insights into the potential benefits and effects of hormone blockers, but they do not provide the same level of evidence as large-scale, well-controlled, double-blinded placebo-controlled trials.&quot;

In conclusion, there are no statistical-useful trials that show a decreased risk of suicide or gender dysphoria by hormone blockers, and none even as bad as these, that gender changing surgery improves outcomes.

There is no evidence that psychological counseling and management of depression, is not superiors to hormone blockers and surgery, and unlike the later, the potential for harm is far less too. The is curious lack of studies that do a head-to-head comparison to show the superiority of one treatment over the other.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mike K-
If I were 20 again, I would not apply to medical school. Medicine has turned for the worse, not in medical science, but in practice. A majority of new MDs are female, so they will not all be full-time equivalents (cramps, pregnancies, kids). We have 20 dermatologists  in my town, but only 2 work full-time, and they are male, the rest are female, all part-timers. 
Plus, there is all this virtue-signaling, pro-LGBTQ+ nonsense by hospitals and professional societies. 
Finally, the majority of freshly-trained specialists are now hospital employees. You, as an MD with a code of ethics, want to report to a hospital administrator? &quot;You&#039;re spending too much time, on average, with each patient. You must see more patients daily from now on.&quot;]]></description>

That’s odd. Andrew Sullivan has declared that the burgeoning trans movement is ALL about targeting gays. 
Hmm.
Oh well. I suppose one MIGHT be able to conclude that the trans movement was fomented by those evil Conservative troglodytes precisely to decimate the gay community.
