so many paragraphs and all i was hoping was just one at the end that reinserts the fricking pin. just one, one that says "of course, what i have said before was only to allow us to consider this on purely moral and ethical standing and there actually is robust scientific medical consensus towards the need for access to medical transition for all trans people bla bla bla"
because i regret to inform you, parents are not looking for an article on Judith Butlers latest book and what it can teach us on why we should allow trans kids to have trans surgery just because its a nice thing to do. Philosophy has never once overcome emotion.
