we had one of the leading medical experts of trans health, Dr. Joshua Safer, who has spearheaded the robustness of gender identity as innate and therefore there is no danger in allowing trans kids to experiment with gender expression because you scientifically cant trans a cis kid, on The Trouble With Jon Stewart round table session on Transgender Kids and he gets maybe one or two lines of air time where he self effaces with a joke about the fact that the trans medical establishment absolutely is not this whacky overly progressive machine and is never given the mic again to make a crucial point.
we have the APA releasing a huge statement decrying that anti-trans conspiracy pseudomedicine spreads like wildfire in the press and no one devotes any time or column space to the actual provable medical facts about WHY things such as affirming care is essential for trans people
and heres 35 paragraphs in the NYMag, 35 paragraphs of chance to finally to put across even a tiny bit of that scientific fact.
Nothing.
