The fact that no one really knows what kind of health care detransitioners need reflects the fact that no one really knows what kind of health care the transitioners need either.
Thanks, Lisa, for linking again to your interview with past ASPS president Dr. Glasberg. It was really good. I need to share it with more people in my circles.
Let's see what kind of a demand there is for this kind of intervention before throwing any parties. My guess is once the bloom is off the rose and it no longer gains any political capital for the right wing crazies in Texas that it will be allowed to wither and die pretty quickly.
I find it is significant that it is at Texas Children's Hospital, which got into legal trouble for miscoding diagnoses and dodging the moratorium on medically transitioning minors. Hopefully it is helping clinicians to better consider "the big picture" of what they're doing to children, however rare they consider de-transitioning to be.
I agree. While it's good to finally have one clinic that specializes is this necessary care for people who have suffered unnecessary harm, I don't think it represents a change of heart by anyone, which is what we need to stop the unnecessary harm in the first place!
BTW - I only just noticed that your logo says "Destigmatize the Truth" over BROADview. I like it! T-shirts anyone??
I find it amusing that you can see nuance around one issue (the trans thing) but just throw out an anti-Trump comment (Trump's war, which isn't that) without a second thought.
The SUPERMAJORITY PLAN TO IMPEACH TRUMP and HIS ADMINISTRATION
It will take 292 house and 67 senate votes to obtain a supermajority vote. This is the key to accomplishing anything in the house or senate. The house and senate will be able to impeach Trump and his administration for their crimes and corruption.
The Democrats are the only ones that will stand against Trump. We have to vote out as many republicans as possible. The republicans have already proven they will stand with Trump no matter what.
EVERYONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS IN THE NOVEMBER 3RD MIDTERM ELECTIONS TO MAKE THIS WORK
Make sure you share this with everyone you know without social media. People without social media are unaware how corrupt and detrimental Trump’s administration really is for our country. The media outlets do not post anything negative about Trump. Some people don’t even know what the midterm elections are or how important they are.
TRUMP, HIS ADMINISTRATION, HIS BILLIONAIRE CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING NETWORK (Elon Musk) , AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE CORRUPTING THE GOVERNMENT TO COVER THEIR CRIMES .
I'm not sure what Trump's motivations, visible to no one, have to do with judgments about the opening of this clinic -- that seems an irrelevancy. Of course it would have greater value in one of the ideologically captured blue states, but since that ain't gonna happen, I'm glad Texas, a large state, is pioneering it. One can only hope it is staffed by a great medical team that may be able to pool ideas and build some clinical basis for future detransition guidance in other states.
I was thinking the same thing. Felt like the anti Trump sentiment needed to be said by the OP so as not to look politically aligned with a red state. Seems a bit immature.
I'm a fan of Lisa Selin-Davis so don't hold it against her, especially given that she lives in deep blue shark-infested waters. That's a tough situation to slog through day after day.

It's unknowns all the way down.

I good point. It might be more stunt than anything else.

Yes, we need shirts!!

I get it but I also live in those same "shark infested waters".
