I never considered that trans medicalization went this far. Ty for sharing these horrifying perspectives. I find this doctor's attitude and financial stake in mutilation deeply troubling.

It's crazy. This particular doctor has apparently put an 8 year on testosterone. Not blockers, testosterone.

She's a pediatrician specializing in transitioning minors, and her FTM spouse is an affirmative gender therapist. They are both heavily personally and professionally invested in the medicalization of GNC children.

Where is the public outcry?

From what I have read, to even question this is to be deemed transphobic, so people are scared to speak up, to denounce anything, as it can lead to loss of employment and other social repercussions and threats. Which is messed up

It's fucked up because the general public doesn't know. If they knew, they would care. What person in their right mind is okay with children that young being medicalized? I guess our only hope is to persuade mainstream journalists to do investigative reporting. This is happening in the UK already. It should be possible to make it happen here.
