Florida’s Republican Governor and associated medical regulators have adopted very similar rules to England’s NHS (although they don’t seem to go as far, I couldn’t see a ban on social transition-which the NHS has banned too), as well as Sweden and Finland’s healthcare bodies. Checkmate!

Very interesting that the Forbes deliberately failed to mention that the under-18s weren’t being denied healthcare, they were just being denied surgical and endocrine interventions, they are still able to access psychiatric and psychological interventions (the thing that they fear, because they stand a chance of curing or managing GD).

But we're constantly told that under 18s aren't having these surgeries done. So surely banning them for under 18s shouldn't be a problem, right? Right?

It is strange, isn’t it. Strange that proponents of surgical and endocrine interventions keep being caught saying things like “age is only a number” and WPATH seems to continually revise their age limits for surgical/endocrine intervention downwards.

the fact that the WPATH wasn't immediately shut down for hiring a castration fetishist to write their guidelines is mind boggling.

There is so much wrong with that organisation that I fully expect it to be discovered one day that it was always just a front for NAMBLA and PIE.
