Idk what's so hard to realize that if you have little to no gatekeeping on something that has a surgery element that eventually people will get hurt by it. It's common sense. Having little to no gatekeeping without thorough examination and therapy to work on oneself is unprecedented in trans healthcare. It didn't use to be this way. It used to be years of therapy along with careful examination. You don't need a study to know people are being harmed more than ever because of this lack of gatekeeping (just how the trans rights activists have wanted it). But you've ignored the 50 clients in US who are suing or want to sue for medical malpractice, ignored the Cass Review, and Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy refuses to release her findings (which we all know are not great findings), so I don't know what else will convince you. I know 3 detransitioner/regretters (I was in the brony community w/ a dense population of trans-identified people). Here's a list of most of the US cases. These are just ones who have decided to go to court. Now Planned Parenthood is also being sued. There are 1000s of detransitioners/regretters and medical malpractice: Chloe Cole v. Kaiser Permanente Layla Jane v. Kaiser Foundation Hospitals Isabelle Ayala v. American Academy of Pediatrics Prisha Mosley v. Emerson Luka Hein v. University of Nebraska Medical Center Soren Aldaco v. Perry and Crane Clinic Camille Kiefel v. Ruff and Oregon Cosmetic and Reconstructive Clinic Christopher Miller v. Identity Hormones Jane Doe v. Lick (UW Hospital) Amanda Stewart v. Dartmouth Medical Center Layton Ulery v. Rafferty and Thundermist Health

How can anyone see this and say it’s ok to let people get transition surgery without thorough assessment, mental health care, and therapy over years?

We are told over and over people who don’t transition will kill themselves. yet, what about the people who can’t reverse their surgeries who sincerely thought they were trans when they weren’t who now want to kill themselves? Im now beginning to see one reason why self-ID and self-diagnosis is dangerous. This is why this is an understandably debatable situation.

The system used to be different so this kind of situation wouldn’t happen, but now there’s little to no gatekeeping and severely mentally unstable people who need help are being harmed unnecessarily.
