Oh please, you know perfectly well that the subject at hand is the safety and necessity of providing young people suffering from adolescent rapid onset gender dysphoria with access to quote-unquote gender affirming treatment including but not limited to hormone replacement, chemical castration, and physical surgery, and I was holding a phone and couldn't be fucked typing that all out and I figured that we're all grownups and could understand what the placeholder "anything" stood for in this context. So now, with the benefit of this knowledge, imagine that I'd referred to
health institutions around the world, including NZ, that say there’s no conclusive scientific proof of the safety and necessity of providing young people suffering from adolescent rapid onset gender dysphoria with access to quote-unquote gender affirming care including but not limited to hormone replacement, chemical castration, and physical surgery.
It is a disorder that has really only existed since teenage girls discovered Tumblr and Instagram in about 2015. That is not enough time for there to have been enough studies conducted to prove, and yes I'm going to say it, anything. Fuck we're still crunching the numbers to see if saturated fats actually cause heart disease and that issue was declared over in the fucking 1950s (surprise! looks like it doesn't! it actually looks like vegetable oil is WORSE for you than animal fat!)
I do note that countries that have the most socialised healthcare systems, countries like Sweden and Finland, are the ones banning the treatments described above because of the absence of useful data. It's the country where healthcare is a get-rich-quick scheme for private enterprise where objections holding up surgery are thrown out because the issue is settled, why would the companies that stand to make all that money lie to Americans?
