Yeah, I frequently hear demands for "personal responsibility" when clearly people are being impacted forces greater than themselves.
Usually the demand is made to justify denying access to resources.

I don't mind the criteria to continually be tweaked based on evidence. But conservative framing aside, 'there is an extremely low prevalence of regret in transgender patients after GAS.

That is historically true, because historically Gender Affirmation Surgery (GAS) was performed on a very very small number of patients who were almost all adult males who had made an adult choice to live as women. They made their choice and accepted it.
Lately, however, the patients are overwhelmingly young women and girls. Irreversible surgery is being performed on girls in their teens. Those patients are by default not capable of making decisions about their health. What's even worse: to get data on whether or not people regret or attempt to ameliorate their surgery in later life, you have to keep records of who received what surgery when and follow them up later. In the case of the recently-closed-down Tavistock centre in the UK, no such records were kept. Such was the religious fervour of the staff there, they were too busy performing surgeries on girls to keep records. |

Where are you getting your surgery statistics if there were no records?

As you can tell from the words that I typed, the sentences about Tavistock are specifically about Tavistock. You can find the “wtf do you mean they didn’t keep records” revelations in the Cass Interim Report:
https://cass.independent-review.uk/p...nterim-report/ For an example of surgeries being performed on teenage girls I could point to somewhere like Boston Children’s Hospital, which is so convinced of the righteousness of its cause that it literally advertises a “15 or over? No parent consent required” policy on its website like a payday loan shark: https://www.childrenshospital.org/tr...reconstruction |

I'm totally sure things are well under the Tories in the UK, Boris and his crew are doing a bang-up job. The Tavistock centre closing and the circumstances that led up to that was in no way just one more neolib shit-show as providers attempt to respond to growing need with reduced resources in ever more complex environments. Surely, right?
The story about rampant sex-changers is definitely the best fit of all the facts at hand!

That's the genital obsessed framing.
In reality he was jailed for breaching an injunction that prevented him from attending or attempting to teach at the school where he works. The guy is an asshole, and a religious one at that.

My 3rd form report card indicated that I seemed to loathe French. Probably not far from the truth, but in hindsight, I do feel pity for a French teacher in todays woke world. Having to battle social justice warrior teenagers when explaining gender based definite articles.

How are the mighty fallen. Stewart used to be a voice of reason; now he’s a science-denying cultist.

That wasn’t calm, that was a Twitter bitch snarking for likes.
Hope nobody tells him that as of last month the NZ Ministry of Health doesn’t consider puberty-blocker drugs to be safe and reversible. The “illogical conservative” position that Stewart is snarking about is the scientific one. What Stewart’s interlocutor is expressing - admittedly clumsily - is the position supported by the scientific research. She may be a fundie Christian but that doesn’t mean the science isn’t on her side. There is no clear evidence that the treatments in question are either necessary or safe, and a lot of evidence that they’re not. Stewart appears to be ignorant of that fact, which is weird considering it’s the subject of the “interview”. |

The issue is more complex than could be presented in that format, I don't think it was very helpful as a result. It was too combative, too one side or the other.
It looks like just another tribal battle. But there's no winning here. Plenty of people losing. But no winning. And we're definitely not closing this Pandora's Box, short implementing fascism. Stewart's position appeared to be that those whose job it is to determine such things do believe there is place for these treatments and that the Arkansas government was placing itself above those institutions, denying its constituents freedom of choice.
