Interview Excerpt with Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge | The Problem With Jon Stewart 

They're most likely not working for her, anymore! 🤣

They probably thought that they were totally prepared for Jon Stewart.

It's the south lol...a bit ummm slower than norm. An by all means don't mean all but man o man. The south is something else lol. Smh

@@tx3973 Arkansan here: I fucking hate my state leaders and most of the inhabitants. It's fucking ridiculous living here to be quite honest.

Jon Stewart did great. Problem is rightwingers don't care about the facts and don't care she embarrassed herself.

That's what I said, if I agreed to an interview on a topic, if I were half-competant would be prepared lmao

She is the Attorney General for the state of Arkansas…it’s her job to argue the merits of the law…

@@Brittjones Well yeah, "I do naht recaull" isn't a good way to do it is the point I think

@@sexuallobster134679 Half-competent - she would have to work hard to be quarter-competent. Glad I can say I didn't vote for her.

I work for media (not the US), it's amazing how many reporters and hosts admire interviews and interviewers like this but they themselves don't have the b***s to do it.

Only Hasan Minhaj has stood up to those tests.

*cough* Joe Rogan *cough*

she wasn't lying her reports are probably from books that have been recently banned by multinational invested corporations like amazon for example shes quoting abigal shrier who has a phd in psychology and has studied gender dysphoria john however is in fact talking out of his ass hes quoting peer review articles which aren't studies or even remotely credible there are no long term studies done on gender dysphoria because its been recent with the uprising which it makes sense why Abigal Shrier was banned from many publishers on her books on it because she breaks down the reasons if you all want to be gold fish and think john stewart is right without giving any credible evidence whats so ever be my guest be uneducated and a fuckin gold fish but when children grow up kill themselves because they destroyed their bodies you best believe were pointing the fingers at people like you and the corporations who profited off of children in the name of social contagion if john stewart died tomorrow id be happy hes a pos anyone who wants to see children get mutiliated for profit is fucking disgusting and your disgusting for supporting this bs. im sure the majority of you dont believe in hell but i do and i personally hope all of you g2 hell for pushing this shit onto children to further more on johns ignorance we dont have enough when did u see transgender children 15 20 years ago can anyone guess how many gender affirming care centers there were in 2007? 2 now there is over 300. so fuck you john u paid schill g2 hell

the figure isnt made up either john is such a pos it may be hard to get your hands on these books bc as said b4 the studies were done years ago b4 this became what i call a social contagion but it did affect 2 percnet of the population

Jon has a team that writes this material. He then practices these arguments. He then goes in front of someone that is completely unprepared for what's coming, while he is completely prepared. So it makes sense how these go down.

@@keith_dixon "someone that is completely unprepared for what's coming" is the one pushing that law, she should be the one with the most expertise on the matter

She tried so hard to keep from squirming that it all came out in her face.

​@@keith_dixonsounds like they're making excuses

Guess it's just something you can pop into on a casual sunday in the US lol

The experts who testified were likely referencing the Dutch study on desistance rate. And that study gives a range of 80%-97.5% desistance rate among prepubescent children experiencing GID.

@@whasian1487 the Dutch study that has been scrutinized for a) tiny sample size (127 Boys) and b) non-valid categorization of Gender Dysphoria. The criteria they had was hugely flawed. 38/127 never matched any criteria for Gender Indentity Disorder and the study concluced anyone who didn't return to the clinic was "desisting" which is flawed because they are expecting young children to remember and return their life outcomes to a clinical study they barely knew they were part of as children.

@@lewisbeattie2533 sounds right. Never said the study was good. There aren't any well done studies on this subject from what I understand. The only common denominator in the dozen or so studies that do exist say that the desist rate higher than 50%

The organization that backs up the stance does not matter because that organization can be paid to promote it. What matters is what she said that a child making irreversable life decisions they may regret in the future is what matters. Kids should not be making these types of decisions until they are old enough to do it at 18 at the least.

along with; "I didn't know I'd have to argue a SC case," MEANING ---- "I didn't think Id have to answer any questions or be prepared for this interview." Unbelievable arrogance & ignorance!!

We should not give drugs to kids, period.

Does that include anti-depressants?

Or something you might empathize with because your empathy seems to be quite limited, does that include chemotherapy.

@@ethandenton3393 She knows it's all indefensible bullshit. You can see it in her face. It's party over everything for the cult that is the current republican party.

NHS England just banned the use of puberty blockers outside or clinical research trials. How is it in any way compassionate or heartwarming to pretend that there is a clear scientific consensus or that “the science is settled” on this topic, when-looking at the most empirical data coming from Europe-the exact opposite seems to be the case? To continue to imply that these interventions are uncontroversial in an attempt to demonize those who disagree with you and politicizing the topic, in actuality, denotes a clear misunderstanding of how the scientific method works. Most importantly, it helps no one.

If good ol' Jon is your hope you are doomed girl

@@kr111ss Because these people have no arguments (or at least, no fact- or reality-based ones).

It also shows the total number of surgeries teens under 18 received as of 2021. That number is now higher in 2023, and those numbers are only those that health insurance paid for. It does not account for out of pocket surgeries. 2) Associated press: June 2022. Talks about how a leading transgender health association lowered the age for minors to 15 to have surgery. 3) Article talks about the fact that puberty blockers have unknown risks and are still to this day, not FDA approved, and have no actual measurements of how much or for how long. Plus, there is a potential increase in osteoporosis because bone loss density, loss of bone growth, cancer, and infertility, and worst still, unknown neurological effects that only take place during natural puberty years.

Yeah that was my takeaway too. Regardless of what you believe about the actual topic, there is no denying how well hey did this. It wasn’t manipulative or “gotcha”, just asking her to present her stance with evidence.

Your comment is funny because you let jon get away with the BS of giving an award to a neonazi and not apologizing for it.

It's unfortunately an interviewing style that burns bridges. You get to have a few interviews where people are grilled, but then the next person you attempt to interview says, "We saw that last one, we don't want that to happen to us." But your reputation or your organization's reputation follows you. In general in an interview you have to let people spew their bullshit allowing the person to feel like they got something out the interview and hope that the audience can form their own thoughts about the ideas, maybe framing the piece with a meta narrative, talking and informing the viewer with real informed statistics and the interview is only part of the story. Interviews are done the way they are to let the interview prove their ideas are dumb by saying them out loud. The standard styles exist because they're repeatable. ** Edit to clarify. I agree with Jon's point of view, AG of Arkansas is clearly cherry picking and being a weasel to pass whatever she already believed and wanted to pass. This response was only related to the style of combative interviews vs let them say bullshit.

@@ZeekDaGeek that totally goes against the principle of holding people accountable. Which is what journalism is supposed to do. If as a person voted into office you cannot be fully accountable in interviews or anything else then you're just a hack.

@@ZeekDaGeek long winded, pretentious, nonsense.

That's how delusional these people are. That they think their BS arguments will hold up where so many have failed.

Lulz. I watch whatever new video drops 😂. Utterly destroys them with brilliantly thought out common sense questions

first of all his interview style is extremely hostile and he never really considered that the other side do have some valid concerns. Other countries like Sweden and the UK are beginning to realize that most of the rapid onset gender dysphasia in Teenage girls are cases of psychogenic contagion. Sweden has put a complete stop on treatment for trans minors and the UK has closed the only dedicated gender identity clinic for children and young people. 1000 lawsuits is filed against them. It’s not a health professional job to confirmed patients self diagnosis or identity. Self reporting is a part of it of cause but now it’s required by law some places. Older studies (real large population studies) has indicated that 80% settles into their gender from birth if left alone. And a large portion of those actually turn up gay. I would love to see him interview some knowledgeable who actually know something about this topic instead of a half dumb politician

​@@skumflum3768He's so hostile. Extremely hostile. I feel so bad for her having to deal with this big bully. We have to make it illegal to get hormone replacement therapy until age 28. I know some teens who said they're transgender have un-alived themselves when given no choice but to go back into the closet &, that is kind of sad I guess but we have to protect our kids.

@@robhall2891 the typical approach is to have long talks beforehand and have a perfectly balanced longer discussion. This make the interviewee feel comfortable and then utterly unprepared for the slaughtering.

Absolutely. I want a safe home where my kid can feel like we got his back. No matter what!

You're a wonderful parent. It's people like you that I'd wish could be cloned, so that every kid who needed and didn't have a good parent, could have one!

@@Unknown-ov2kz awwww thank you so much. I've struggled to feel like a good parent at times and that's probably what pushes me to be a better parent.

Thank you for supporting an adhd kid 🙏

So if they said they were the opposite gender, you would've went right ahead with the surgery? It's, maybe, a TOTALLY different situation JackAss

Ok so he talks a little better, he didn't prove that anything he says is true, as usual.

@@jeremybenoit759 Literally everything he said is true and verifiable. That fact that you aren't Inteligent enough to grasp that doesn't surprise me, as usual.

He did the same thing she did.. spoke about shit he doesn't know

He didnt run any intellectual circles. All he did was name drop medical associations just to say your data is wrong and mine’s correct, without showing any data. It’s less risky to be conservative and wait for more validations rather than jump into it just like how the liberal states handled coronavirus vaccines

@@gibunjota9839 100% ran circles around her and called out her bullshit lies. The liberal states saw FAR less deaths of covid per capita than conservative runs states did. So, it's factually safe to say it's riskier to live in conservative states thanks to their science denials and outright stupidity.

Shes really bad at arguing her points I wouldn’t hire her as a lawyer. Still doesn't change the fact hospitals are profiting off of genital mutations of minors just like they profit off of the opioid crisis. Transgenders peoples problem is neurological not with their genitalia.

If you really want to learn Give it break w/your Stewed Stewart fanBOI worship as he us so party politics biased and easy to debate like the sane medical.affiliated for gain actions made many advisement put into place during & for covid-19 that other countries did w better results' esp for the young & elderly

Anti trans fascists have no arguments l. Just hateful religious backwards scum mad that they are the worst that humanity has to offer.

She's lying. Their experts are her weird voter base that gets their "expertise" on youtube or what ever strange place they visit on the net where they claim doctors are mutilating babies. She doesn't give a flying fuck about children I think. She wants to secure her position. And by pushing for this bill, she makes sure the crazy ones out there, vote for her.

And at the same time is the voice for people that don't trust experts 😅

Jon: Nice argument, Senator. Why don't you back it up with a source. AAG: My source is that I made it the fuck up.

Her response is the interview equivalent of "Well, you can Google it yourself."

​@@rambofan334 You literally said this already, you terminally online Redditor

This is the equivalent of that fucker Joseph R. McCarthy during the red scare. Saying he things but not even backing them up with facts.

@@sekaiyoru01 cmon, leave em be. Theyre not wrong

Comparing gender confusion to cancer is kind of a terrible way to argue a point though. They are in no way the same thing or on the same level. I love Jon Stewart, but this was a weak arguing point. Jon even helped me personally when he fought for the pact act recently, but I still don't thing he's got a very good argument on this point. I don't support the mutilation of children, physical or hormonal. The human brain isn't fully developed until around age 25. This lady is trying to prevent children from mutilating themselves who may later change their minds. If you're confused about your gender you for sure shouldn't be making decisions that permanently affect your health and wellbeing for the rest of your life. Once someone is an adult they then have the freedom to go on hormones or get whatever surgery they want. I support the prevention of child genital mutilation.

@@nh251 Why is it a terrible comparison? Kids can't have surgery until they are over 18. Before 18, we are ALL on hormones. That's where we get breasts and beards and periods and deeper voices from. Some people are just on the wrong hormones. And it is somewhat reversible. After puberty, some trans women will have to have surgery in adulthood if their voices are too deep, so the deep voice is not reversible for some, but is for others. I've had cancer and I have friends who are trans. Cancer is a cakewalk in comparison, and people bring you casseroles.

@@nh251 A simple misunderstanding. Doctors aren't recommending genital surgery, they are recommending hormone blockers and hormone replacement. Also, the cancer comparison makes more sense if you understand gender dysphoria is life altering and potentially fatal. But you shouldn't believe a stranger on the internet, you should believe the doctors who have spent years researching this topic and have had every argument you can imagine already.

​@@theresa7328 Slight addendum here: the surgeries for voice aren't always effective, or have as good results as the patient might like. Honestly, it's all the more reason to make puberty blockers more accessible because puberty is permanent. Those who argue "wait for adulthood" are leaving out the fact that the changes puberty inflicts are also permanent! We can't unwiden hips, we can't reliably undeepen voices. Breast removal costs thousands of dollars. We could prevent all of this, and cheaply too. But these people don't care, because they don't understand us and don't want to understand us. They are confident they know the truth, but their ignorance is obvious the minute they open their mouths.

@@DrTssha Agree 💯with everything you said. Ignorant people are always so sure of themselves, on any topic. Educating yourself on something takes too much effort and the folks attacking minority groups are saying they're "doing it for the kids". Dressing up discrimination as righteousness is almost always how it's done.

Well. even I was pretty shocked at Jon's cavalier attitude toward "changing the sex" of a minor. I think she was expecting a bit of rationality but, wow, the Left acceptance of sexual deviation even to the point of calling each other "queer" and identifying as all manner of deviants, is over the top. The comical invention of pronouns is really rich as well!

His show schedules something like this as an interview, he plays up the snark for the camera and his audience, and then of course it’s edited in his favor.

​@@bw2020 no amount of editing, on the part of the show, would be able to remove a valid argument, if she had one. She was stuck in a circular argument and couldn't see simple logic. The truth is, she has a narrative that she keeps reaffirming and she'll dismiss any evidence to the contrary.

@@whimsicalstray true, she did a pretty bad job defending herself, that’s why Jon chose her, instead of say, Matt Walsh, the main guy who has brought so much of this issue to the forefront. Jon can railroad this old lady and make her look stupid. He probably wouldn’t look so smooth if he picked on someone his own size. But to be fair, this lady should have done a lot better, her case is easily defensible.

@@bw2020 no its not lmao, basically every reputable medical organization disagrees with her position. Matt Walsh is a fucking idiot lmao, he wouldn’t do better because the fact remains is that there is no well thought out argument behind their position. None of their claims have any rational or scientific arguments backing them. Just made up bullshit

Journalistic integrity would be to provide a well balanced and objective segment on this serious and complicated topic. He is not doing that.

@@ProkofNY you must have been watching a different interview.

⁠@@aftonair oh, I watched the interview, alright. However, it is not about what is in the interview per se, but about what is lacking in Jon’s narrative. There is another side to this debate with science to back its claims, yet the implication is there that because this lady is ineloquent and unprepared, then the evidence to contradict Jon’s views does not exist. This is not objective journalism, and I would go as far as to claim that it is irresponsible and lacking in integrity to fail properly to cover both sides of this debate.

Hmm…if he chooses that soft a target the of course he will come out triumphant. Why not debate someone who will actually challenge him?

Lol. Probably NewsMax. Fox News is having its own issues now.

Newsmax, OAN, Project Varitas, Breitbart, PragerU and she will be the main expert on in the Neo Confederate Christian Fundamentalist Journal of Creationist TrumpliKKKlans...

He came off as mansplaining though, very condescending and close minded to any other ideas. Just as he accuses the other side.

@@nofurtherwest3474 facts typically aren't open to other random ideas, it's true

You think outlawing the chemical castration and irreversible transformation of children is a horrible decision? Lol. Disgusting

Exactly! Anyone that sides with these fools will argue that Jon keeps picking weak politicians to interview. My question is how is the Attorney General of Arkansas or a state senator of Oklahoma a weak link? Rutledge fought for this ban and knows nothing about the subject. Jon chewed her up and it was pure art watching it go down😊

She's not just a lawyer, she's the state's AG and she knew what they'd ask about when the interview was set up.

It is recommended that kids start puberty blockers during Tanner stage 2, which in girls tends to fall somewhere between the ages of 10-12. In this country, most 10-year-olds tend to be around the 5th grade, so yes, this involves some kids who are still _literally_ in elementary school.

​@ProkofNY good thing that puberty blockers are reversable and are already used in pediatric medicine for other conditions

@@veemie8148but are the _really_ reversible? When 96-98% of patients at the Tavistock’s GIDS who took puberty blockers eventually went on to cross-sex hormones, does the intervention really provide minors with “time to think” rather than locking them into a very specific treatment pathway? Also, the Finnish systematic review concluded that the risk factors involved with these medical interventions were not being systematically reported. Is this at all concerning?

@@ProkofNY The fact that 96-98% of people who got on puberty blockers in order to transition later, then went on to transition later, indicates that they were correct about wanting to transition and continued to want to transition. 96-98% of people taking puberty blockers for precocious puberty don't suddenly turn around and get on hormones. Also, you keep talking about finland and their systematic review, and then you keep not ever posting the systematic review. Is this at all productive?

@@cooldude6651 but are these interventions truly “pausing” puberty when patients are basically locked into a very specific treatment pathway? “A pause button” is how the drugs are being promoted to patients and their parents. Also, bear in mind that this data comes front the Tavistock’s GIDS, for which an independent panel of experts (acting upon complains from several whistleblowers) highlighted several issues, including lack of safeguards, rushed assessments, diagnostic overshadowing and a lack of data collection of long term patent outcomes. Also of relevant is that fact that the GIDS was, until recently, the world’s largest pediatric gender clinic. I just provided you with some citations in a different thread, but here is a little preview of the Finnish recommendations. Please compare and contrast this with the narrative being promoted by JS on this video: “In light of available evidence, gender reassignment of minors is an expenmental practice. Based on the studies examining gender identity in minors, hormonal interventions may be considered before reaching adulthood in those with firmly established transgender identities, but it must be done with a great deal of caution, and no irreversible treatment should be initiated. Information about the potential harms of hormone therapies is accumulating slowly and is not systematically reported. It is critical to obtain information on the benefits and risks of these treatments in rigorous research settings.” -Finland’s Council for Choices in Health Care and the Finnish Health Authority (PALKO/COHERE) new recommendations _(Medical Treatment Methods for Dysphoria Related to Gender Variance In Minors,_ 2020)

Jon was debating a lady that wasn't very good but he's wrong and common sense is not on his side here.

it's actually not a made up number. all studies without puberty blockers show that 60-90% of kids, depending on the study, grow out of their gender confusion after puberty, most of them finding out they are just gay/lesbian.

NHS England recently stopped prescribing puberty blockers to treat gender dysphoria outside of clinical research trials. Further, they strongly discourage patients from reviving these medications through a private provider. Did you know that Finnish scientists called transitioning minors a experimental practice based on a systematic evidence review they conducted on the topic? Did you know the Swedes conducted their own systematic review and concluded the risks outweigh the benefits for the use of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones to treat gender dysphoria in minors? The Brit’s own systematic reviews clearly state that there is not a robust evidence base underpinning these interventions. My question for you: where are the systematic evidence reviews which have been conducted by the American professional associations that advocate for these interventions, specifically when it comes to minors?

And hormone blockers are not irreversible. It is really the perfect thing just like all those experts he stated recommend.

@@Bareq_99 And yet, when it comes to minors, all systematic reviews-the gold standard of scientific evidence for guiding medical recommendations-have concluded that the evidence for pediatric gender affirmation is lacking (of “low to very low” certainty/quality as concluded in these reviews). As far as children/adolescents go, the scientific literature does not actually show, with any reasonable degree of certainty, that the use of puberty blockers or cross sex hormones decreases rates of negative mental health outcomes; the risk factors associated with these are not properly reported; and data on the long-term outcomes for this population is not accurately tracked. Not only do we have the findings of the systematic reviews (look at the Nice reviews linked in the Cass Interim report website or Ludvingsson et al., 2021) we also have the WHO coming out just a few weeks ago with a Q&A addressing their upcoming guideline for transgender people: question no. 5 “Q. Why will the guideline only cover adults and not also children or adolescents? A. The scope will cover adults only and not address the needs of children and adolescents, because on review, the evidence base for children and adolescents is limited and variable regarding the longer-term outcomes of gender affirming care for children and adolescents.” The WPATH itself failed to commission a systematic review to back its recommendations for minors citing a lack of studies. My question to you is, if the evidence for pediatric gender affirmation remains lacking/limited/uncertain, why is it that some media sources call it “life saving” (when the benefits remain unclear), “medically necessary” (when the risk factors and long term outcomes of patients remain unknown), or “settled science” (when the most empirically rigorous studies on the topic directly contradict this claim)? Things are no adding up.

And forcing down the throats of everyone who lives in what she undoubtedly believes should be a Christian theocracy.

@@skumflum3768 certainly there can be medical "fads" where over prescription of medicine or treatments will be over done. The way over prescription of Ritalin and other amphetamine salts during the 1990s for example, and the over prescription of opioids. More than anything this stems from financial kickbacks doctors receive for prescribing as much as possible. This is solely a problem in the structure of our Healthcare systems. And do doctors make the wrong choices sometimes? Absolutely. But to say there is an epidemic of children being pressured into treatments that they choose to do and later regret is a lie. They are the exception and not the rule. But this minority is used as a tool to push the ultimately religious agenda to do away completely with a young persons access to important care. On the political level they are throwing out the baby with the bathwater, when, as Jon says, these decisions are solely between children and their doctors. The science is in, doing away with all treatment until adulthood will do far more damage than the minority that jump the gun being confused teenagers. But again, the confused child or teenagers business is not the states business. Why aren't they passing the same laws to prohibit circumcision? Circumcision is genital mutilation that children don't agree to and is put upon them. Many of which come to regret, and claim to have their sex lives ruined by the procedure. But MOST don't. I myself wasn't circumcised till I was 6. It was horrible, don't regret it one bit! But if I did regret it and you can certainly find "experts" to speak out against it, does that give the state the right to ban the practice all together until you turn 18? Or does circumcision have special protection having Judeu-christian roots? No, people will kid themselves that it's "to protect the children!", but the motivation is religious. And these people haven't the faintest idea what they're talking about. You can tell they've never knowingly met a single passing trans person in their lives! They make it obvious when they pass incredibly stupid things like "bathroom bills"! 😂 do you realize what extreme uproar there will be by these fearful bigots when fully bearded manly people, born female, start walking into women's bathrooms looking more like men than their own husbands. And how many fully passing females, born men, with a rack larger than your mothers will be taking a dump next to you!? It becomes so obvious, all these people know of these other humans lives is fed to them through the sick mouth of their pastors, and conservative talking heads. Its not about the children... Over 10,000 children die A DAY, due to easily preventable causes world wide. But no, the real tragedy is a few money grubbing doctors going along with a confused kids wishes, and later on regretting it. Boo hoo, let's just make it all illegal!!! As for kids who it saves? Ignore them, they're sinners! But precede to chop off the tip of that new born baby! Millions of whom will come to resent you for it, but hey, hygiene and Abraham yo!

@@curtisowen3233 There is much to discuss in this context. It is evident that individuals, including politicians, may be driven by personal motives and religious beliefs. However, the only viable approach to organizing our society is through the exercise of free speech. Freedom of speech is not a mere philosophical notion; instead, it is a crucial instrument for preserving the cohesion and stability of our thoughts and societies. Currently, there is a trend towards restricting the questioning of transgender ideology, which itself is an ideology, resulting in conflicts. Regarding the medical facts, there are no long-term studies available on the effects of puberty blockers in transgender adolescents. While there have been studies on hormones, they are not without significant and potentially permanent side effects. It is worth noting the existence of psychogenic contagions, which have a documented history spanning 400 years. Several recent examples include the Satanic daycare ritual panic in the 1980s, as well as the spread of cutting and bulimia among white teenage girls in schools. Considering the statistics on rapid-onset gender dysphoria, there has been a 1500% increase, primarily among white teenage girls. As teenage girls have historically been most susceptible to psychogenic contagion, this could be a plausible explanation. Research, as previously mentioned, shows that 80% of individuals experiencing gender dysphoria eventually desist without intervention, which is why Sweden has ceased medical treatment for minors. This topic undoubtedly warrants further discussion. It is not fair to label people as hypocritical for prioritizing this issue over the deaths of thousands of children due to other causes. Human nature does not allow us to empathize equally with every issue. As Stalin allegedly remarked, "One death is a tragedy, but a million is just a statistic."

@@Pants4096 I have. Fact is that part of growing up is the formulation of identity. It’s an ongoing exploration. If a 12 year old boy feels like a girl that is highly unlikely to be permanent. He may feel like a boy again at 13 and a girl again at 14. Who knows? And hormone blockers are not a mere pause button, they are a permanent derailment of natural biological development. And you don’t do something like that if the gender dysphoric condition is in flux. It’s like slamming the brakes on a fast-moving train and expecting it to stay on the tracks. Then there’s the actual surgery, even worse, which forever changes reproduction potential. The consequences of making a mistake are catastrophic. Have you seen interviews with those who have tried to de-transition? Have you seen the number of suicides? It’s one horror story after another. It’s a life-changing, permanent decision that cannot be treated lightly. Therefore, if a fully grown adult truly feels that transitioning is the right move… so be it. But it is quite literally impossible for children, with still-developing minds and bodies, to competently make that decision. And this was all abundantly obvious and understood until basically yesterday. Why? Money. It’s a booming industry. Do your homework on this.

@@ProkofNY For some people, they do. Kids can't get irreversible medical care, but they can consult with psychologists/psychiatrists who specialize in gender dysphoria and treatment for it. I'd say that still counts as medical care. Also, the "born in the wrong body" thing is just a _MASSIVE_ oversimplification of how gender dysphoria feels.

​@@ProkofNYsexual orientation is not a medical condition, where as gender dysphoria is. At least that's how I understand the difference.

@@CharityApple07 You are not getting the whole story here, which is very frustrating. The WPATH, AAP, and the Endocrine Society (along with the other profesional bodies advocating for these interventions) have not conducted systematic reviews on the topic of pediatric gender medicine to back their recommendations. The countries that have (Finland, Sweden, and the UK) have concluded that the risk factors for these interventions remain largely unknown and are not being systematically reported. These reviews have also highlight the lack of data collection when it comes to patient outcomes, including rates of detransition and regret. These are not fringe and/or right wing political groups expressing concerns. Are you familiar with what happened in what was once the world’s largest pediatric gender clinic? The NHS commissioned an independent review following a 4000% increase in referrals to the clinic (i.e., the Tavistock’s GIDS) and in light of the concerns of several whistleblowers. The whistleblowers’ concerns regarding the managing of the clinic and its “affirmative model” (rushed assessments, lack of data collection, lack of safeguards, diagnostic overshadowing) were then corroborated by an independent panel of experts. Further, the review’s interim report (which also bases its information on two systematic reviews on pediatric gender affirmation) concluded that there is at the moment no way for professionals and clinicians to distinguish which patients will benefit from these interventions versus those who will not. Bear in mind the crucial fact that the original Dutch study (which introduced the use of blockers for the treatment of GD), used a very small and selective sample of minors without any preexisting MH comorbidities and whose Sx began prior to the onset of puberty. These sample is not at all representative of many of the patients currently being prescribed PB. Not only that, the Cass interim report also asserts that the benefits of these interventions remain uncertain even for patients whose profile closely resembles the Dutch cohort (i.e., childhood onset, no coexisting psychopathology). The NHS no longer prescribes PB outside of clinical research settings. Why do you think people do not hear about this part of the story? After all, this pertains to the NHS and to what used to be the largest pediatric gender clinic.

@@sovietninja3that is true, yet there is a push on behalf of activist groups for “trans depathologization.” Likewise, as many European countries cut back on these interventions for minors, activist groups here in the US seem to be pushing things in the opposite direction. They claim “the science is settled” and that no debate is necessary. Yet, if you focus on be empirical evidence you will realize that these interventions do not meet the criteria for evidence based medicine.
