Expert: SCOTUS decision on Tennessee gender-affirming care ban may ripple beyond trans youth

Apparently some parts of the medical industry (I would not call those parts a "Profession") have forgotten the "First do no harm" part of the Hippocratic oath. Imposing permanent life-altering unneeded treatment on young children is not medical care.

The problem with laws trying to rein in such abuse is that there is simply no room for "common sense" in any law. Laws have to be specific. Laws written with the best of intentions can have unintended consequences -- such laws can also be deliberately interpreted to create consequences entirely for the purpose of discrediting the law.

Sweden, England, and other European countries have done scientific studies on gender dysphoria. The incidence of true transgenderism is rare. Much of what is happening in these countries was socially driven buttressed by autism. These studies indicate that leaving these children alone is the best course of action, the kids out grow the gender dysphoria. Suicide rates are not increase by benign neglect. Why there is even a question about not stopping hormone blockers and surgery is simply child abuse.
