It's such a relief to listen to someone speak on this subject *who is experienced, calm & decent* ... Thank-you so much. What a very difficult and very modern issue!

[@clodomiro2]

A true clinician, brilliant arguments, not driven by contemporary ideologic nonsense...

How I wish all the regular well-meaning liberals in the US (my own family included) would take the time to watch these videos. Bravo to your organization, this is incredible work

Brilliant: Its shocking, it takes the patient to reiterate to the clinicians what they should be doing. Psychotherapy: “Its about someone [a clinician] on your side but not necessarily someone siding with you.”

As someone who remembers those TV sets, it’s a perfect analogy

29:00 to 40:00 The intolerance of thought and essentialisim and incongruence between rigid belief that any streotypical gender expression must require medical/surgical intervention to make the body conform, while ignoring our understanding of gender fluidity amongst males and females which already exsists is one of the most astonishing aspects of this issue.

It is indeed. David Bowie identified as a gay cross dresser when 18 years old. And David Bowies bisexual identity was completely rejected because it didn’t conveniently fit into the gay narrative. An adult person who lives a rigid gender stereotype is not an example of adult health and maturity. What transition encourages is identity foreclosures at a very early age rather than ongoing identity development and more complex identity schemas. It pretends that a „cis gender“ stereotype is the goal when it should not be.

Foreclosing all problems as gender problems is negligence.

The arm and nose examples given towards the end show the fundamental wickedness of what has been happening.

This started with the GIDS clinic trying to do more work with less resources. This is your smoking gun. 25:15 - 25:59. Just follow the numbers or lack of numbers.

[@clodomiro2]

Being that true, I still rather believe that a ideologic driven and poor clinical reflection, in combination with the ill pressure of trans lobbies is in the root of this mess...

Heroe

[@theswoletariat3479]

Holy shit is a heavy hitter. No surprise then that he uses both Marxist and psychoanalytic analysis to make sense of this pheny
