One of the great questions to be answered when this falls is how or why did clinicians ignore the influence of social media as a causal factor? It's not only glaringly obvious to anyone who spends five minutes thinking about this, but we have story after story from detransitioners and desisters actually TELLING us this is how they were drawn into gender ideology. I told clinicians that they were causing harm, and to go to the detrans reddit site and they refused. I can understand that it would be hard to face the truth about the "care" you're providing, but wouldn't it be astronomically harder to live with the suspicion that you are participating in a medical scandal? If we are to prevent something even worse in the future — and I absolutely do not want to imagine what that might be — we need honest answers for why evidence was ignored. My fear is that there isn't really an answer. That this is the product of incurious minds who simply couldn't be bothered to care.

I am jazz started in 2015. That is when the uptick in girls confused and ill thought with the help of the so called medical destroying

industrial complex filled with drs, therapists, surgeons, drug companies.... that they could become something else. Now it is better to be perceived as a white girl dressing like a boy then just a white girl with privilege.
