Doctors say there is a “perverse” monetary incentive structure built around pushing “transgender” drugs and surgeries on children.
medical associations such as the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics — among many others — still push doctors and patients to pursue it.“Most pediatricians are very uncomfortable that children are not mature enough at 12, 13, 14 [years old] to make decisions to pursue body-altering treatments,” he continued. “There probably are some, but that makes all of us very uncomfortable.
The movement has attacked the family unit and “taken advantage” of poor family structures to gain legitimacy. “At what point in the child’s development are you really able to say that they have an irreversible gender dysphoria that deserves an invasive treatment?” he asked, rhetorically. “The kids that are harmed are the kids who were not clearly, fully, accurately diagnosed, and then, they wind up at 18 or 20 [years old] mutilated, and their lives are really destroyed.”Both doctors described the AMA, AAP, and other professional societies as being “very much dominated by academicians.
The “transgender” issue is not the only radical change in the administration of health care in America, however. There has also been a new racialized focus coming from the country’s medical schools and professional organizations. One manifestation is in the medical school admissions process, which often requires applicants to capitulate to advocating for antiracism and diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as institute racial quotas for admission.
Medicine has historically “rewarded hard work” and “accomplishments,” the neurologist said, adding that patients expect a doctor who is “well-trained and very competent.”
