Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

Dr. Kaltiala has now responded to our criticisms of her study through Gender Clinic News, an anti-trans blog whose author describes transgender healthcare as "gender ideology."

Her response is notable less for what it addresses than for what it avoids entirely.

My counter-response:

Britain Still Has Conversion Therapists. Here’s Why. YouTube video by Philosophy Tube

The response to the conversion therapy video has been amazing. I’ve gotten messages from lots of NHS staff appalled to learn about the present-day abuses, who want to hold senior managers to account. As I say in the video, allowing this abuse undermines the entire NHS! 🏥

Results Gender-affirming surgeries were associated with a reduction in mental health treatment. Five years post-surgery, gender-affirming chest and genital surgery recipients respectively used 1.87 (95% CI 0.88; 2.80) and 5.03 (95% Cl 3.62; 6.44) fewer mental health services per annum. Mental health prescription utilization also decreased for chest surgery recipients [1.26 (95% C| 0.42; 2.10) fewer prescriptions at five years] but were not significantly different to the reference period for genital surgery recipients [0.01 (95% CI -1.03; 1.06) at five years]. Annual government spending on mental healthcare decreased by AU$430 (95% CI 270; 591) [US$310 (95% Cl 194; 425)] for chest surgery recipients and AU$884 (95% C| 545; 1,222) [US$636 (95% Cl 392; 880)] for genital surgery recipients at five years.

"Why do you advocate for yourself instead of letting me treat you however I want? Why do you insist on your personhood? Don't you see how offputting that is? I'd treat you like a person if you'd stop insisting you're one."

"A woman not only lost her job but suffered a terrifying experience in an environment where she should of been safe. Why? Because a man deemed her too tall to be a woman."

This centrist/"popularist" argument is just members of the majority demanding a fawn response when they attack a group they have the power to hurt. Removing from consideration the rights of minorities in favor of the desire of the majority for a legitimate target for abuse.

You know.

Conservatism.
