I just saw this. CLEVER headline.
TBI is a bitch. I remember when this first dropped one of the speculations was that he had severe TBI from IEDs/breaching/MOUT etc. Unlike Clymer, I donāt think this was a politically motivated trooning.
Did you fact check this one?
This is going to be an interesting moral dilemma. A grown adult now, made the decision to trans. Didnāt like it made the decision to trans back.
Blames the VA for not doing enough consultation.
So do we place the responsibility of trangender in the hands of the government and bolster this process?
I say yes. The government should be part of people making irresponsible medical decisions because it would prevent incidents like this one.
Hey bro, the VA is part of the government. The Department of Veteransā Affairs is literally an executive agency with a cabinet level position at the head.
Correct. And apparently they didnāt do due diligence.
So i call for more diligence.
This isnāt going to be an interesting dilemma because everyone is going to semantics their way out.
Oh. And you guys are literally tryiing to change my story. With whatever this made up stuff is.
We are?
Do āweā do that?
Or do you?
There is a lot of conflicting information about how effective surgical and hormone therapies are for treating gender dysphoria. Itās seems like itās 50/50. I hope these risks are being shared with people considering those kinds of therapy.
He is not the only case of buyers remorse.
Complicated, and Complex problem sets.
Nothing is guaranteed.
Many possible paths to fitness, or failure.
Rule of thirds?
Hippocrates apparently came up with it.
This led Hippocrates to formulate the most robust and enduring finding in all of medical history- the ārule of thirdsā states that one third of patients get better on their own; one third donāt respond to treatment; and just one third really benefit from it .
You are.
You do.
Then you turn around and blame me for it.
My guess is you read something. And then substitute reality for your own.
Perhaps we need a Dept of Bad Decision Making, to stop citizens making bad decisions
My guess is that is what you do, and you are projecting, again.
Itās annoying, because other people might actually want to learn something,
but you remain a wannabe class clown, even though you are old now, Greg.
Not as old as me, not as old as @BKR , but you are not a teen ager or grade school kid anymore.
Not exactly what I was getting at. There are just studies done on outcomes for surgical and hormone treatments that are contradictory. Most of the long-term ones Iāve seen had the worst outcomes.
As I understand it, they generally arenāt even with the teenage patients. Some of the more social media famous surgeons are definitely engaged in a pro surgery marketing scheme.
And I donāt write this in a manner meant to be derogatory, but it seems like thereās a huge push back against these kinds of warnings for psychological reasons i.e. the patients/customers are mentally ill and being taken advantage of by unscrupulous medical āprofessionalsā and the mentally ill patients donāt want to be confronted with this.
I donāt know if you have figured this out yet. But I donāt trust the things you say.
