@atrupar Let us all now respectfully bow our heads, in respect to our sadly departed friend, Irony.
Irony is dead. Brutally assaulted thousands of times by the Orange Monster. His plans for the body? Cremate, cremate again, treat with acid, and fly it into the sun.
@tylerblack32@JGBriggsPhD I have used puberty blockers - reversible - in select patients. I am just a humble FP (I prefer the Quebecois title of Omnipracticien) and in my experience, it takes quite a while just to ensure we have the right diagnosis and rule out mental health illness. So most > 18 for GAH.
@tylerblack32@JGBriggsPhD Something near to your heart, Dr. Black, is suicide. I imagine there are studies of suicide rates in Trans people who have had treatment for their gender dysphoria vs. those who have not. I wonder if Dr. Briggs (he states he has PhD - me too) is aware of those frightening rates.
@tylerblack32@JGBriggsPhD Definition of minor = ?? - age you can start drinking? Voting? Driving a car? I have only had one patient less than 18 years old starting hormone confirming therapy and they are 17 and under the care of a pediatric endocrinologist.
@tylerblack32 Because people are not performing for the referees in ER. Maybe the docs could show some yellow cards for simulation. Two on the same ER shift means expulsion. Works marvels for the worried well.
@Acyn Prove it. Put in electronics so no human pilot needed, then Drumpf can fly around the world forever on infinite fuel. For the rest of his life. Which might become mercifully briefer than he has calculated.
