Reminder that many prominent youth-gender clinicians are opposed to the idea of young people getting comprehensive mental-health assesments before obtaining permanent medical procedures designed to alleviate gender dysphoria, and they get quoted credulously in major news outlets

2/ Would be interesting for someone to ask @jack_turban what his general approach would be in a situation like this. My sense is he doesn't think there are any situations where adults should intervene to delay/stall transition, but I'm blocked so can't pose the question directly.
3/ Turban appears opposed to even a six-month assessment process before putting adolescents on medical treatments with permanent effects. He should expand on this a bit. More in-depth writing and dealing with counter-arguments, less snarky tweeting. These are serious decisions. 
4/ These are the people getting quoted credulously in major outlets and having an outsized role in making policy. In any other context this would be viewed as a scandal. But if you point that out, people will try to destroy you and your career.
