@tarahaelle @ MINIMUM, AAP Docs should inform of iatrogenic risks of Affirmation Model, namely that social transition lends itself to persistence, lends itself to medicalization. Yes, all treatments have risks, all the more reason parents should be informed of all of them. /1@tarahaelle This is not what is happening. Without mental history of patient, w/o weighing of pros/cons, w/o expertise in area of GD, AAP Docs promote affirmation model only, which is a pyschosocial intervention. /2 forbes.com/sites/tarahael…
