Mark, thank you for being brave with this issue. I could not agree with you more, and I am afraid that all of us who feel the way you do and practice in this profession (psychology, psychiatry, psychotherapy) will have to make a professional stance, and possibly lose their license.

I know here in Canada this "gender affirmation" approach is quickly becoming an issue in this profession. I have students I supervise who are now in school and claim there is not a class they take that does not touch on the issue in some way. Our regulatory body, the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, has suddenly, and mysteriously, begun a new testing campaign to be certain we are all "up on new regulations and ethics"...with the potential of requiring "new training" to "re-educate" those therapists that "fail" the test. I am not yet certain what is on this "test" but I can make a good guess.

This is frightening to say the least. And it is a hill I will most certainly die on--if need be.

Thank you again for being so brave...God bless...

I commend you for all you do to cut through the insanities and depravities occurring in society and especially in government. I've posted many of your articles and quotes on social media. You are brilliantly incisive and articulate - and on target.

Children and teens are highly impressionable and easily led. If minors can't drink alcohol, they shouldn't be allowed to get radical, life-altering, growth-compromising, health-endangering, immune-system-damaging, body-scarring operations, hormones and drugs.

Trans procedures, drugs and hormones for minors must be criminalized. All involved must then be prosecuted as criminals - doctors included.

Leave kids alone. Trans decisions are to be made as adults - although even 18 is still too young for many people.
