WPATH: "You must completely abdicate your professional responsibility to assess and screen your clients and patients."
Actual licensed medical and psych practitioners: "OK, sure."
WPATH: You must affirm the trans identity of every single dysphoric youth who comes through your door. Every one. I don't care if they identify as a zombie-eating attack helicopter, you're going to affirm them, do you hear?"
Genuine, bona fide, practicing professionals: "Yup. Every single one. We are literal rubber stamps serving the Trans movement."
WPATH: "If anyone questions you, label them genocidal nazi bigots and call in the flying cancellation monkeys. I mean I want you to screech and point at them like Donald Sutherland at the end of Body Snatchers."
People who charge money and make a living doing this: "Bigots. Monkeys. Body Snatchers. Got it."
I see that WPATH is going to have several days of surgical training, even as the studies pile up finding that there is no advantage to surgery (Branstrom and Pachankis, **once corrected**), that the number of people with terrible outcomes isn't known, that the detransition and regret rates aren't known (Reuters, MacKinnon,Jorgensen, Cohn), that quality of life doesn't seem to improve after surgery (which surprised the study authors, Grupp et al)...just keep the patients and $$ rolling in? Anyone who points this out is going to be considered harmful or something?
Are they having any detransitioners talking or still pretending it's a glorious "journey" to have doctors modify bodies of *people* who trust them, while having no clue what is likely to happen to the *people* afterwards as a result.

Well, wow.
