Operating on the bodies of children so they look like the opposite sex is the future, said the media. It wasn’t. It’s increasingly the past. And it won’t come back, not even in CA. Historians will struggle to understand trans medicine alongside bloodletting, lobotomies & Tuskegee

The statement is highly critical of transgender medical practices, using charged language such as 'deranged medical predators' and 'experimented on children without their informed consent.' It implies a strong negative judgment on the medical professionals involved in transgender healthcare for minors, comparing it to historical medical malpractices.

    The language used is disrespectful and could be considered as harassment towards medical professionals. [-2]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in constructive criticism and instead uses personal attacks. [-2]
