4thWaveNow founder tweeting here today. When my daughter believed she was a man, I sought (like many parents do) detransitioners for wisdom. Their main message to me: We can't "fix" it. We don't have all the answers. Focus on/expose MDs & therapists who let this happen to us.https://twitter.com/turnthetide2018/status/1148241936404365312 …

But even as we continue to do just that, keep in mind that these professionals truly believe they're doing what's best for gender dysphoric kids/young adults. In some cases, they are. But too many have a blind spot the size of Mt. Everest about the ones they're actually harming.

It's not necessary to demonize affirmative gender specialist to call them to account. They aren't ogres. Med-psych professionals have gone down the wrong road many times in history--not because they were awful people, but because they lost perspective; developed tunnel vision.

That particular surgeon though, with his santa hat, posing with buckets of women's breast tissue and glasses of women's body fat like it was all some hilarious joke - I don't believe he has good motives. It's not demonising to point out extreme hatred of women when you see it.

I don't know whether he hates women or not, but those photos are despicable; almost beyond belief. (The thread wasn't about excusing behaviors--it was to explore underlying psychology.)
