I loathe the man, but is this definitely true? He’s been complaining recently about Conservatives “misusing” his reporting, should there be any benefit of the doubt he might be referring to them?

Yes, it's part of a Tweetstorm where he denies any responsibility for trans youth suicides as the result of being denied transition

Are you going to take responsibility for youth who commit suicide post-transition?

"Transition was shown to greatly reduce rates of suicidal ideation and suicide attempt. In total, 67 per cent of respondents thought about suicide more before they transitioned and only 3 per cent thought about suicide more post-transition. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sonja-Ellis/publication/281441727_Suicide_risk_in_the_UK_Trans_population_and_the_role_of_gender_transition_in_decreasing_suicidal_ideation_and_suicide_attempt/links/55f753b908aeafc8abfed03f/Suicide-risk-in-the-UK-Trans-population-and-the-role-of-gender-transition-in-decreasing-suicidal-ideation-and-suicide-attempt.pdf …

I have no doubt that transition is the right thing for some people to do. But for others it is not, and we're really not allowed to fully look into that at this point in history. One is seen as phobic if they feel that not enough is understood yet.

He's pushing a line that *by default* we should *deny* care. Not just transition, but puberty blockers to delay the choice. We don't know everything, but we do know enough to know that puberty blockers and openness to later transition are by far net positives.

Not sure about the claims you're making here, but what do you think of that part of the Hippocratic Oath where it says "first do no harm"?

I'm not asking anyone to "do harm", in fact I don't want them to do anything Sit there on your ass playing Candy Crush or whatever, just stay out of the way of people doing what they want

(Much like the gay activists storming the APA conference in 1971 it is probably high time trans people resigned themselves to the fact that the medical establishment as a whole is not a confused and ignorant ally but an active enemy)

I would say this is... not accurate? For one thing, bills like the one in Arkansas create massive headaches for doctors. What happens if they treat a trans person by accident and some cop decides they were too affirming?

It’s honestly not a big thing for doctors to have their authority challenged. They hate it from patients but they hate it way more from lawmakers
