FWIW an editor sounded very receptive to running a LtE, and I've submitted one. But just wanna go on record as saying I asked for a correction and that in an ideal world, an error of this magnitude would elicit one. In the real world full-blown corrections are an uphill battlehttps://twitter.com/mattdiamond/status/1066460899546939393 …

Your language in the piece should have been a lot clearer if you meant to say that IC for adults was a positive advance. Sometimes when your main concern is your own objectivity the unintentional result is sounding like you’re counseling others to be skeptical.

Your own biases are clear enough to others even though, obviously, you don’t see them yourself. You’d really free yourself if you didn’t try for an objective tone, and it would be more honest for your readers.

Yes Jesse, that’s the passage I was referring to.

I'm confused by your argument. I lay out how trans people have been denied access to care and explain how informed consent is a (partial) solution to that history. Your argument is what, that I'm lying about my *real* stance?

The quoted passage has a few different ways it can come across. The dominant one- the one most come away with is something like “Trans activists say informed consent is good for these reasons, but there are reasons to be skeptical of those advocates and their reasoning.”

And then all the next part, about gnc kids, is a supporting argument for why skepticism about trans activists arguments is logical. I’m not saying this was your intention! Just that most people- pro, anti, or neutral towards trans rights- will come out of that section with that.
