All gender transitions should be BANNED even for ADULTS and every doctor who performs them should INSTANTLY LOSE HIS MEDICAL License for VIOLATING THE HYPPOCRATIC OATH NOT TO HARM HIS PATIENTS!! And he should also face jail time if he does it to a minor! We can no longer tolerate this CANCEROUS MORAL DEGRADATION THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!!

It's interesting that you feel so strongly about this issue. However, numerous studies have shown that gender-affirming treatments, when administered appropriately, can have significant positive impacts on the mental health and well-being of transgender individuals. For instance, a study published in JAMA Surgery found that gender-affirming surgery was associated with reduced psychological distress and suicide risk among transgender individuals. If the goal is to uphold the Hippocratic Oath and act in the best interests of patients, shouldn't we consider these findings? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this specific study and how it might relate to your perspective.
