Having spent 16 years in three top tier children’s hospital clinics, I guarantee that I have a perspective on the adolescent gender care debate that you can learn from, so long as you are a Person of Reason. You can start by reading this piece:

Gender-Affirming Care for Adolescents: Separating Political Polarization From Medicine
The politicization of gender-affirming care creates a harmful and dangerous reality for transgender youth.

Our 8 year old daughter loves pitying me by saying “Mommies don’t understand” and asserts that daddy @owenmuir.bsky.social “is so last year” and boring. Guess Gen Alpha is not the target market for his Frontier Psychiatrists substack….owen is a lot of things but boring is not one of them!

My reaction to reading this statistic is decidedly not the “haha” emoji: 🤯
I think this fact (from the article) is useful for analyzing what happened.

What we are observing isn’t about one person obviously — and this below is not some straightforward endorsement of what happened.

History is helpful for understanding such moments.

On TikTok, posting anything condemning the assassination of a private citizen has led to the poster getting flooded w/ hateful comments. One looked through my husband’s bio and noted he was one step removed from the CEO at a device company as CMO, a veiled threat of course. #ThisisNotTheWay #MedSky
