This is part two of a two-part series about the lawsuit against Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, and numerous false assumptions of pediatric gender medicine.
In this first video (which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/33iiKK1rhCo?si=waiLovoalWo-JMJz) I cover the first three false assumptions:
1) Discomfort with your biological sex always means you should transition
2) Bodies have nothing to do with identity and bodies don’t matter
3) Dysphoria Physical Disease Model: Bodies that clash with “identity” must be corrected
In this video I cover four more FALSE assumptions:
1) Gender-related medical interventions prevent suicide
2) If medical transition isn’t helping, the answer is… even more medical transition
3) Colluding with the trans fantasy improves mental health
4) Advocating for medical transition is more important than facts or ethics
I also reveal more details of the lawsuit against Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy and my thoughts on why she is such a staunch advocate for these interventions despite there being no evidence to back them up.
