Andrew Doyle: A couple of examples. There's this document from The WPATH Files, a clinician is saying, "if an individual patient feels they made a mistake, be careful with not letting that change the way others receive care."
Here you've got another doctor saying, "patients need to own and take active responsibility for medical decisions, especially those that have potentially permanent effects."
Ritchie, what do you think about that?
Ritchie Herron: Well, to that I would say, Fuck WPATH.

Genderists swing back and forth between acting like this is all "necessary," "lifesaving" and "healthcare," and it being the patient's choice, little more than elective cosmetic surgery.
"Well, you should have thought of that before we cut off your gangrenous foot," isn't going to fly. But they want to get away with, "you should have thought of that before we cut off your perfectly healthy testicles." This fits in perfectly with the fact that activists don't talk about clinical diagnosis, they talk about believing the patient about who they are and what they want, and helping with their "embodiment goals," even if those goals are self-mutilation on larger scale.
