So does that mean baby diddling is now officially a medical specialty?
Now-deleted, they say? Good thing the internet never forgets.

"Claims." Interesting word choice there.
I take it this is the absolute state of medicine and psychology? If so, may God help us all.
Bullshit to justify getting funding. It’s the cause du jour so there’s probably a shit tonne of cash being thrown around for trans stuff, and the more pseudo-scientific “proof” they can cook up that this exists, the more “patients” they’ll find and the more funding they’ll get.
This is where academia, peer review and “trust the science” fall down. Anyone who’s worked in research or academia knows this is the state of play now (not just in tranny stuff, in a large swathe of research and academic subjects), it’s why the quality of people involved is plummeting. Money and power are the driving forces, not a need to cure an illness or discover something new and helpful. It creates exactly this kind of industry, where patients are manufactured to justify the funding for the illness.
But hey, let’s experiment on kids, it’s totally ethical if little Johnny says he likes dolls instead of cars. He knows himself best and reality is what I say it is, so shut up, bigot. I thought forcing male drug-induced nipple slop on newborn kids was bad enough, but we just keep getting worse.
Edit: there’s been a real push in the last 15 or so years to pathologies perfectly run-of-the-mill and inconsequential shit. It started on social media, with people declaring stuff like feeling uncomfortable with how their body looked as “dysphoria”, feeling nervous in a crowd when dressed up like a lunatic as “CPTSD”, and other such rubbish. There are legitimate issues that need those terms, but with po-mo language meaning whatever I say it does and victimhood being rewarded with attention, people have been unwittingly encouraged to take on these labels and “illnesses” and treat them as facets of their personality, as if they are something to admire (rather than something to get under control and live with).
Some of these people then went to university and decided to declare their pet affliction their area of study (because that totally makes them unbiased). Lo and behold, papers published on how difficult but valid and brave these people are, and wishful thinking about how the world should cater to them, peer reviewed by other victimhood olympians as True And Honest. Get enough of them together who want to suck the medical establishment’s tit, and you end up where we are today - with a self-sustaining loop of woke scientists telling people their boring, normal feelings make them super special victims, and their super special victims start seeing super special victimhood everywhere, including their own children (who are young and helpless and so the superest most specialist victims of all). Who looks after these super special innocent children? Why won’t doctors care or take them seriously?! Oh, now there’s a hospital with an entire department set up to cater for this totally manufactured patient base, one designed to be above all criticism because it involved a precious minority and they’re also children. Checkmate, far right Nazi bigots!
In short, academia and research are fucked, this is the result, thank you, good evening, and please, try the fish.
my drag queen storytime performance to my queen Dolly’s rendition of Harper Valley PTA for @cheerupcharlies NYE cause I had to sock it to the TX republicans who are more concerned about protesting and introducing bills about drag shows than the fact that our state has seen the most school shootings since 2012, we continue to drop in rank among the states for education funding and teacher pay, that 1/5th of our children are living in poverty and we are the last state in child healthcare insurance coverage. overall we rank as the 5th WORST state for children and it’s NOT BECAUSE OF DRAG SHOWS. continuing to use drag queens as a scapegoat to the real issues these kids are facing only allows them to persist and directly harms our kids and queer people. TX republicans do not care about kids like they want to claim to or they would be protesting the churches who have been abusing children for decades or funding our failing healthcare and education systems instead of harassing people in a fucking wig and pair of fake lashes. they’re the same kind of hypocrites as in the Harper Valley PTA. and while they may continue hiding behind their deflections, bigotry and guns, I have knowledge, truth, empathy, a couple stiletto heels and a COMMUNITY they can never get rid of. I am a NATIVE TEXAN and I am a DRAG QUEEN and I am not going ANYWHERE cause my state and its children and queer people DESERVE BETTER and I believe we can build a better future for ALL of us and it starts with recognizing the REAL issues we face in this state. LONG LIVE TEXAS DRAG! thanks to @photo.jay for capturing my storytime and to all who came out to celebrate the new year with me! love and appreciate y’all, the incredible talent I got to work with, and @cheerupcharlies for giving me a mic and a stage. happy new year. plz continue supporting local drag in 2023
