Trans person was removed after apparently voicing every concern I’ve had
1. Clinicians at gender clinics often identify as queer and this may be biased towards a particular outcome being seen as “better” than others, regardless of the actual qualifications
2. These clinics have been shown in the past with adults to qualify people who DON’T meet the criteria for gender dysphoria, so why couldn’t it also be happening with kids
“Aaron Terrell was removed from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s (WPATH) Annual Scientific Symposium last September after raising concerns about the "rapid medicalization" of gender-diverse children. The final straw was when he asked about the
precautions medical providers are taking to ensure adolescents aren't transitioning unnecessarily”
“Every single person there, at least by their outward behavior, was in
complete agreement with that non-critical, affirmative-only approach," Terrell told Fox News. "It's like at no point in the development of standards of care for gender dysphoria is any actual clinical evidence-based oversight happening. That's what was really so alarming, that it's activist driven from start to finish," he added. "It's not health care."
“After attending several sessions WPATH members and medical professionals hosted, Terrell said he realized that
many of SOC-8's authors were transgender and that "their investment in this health care is personally motivated."
"
A lot of those clinicians slash activists — well, I just got the impression that the activism seemed to very much be at the forefront, more so than the medicine or the research about trans care," Terrell said”

(Yes this is fox but ask yourself, what other news is going to want to report on this and risk career suicide??)
Apparently gender dysphoria alliance is not liked, due to them questioning the appropriateness of transition for minors among other things:
“
GDA is a hate group hiding behind a "scientific" veneer and this organization's publications are cited as reasons to deny gender affirming care by transphobic politicians. I hope you realize the harm spreading discredited science does to our community both on a medical and political level”
