đź§µ 1/ When I graduated from medical school, I took an oath. I stood up, raised my right hand, and vowed to prevent disease whenever I could. At the time, I expected to go to war against cancer and schizophrenia.

2/ But after forty years, I’ve realized my most challenging fight is not against deadly diseases, but deadly ideas.
@Miriam_Grossman - Miriam Grossman MD
3/ The beliefs that man and woman are human inventions; that the sex of a healthy newborn is arbitrarily and often incorrectly “assigned”; and that as a result the child requires “affirmation” through risky medical interventions

4/ -- these ideas are divorced from reality and therefore hazardous, especially to children. They are, in fact, a mockery of 21st century science, and cause immeasurable harm to young people and their families. I know, because I’m a psychiatrist and they’re my patients.

5/ I don’t have the words to describe the sorrow of parents I know whose young daughter was removed by a government agency, placed in foster care, and started on testosterone. Their crime? Insisting she’s a girl.

6/ Or the anguish of a young man I see, who sought castration to become his “authentic self” and now, after the fact, regrets it. Or the rage of a twenty-something woman going through menopause due to “gender affirming” removal of her reproductive organs.

7/ Are these atrocities really happening in our country? They sure are, and you must protect your loved ones from joining the multitude of victims.
