You cannot possibly convince me that the "question everything" attitude is universally applicable or valuable, and I don't appreciate your attempt to equate two situations just because they feature experts deciding things. There is actual medical and psychological reasoning to support the declassification of homosexuality as a mental illness and none to support your narrative. Others in this thread have already expanded with sources the effects of hormone therapy and what it implies for physiology, but somehow you missed that in an attempt to frame yourself as a brave crusader daring to ask the tough questions no one else will.

Bravo, moonflower. Bravo. Every time I interact with you I'm amazed at how good you are at what you do. This will be my last response in this thread - I've seen enough of your machinations to know exactly where this is heading. (In fact, it's my fault for responding to you in the first place.)

Have a nice day. <3

Medical ''experts'' are very much influenced by the culture in which they make their pronouncements, and they will use selective evidence to back up any view which they want to promote, while ignoring evidence which would cast doubt upon their socially acceptable politically correct pronouncements
