How do we navigate the controversial and sensitive topic of transgenderism and pediatric gender medicine? Today, we're joined by Leor Sapir, a PhD holder in Political Science, who shares his insights from years of analyzing the legal, policy, and evidence-based landscape surrounding gender affirming care. We'll explore the medicalization of young people, the concept of the transgender child, and the ethical considerations of these treatments. We discuss the contentious issue of informed consent in gender affirming medicine and how, in reality, parents are the ones providing consent. Taking a closer look at the transgender child, we question the validity of the "brain sex hypothesis" and the affirmative protocol. Who is profiting from the medicalization of young people, and is there a hidden profit motive behind this push? As we venture further into the complexities of pediatric transitions, we examine the implications of school social transitions and the potential consequences for those who may regret or change their minds about transitioning.
Join us for this thought-provoking and significant conversation with Leor Sapir as we aim to understand the ethical questions surrounding transgenderism, transsexualism, and pediatric healthcare.
