Doctors have failed detransitioners

Doctors have failed detransitioners

The lessons from this sobering history are clear. When doctors fundamentally misunderstand the cause of a condition and treat the symptoms instead, and fail to properly monitor outcomes, and modify their practice in response to known adverse outcomes, our patients suffer — often greatly and for the rest of their lives — if indeed they survive. These fundamental errors underpin the depressingly regular scandals that punctuate the history of medicine. (The stakes are particularly high if surgery is involved.)
The existence of just one detransitioner suggests that an individual was not offered the correct treatment for their condition by the doctors charged with their care.

The United States is arguably one of the developed countries least hospitable to achieving secure attachment. The fact of the matter is that the United States is not particularly friendly toward stay-at-home mothers, whose work is valued at $160,000 a year with a workload of 2.5 jobs. Women have been permitted to join the labor market in the United States on the same terms as men: fertility does not impede productivity.

Other countries have done a better job of accepting biological realities, namely childbirth. America is the only rich country that does not offer any national maternity or paid family leave. While the average total paid leave available to mothers in the European Union is 64.6 weeks, and in the OECD 50.8 weeks, the United States offers 12 weeks of unpaid leave nationally—though small firms (fewer than 50 local employees) are exempt from this requirement.
