US re-entrance will face so much pent-up resentment that it might produce iatrogenic neo-Trumpism
I was in a meeting with senior Irish policymakers during their boom and when the UK was imploding politically.

A small slice of what US leaders are in for I think.

The guidelines are a bald declaration that the NHS is a trans-hostile organization that has adopted unevidenced theories and treatments that will systematically inflict iatrogenic harms - the NHS is re-embracing abusive conversion practices that we know have caused so much damage over decades
#NHS #Transrights As expected, NHS published new guidelines for treating Children and Young Persons (CYP) experiencing gender incongruence. Whilst they may receive care, none of their care is aimed at treating gender incongruence. And somehow the NHS thinks that when a person turns 18,

I'd say that women, trans and enby/gnc people are probably more exposed to secondary traumatisation (denial, suppression, iatrogenic harm, moral injury) in our systems but I think it's not helpful to quantify what events count as traumatic and how much.

Iatrogenic PTSD: When Healthcare Becomes the Source of Trauma
In very simple terms, iatrogenic means caused by medical treatment or by the hands of physicians. But how do the very hands expected to heal end up leaving people traumatized?

This is the blood and passion in all I do with my role as a

🚨 Great piece debunking the idea of full-body MRIs.

Bottom line: NO evidence of benefits and LOTS of possible harm (cost, anxiety, iatrogenic injury, overdiagnosis, etc.).
