Again, more baseless accusations. If you want me to take you seriously, then provide evidence to back up your claims.
You are just spouting a bunch talking points that have been thoroughly debunked, refuted, redacted, or disproven. Over and over again, like a mantra - something irrational and indoctrinated people do. Like cultists.

You see, indoctrinated people are preconditioned to dismiss facts.
I will change my view if new information comes along that effectively contradicts my beliefs.
This is why I follow the science, cite my sources, and so on. I go where the science and data lead. I go with facts, nor fear.
You are trying to shift the burden of proof, and that will not work.
You see, YOU are making the claim that goes against the scientific and medical consensus here. YOU are the one making claims that this is all corrupt evil medical and academia profiteering, corruption, etc, etc. Those are extraordinary claims. YOU have to provide evidence and proof of these claims.
The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) is a fringe anti-LGBTQ hate group that masquerades as the premier U.S. association of pediatricians. It is not a legitimate medical group.
Your argument contains several logical fallacies that undermine its validity:
Cherry-picking: You selectively cite a few dissenting voices and policy changes while ignoring the broader scientific consensus. This fallacy presents a skewed view of the evidence.
False dichotomy: You present the issue as a binary choice between your view and "mutilating children," ignoring the nuanced reality of transgender healthcare.
Ad hominem: Referring to the opposing viewpoint as a "cult" attacks the character of those involved rather than addressing their arguments.
Burden of proof fallacy: You incorrectly shift the burden of proof. In scientific discourse, the burden lies with those challenging the established consensus.
Appeal to emotion: Using emotionally charged language like "horror" and "mutilating" appeals to emotions rather than logic.
Your claim that "There is no consensus, on anything" is demonstrably false. While there may be ongoing debates in some areas, there is substantial agreement among major medical organizations on many aspects of transgender healthcare.
You misrepresent policy changes in other countries as wholesale rejections of transgender healthcare, when in reality, these are often nuanced adjustments to specific aspects of care. Furthermore, you misrepresent the position change of three of the four countries listed.
Characterizing gender-affirming care as "mutilation" is a misrepresentation that ignores the complex medical and ethical considerations involved in transgender healthcare.
To have a productive discussion, it's crucial to address the actual evidence and arguments without resorting to logical fallacies or misrepresentations.
Ooooh, this entire time you have only made baseless accusations about how the entire medical and scientific community is corrupt and cannot be trusted without a single shred of evidence.
And I am the one who doesn't care about evidence? Laughable. I cite my sources. It is not me who cannot accept the facts, your entire efforts here serve as a giant mirror that reflects just who is the one who is in a cult, repeating a mantra, and is obviously preconditioned to deny facts.
This is why I have not moderated a single comment you have made, no matter how unhinged or offensive. How did Sun Tzu put it? Never interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake? Something like that.
Thanks for proving everything I have written on my substack to date.

yes, yes, yes, there is a consensus.
All the major medical organizations are aligned on this one.
You are the one railing against them, so you have the burden of proof here. The percentages and studies are for your own self-edification.
You are speaking AGAINST that evidence, so you now have to provide evidence to back up the claims you make.
PITT is correct. There most definitely is a scientific and medical consensus. No aamount of refusing to accept that makes you right.
This is not longer good faith engagement and is not escalated to trolling.
You need to cool your heels and head for a bit, maybe touch some grass.
Once you are out of time out, maybe you will feel like being more civil and rational. Enjoy your 24 hour break.
