Which twin has the false narrative?
BCH tries to convince us that it’s the victim here.
BCH does not and will not, it says fiercely, “perform a hysterectomy as part of gender-affirming care on a patient [that is, a girl] under the age of 18.” But it will on a girl 18 or older. It will also continue to refer to medically unnecessary hysterectomies as “part of gender-affirming care,” as if that category were as well-established and reliable and sciencey as how to mend a broken bone.
What if they’re wrong? What if the whole idea of “gender-affirming care” is just another fad like Recovered Memory or The Wandering Uterus?
BCH says with apparent confidence that the attention to their “gender-affirming care” is based on a “false narrative.” But what if the “narrative” isn’t false? What if it’s the claim that removing a healthy uterus is “gender-affirming care” that’s a false narrative?
If they’re lucky, climate change will render it all moot.
But I remember that they strongly implied that they would, maybe even said so explicitly, in a video that I saw as recently as last week.
I’m glad they’re getting harassed. They deserve it. They had the chance to speak out against these policies and chose not to.
I don’t think they deserve harassment, but they’re defining harassment as asking them questions about their scary destructive practices, which is both absurd and a dereliction of duty.
“Leave our doctors and nurses alone.”
How about BCH doctors and nurses leave the children alone?
Or to (mis)quote Pink Floyd:
Hey, doctors, leave those kids alone!
