AMA suggests taxpayers should fund $100,000 to $300,000 Uterus Transplant surgeries. I suppose we have to pony up the cash since "science"
Loony logic from the article,
"Transwomen lack a trait (the ability to bear children) that may cause them to experience psychological dissonance in a way that undermines their health and well-being," the ethics paper says. "The lack of a uterus also closes off the prospect of gestating a child in a way that is available to women as a class. It follows that lack of a uterus is an obstacle to full participation in the social goods " My opinion, transwomen are deep into psychological dissonance without a uterus and still will be with one.
Also, what are the "social goods attached to women's identity."?

bighairymike: AMA suggests taxpayers should fund $100,000 to $300,000 Uterus Transplant surgeries.
No, it does not; you've been suckered by the Washington Examiner.
First, the article, which presented ethical arguments for a hypothetical health issue, was written by a university philosophy professor and a fourth-year medical student and included the clear disclaimer that the views expressed "are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views and policies of the AMA." Second, it was published in the AMA Journal of Ethics, an editorially independent journal from the AMA. Third, had the Washington Examiner simply run its article past the AMA, it would have bee informed that the AMA did not endorse the procedure.
From the AMA:
Multiple media outlets have published inaccurate stories with inflammatory headlines about an AMA Journal of EthicsŪ article that explored ethical considerations for uterus transplantation in transgender individuals. These outlets falsely report that the journal article represents the views or policy of the AMA.
Here's a question for you: should insurance companies provide IVF and fertility preservation coverage?

How convenient. The AMA still has their name on it.
How about this,
Multiple media outlets have published inaccurate stories with inflammatory headlines about the Aryan Brotherhood recently distributing vile racist literature. The distribution of this literature was conducted by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Aryan Brotherhood and falsely reported that the white supremacist literature represents the views or policy of the Aryan Brotherhood..

You can dress however you want, and think of yourself as a woman, and can even mutilate your body in that belief, but you are and always will be a man. It is no different that someone who truly believes they have been abducted and probed. Fine by me if that makes you happy. Just don't expect me to embrace your fantasy, and by all means don't use government to force me to not hold or express that opinion.
No, all that said, there are genuine cases of gender dysphoria. But their number is about 0.00001% of the cases that are popping up. And children most of all need time for their brains and identity to mature before making unalterable life changing decisions. Instead, at the first mention they are rushed into treatment, sometime secret counseling after being diagnosed by a grade school nurse. Time to put the brakes on this nonsense, except for the few hundred cases of genuine dysphoria and even for them, don't start whacking off body parts until they are 18, even if the parents want them whacked.

Puberty blockers and surgery.That never happens at five years of age. Never. As in never. But feel free to go find some obscure reference to it happening once somewhere.
Before you do, though, here's the AP and Reuters debunking that nonsense:
https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-transgender-...https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-children...According to Endocrine Society guidelines, patients who want to begin medical treatment like puberty blockers, hormones or surgery should be old enough to give "informed consent," which the organization says is usually attained by 16.

BHM: But their number is about 0.00001% of the cases that are popping up,/i>
Over 1.6 million adults (ages 18 and older) and youth (ages 13 to 17) identify as transgender in
the United States, or 0.6% of those ages 13 and older https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/...
So 1,600,000 X .00001% = there is .16 person in the US that is transgender? What have you done with the other .84% of this person? You need to turn yourself in and tell us where the other .84% of this person is.
Joking aside, one of my friends has a beautiful Filipina trans as his partner. She teaches chemistry and biology in high school. I think she lucked out and got gender affirming care at an early age.
Trans are much more accepted in the Philippines, but most don't have access to any hormone treatments, and fewer to operations. It's part of the normal abnormalities of man. They have much fuller lives and pass for normal if you allow gender affirming care.

You know what society really needs. Government should just step in and censor one side of the conflicting information so mere citizens don't have evaluate and decide for themselves.
Reported by PBS so it's gold Jerry,
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/when-tr...The Endocrine Society's guidelines suggest starting puberty blockers for transgender children when they hit a stage of development known as Tanner stage 2 ' usually around 10 or 11 years old for a girl and 11 or 12 years old for a boy. The same guidelines suggest giving cross sex hormones ' estrogen for transgender girls and testosterone for transgender boys ' at age 16. However, doctors caution that estrogen and testosterone, the hormones that are blocked by these medications, also play a role in a child's neurological development and bone growth.And giving up a little of your child's neurological development and bone growth is well worth the feelings of virtue that will wash over as you are praised bu the pro trans community.
The article also includes this but it is an old article so maybe the FDA is on board now, but we know it was heresy to use Ivermectin off label and doctors were forbiden from mentioning it in certain jurisdictions.
However, the use of puberty blockers to treat transgender children is what's considered an 'off label' use of the medication ' something that hasn't been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. And doctors say their biggest concern is about how long children stay on the medication, because there isn't enough research into the effects of stalling puberty at the age when children normally go through it.

Glad for that positive outcome.
Lotsa stories out there like this one....
Eva is a woman who lived as a transgender male as a teenager. Though she did not medically transition, she determined ' as an adult ' that she no longer wanted to live as a man. She states that she felt 'misled' by both family members and doctors. According to an article about her, 'Eva, now 24, is part of a controversial cohort known as detransitionsers and desisters, transgender people who come to rethink their decision, often having already undergone drug and surgical treatments.'

You should carry it all thee way through.
'One review of multiple studies published in 2021 involved patients' short- and long-term satisfaction scores after surgery and found that of those who underwent transfeminine and transmasculine procedures, only 1% regretted it.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/09/health/top-surgery-...1% is a phenomenal success rate. They're doing a good job. Of course there is that .84% person. ;P

I noted in my post PBS was an old article.
BTW, neither your AP nor your Reuters article have any time stamp that I could find.
And the quote you attributed as an Endocrine Society guideline was stated thusly in the AP article,
Guidelines recommend starting these when kids are mature enough to make informed medical decisions. That is typically around age 16, and parents' consent is typically required, Dr. Gina Sequiera, co-director of Seattle Children's Hospital's Gender Clinic, previously told the AP.

The whole thing is a lie. In order to transplant a uterus, which has never even been contemplated from woman to woman, anti-rejection drugs would be needed. These medications are not only mutagenic but abortifacients.
