“What has been currently happening is, frankly, not what we need to be doing, ethically.”
As we saw above, many WPATH members waive away the evidence of medical mistreatment.
But others appear genuinely concerned by the lack of informed consent.
A therapist describes talking to parents after they meet with a medical doctor.
“I would go in, and say, ‘Okay, so tell me what you learned.’ They would be like, ‘We have no idea what they were talking about.’
“Part of it is that they feel less deferential to the kind of doctor I am than the kind of doctor the medical doctor is.
"And because they really are seeking the care, they're just going to say they know when they really aren't picking up on what's happening.
“And so I think the more we can normalize that it is okay to not get this right away, that it is okay to have questions, is, you know, the more we're going to actually do a real informed consent process than what I think has been currently happening and that I think is, frankly, not what we need to be doing ethically.”
You can tell that her comment had an impact from the long and awkward pause that followed.
