In which Florida legislators tell the Supreme Court that it's unfair to listen to the expertise of doctors who actually work with trans people because such doctors will almost certainly oppose a ban on their health care

First, as should be expected, physicians who
believe pediatric GAC is harmful generally do not
engage in it or participate in developing and
promoting it. But that is used against the States when
they seek to introduce expert testimony from such
physicians. After all, the reasoning goes, what would
a physician know about pediatric GAC without having
administered it or participated in its development?
See, e.g., Brandt v. Rutledge, 677 F. Supp. 3d 877, 914
(E.D. rk. 2023), appeal pending, No. 23-2681 (8th
Cir. argued en banc Apr. 11, 2024) (excluding expert
testimony partly because surgeon "never provided
gender-affirming surgery"); Kadel v. Folwell, 620 F.
Supp. 3d 339, 370 (M.D.N.C. 2022) (excluding
criticism of WPATH, Endocrine Society, Academy of
Pediatrics, and other organizational guidelines and
position statements because surgeon expert witness
was not among the privileged few selected to be in the
room when they were created); Kadel v. Folwell, 100
F.4th 122, 198-99 (4th
So the States must also engage experts34 who have
administered pediatric GAC and therefore maybelieve it to be appropriate at least sometimes. But
this invites the courts to reject the States' defenses on
the basis that "even the States' experts agree" with
the plaintiffs, at least in part. See, e.g., Brandt, 677 F
Supp. 3d at 913, 919; Ladapo, 2024 WL 2947123, at
*7 ("Even the defendants' expert Dr. Levine testified
that treatment with GnRH agonists and cross-sex
hormones is sometimes appropriate. C Heads, the
plaintiffs win; tails, the States lose,

Gotta follow the WPATH guidelines!

It is worth noting transfemscience.org is where I do get a lot of my personal info, however I've also researched extensive medical studies, the UCSF standards of care (because fuck WPATH), as well as have done extensive research into outlier cases due to being an anomalous case myself.

WPATH won't tell u this but the real answer to "spiro? y/n" is bicalutamide

Alex says "I have no idea what to do for hormones... better consult the dolls online." One Discord message says "you gotta get on the Spiro or else yr a fucking chump." Another says "Spiro? What are you? An asshole? Only fucking chumps do the Spiro." Alex looks exhausted.

He's a transphobic piece of shit too

"Shellenberger has publicly said "that he wants to end access to all gender-affirming surgeries". He was the keynote speaker for Genspect's 2022 conference in Denver. In 2024, Environmental Progress published "The WPATH Files", a leaked collection of internal discussions among people who maintain the medical standards of transgender health care. The documents revealed discussion over whether very young people could reasonably consent to gender affirming care. Critics accused Shellenberger of working with Genspect to release out of context and biased information about transgender people."
