The gatekeepers at The Washington Post's comment section recently silenced me by deleting my comment to the effect that Planned Parenthood is under criticism for being too lax in prescribing testosterone to females. It turns out the truth doesn't hurt if it is suppressed.
Meanwhile, as someone who listens to podcasts on and off for most of the day, I find myself being barraged by Planned Parenthood ads that feed the left's moral panic about an assault on the rights of "LGBTQ" people in general and on gender-affirming medical care in particular. (I'd love to hear one of those middle-aged male cable news pundits explain just exactly what "queer rights" would be.) It's time to start sending mystery shoppers into Planned Parenthood facilities to document the due diligence or lack thereof before they prescribe the coveted "T" to gender-confused teen girls and young women. Note, though, that such a project should be done according to advice from qualified legal counsel and within an organizational structure rather than as freelancing venture.
Sex realists have been playing catch-up from the very beginning in this highly asymmetrical battle against the harmful excesses of applied gender identity ideology.
Don’t know about PP, but a woman wrote somewhere on Substack about how she did the “mystery shopper” thing at Kaiser in California and was taken pretty far down the affirmation / hormone prescription / surgery prep track with minimal questioning or diligence.
And Kaiser is definitely doing these procedures (see, e.g., the Chloe Cole lawsuit) so if that study leaves out Kaiser, then it’s definitely an underestimate.
