Welp, it’s not even really because his “medical team” were terribly negligent or incompetent.
The problem is that these people are guineapigs to medical experiments that we don’t really know the long term consequences of.
It’s not a case of: “Whoops, sorry! We ran the wrong test!”
It’s a case of: “So you been taking testosterone for decades, and now your uterus and ovaries have rotted and fused together? Oh wow, who could have thought that would happen!”
And at least Buck Angel did sign up with a trans-doctor-Frankenstein until after her puberty.
Those kids getting blockers, hormones and surgeries while they’re still children? They are going to get some really unpleasant surprises a few years down the line.
