Expert Psychologist Specializing in Gender Dysphoria Suspended From Twitter For Publishing... Science

You will be made to care obey.

[Dr. Ray Blanchard] still affirmed the controversial idea that sex-change surgery is the "best treatment" for "carefully screened, adult patients, whose gender dysphoria has proven resistant to other forms of treatment," but he opposed "treating" children who may change their minds....

After this qualified statement of support, Blanchard explained his clinically-informed opinion that "sex change surgery should not be considered for any patient until that patient has reached the age of 21 years and has lived for at least two years in the desired gender role."

This call for a delay is controversial, as many transgender activists encourage hormonal and surgical treatments for minors, even children. Some researchers have received government grants to try such treatments on 8-year-old children, and a British transgender activist took her 15-year-old son to Thailand to get him castrated.

...

Although the Ph.D. psychologist supported sex-change surgery for 21-year-old adults whose gender dysphoria has persisted against other forms of treatment, he acknowledged that even post-operative transgender individuals are still biologically male or female beneath the surgical changes. No matter how good transgender surgery gets, a biological male still has X and Y chromosomes in virtually every cell of his body and a biological female still has two X chromosomes. No surgery or identity can alter this.

So trans-activists demanded that Twitter take his scalp, and Twitter -- which is now basically a trans-exclusive site -- gave them the scalp.

They've now reversed themselves, saying "it looks like we made an error," but only after a big furor and liberal-but-not-SJW Jess Signal repeatedly cited from the DSM-V manual, which calls gender dysphoria a mental illness, and begged Twitter to show its true ideological censorship stripes by banning him for quoting the best known current science on gender dysphoria.

Cue Baseball Cuck and David French and Jonah Cuckberg to tell us that Corporations Are Holy and must be completely free of the social pressure exerted on all real citizens (including the social pressure that corporations themselves exert on actual living Americans).
