like every single fucking opinion piece on about this stuff just assumes this is something they're qualified to opine on in the first place. nobody cares about your shitty fucking opinion dude! this is not an issue of major public importance.

there's no other subject in healthcare that routinely gets this many drive-bys from people utterly ignorant on the subject and who would obviously know better if the patients in question had, like, cancer or something. it's only because it involves Those Weird Gender People that anyone cares at all.
