Anyone that's old enough remembers that the big threat used to be overpopulation. To me it feels like we switched to the threat of underpopulation in the blink of an eye. So it's hard to take seriously.

The NYT is being disingenuous here. The AMA has *always* said that gender-affirming surgeries should generally be reserved for adults. That's part of why so few kids get them! The AMA reiterated this position and the NYT is characterizing it as a policy change. It's not.

Being against gender-affirming care isn't just like MAHA, it is MAHA, a worldview that boils down to medicine being an elite conspiracy

I don’t choose that word lightly. The idea that an entire field of medicine, as well as numerous academic journals, systematically suppressed evidence that gender-affirming care doesn’t work is a conspiracy theory. Meanwhile, none of these people can provide a shred of evidence for their core claim
