Because there is nothing here to discuss. You bring up the same old tired talking points which are always brought up by transphobes:
“They aren’t telling patients about the risks and dangers, I just want them to be properly informed!”, when the whole point of the long waiting times and intense process before anything medical happens is explicitly because of this issue. There is no other medical intervention with anywhere close to this amount of information, but it’s still not enough, even if you can’t put into words why.
“So many people regret transitioning!”, when literally almost every other medical intervention has much high regret rates (yes, even higher than the 13% you pulled out of wherever). You’re also leaving out that the biggest reason for detransitioning is missing social acceptance.
What other points did you bring up? As I said, it’s the usual bullshit, packaged in the usual “just asking questions”. If your issue is informed consent or regret rates, why not focus on one of the hundreds of medical interventions with higher rates? Why focus on the one with incredibly low rates?
So you just want to spread knowledge? Again, why not focus on the issues of informed consent and regret rates of the hundreds of medical interventions that are talked about much less? Why do you focus on the one intervention that’s doing the best in those areas, and that is already talked about every day?
How very strange and unexpected that, even though you are very interested in informing people about regret rates and informed consent of medical interventions, you’ve only chosen to actually do so for one of the least problematic interventions following your criteria. I wonder why?

Every day there are 10k…

Because this post is about trans care. There are certain online ethics that kinda prohibit hijacking of posts. One of the 10k today?

Can you share a single comment of yours doing this same thing for another medical intervention?
