I think that we actually started to see a pretty difficult but important conversation within WPATH, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, about the standards of care for youth care before government started intervening.
recognizing perhaps that they needed to tighten them.
And that's true across healthcare.
I mean, standards of care across different forms of care are constantly evolving.
That conversation was starting to happen.
You cannot tell me that it's the role of the government to preempt those conversations.
Those conversations should not be...
settled in legislative bodies by politicians who aren't looking at the data, don't understand the data, and certainly aren't objectively interpreting the data.
And look, I think all of this changes, though, the conversation changes, I should say, when people understand what it means to be trans.
Because I think right now we think of it as a choice.
We think of it as an intellectual decision, right?
Like, I want to be a girl, I want to be a boy, and I want to do this because of these rewards, or I don't want to do it because of these risks.
That's not what gender identity is.
It is much more innate.
It is a visceral feeling.
It's not the same as whether you get a tattoo or what you have for dinner.
It's not a decision.
It's a fact about who you are.
And I think the challenge in the conversation around gender identity that differs from sexual orientation is that most people who are straight can understand what it feels like to love and to lust.
And so they're able to enter into conversations around sexual orientation with an analogous experience.
